There aren’t enough good words to describe how wonderful our experience was at Clerestory. The ladies at Clerestory went above and beyond to make our day memorable and incredible. I loved that we were able to make a separate ceremony location and separate reception location. The venue offered beautiful light, gorgeous features and was so welcoming. This space is a blank canvas, and we turned it into everything we could ever dream. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would!!!
