Amazing Venue, More Amazing Staff
I hosted my birthday in the back seating area of Cork and Stem and it was everything I wanted and more! Jenna was extremely helpful with walking me through a food and drink menu that fit my needs. The charcuterie board that they put together was PHENOMENAL! Not only did Jenna go above and beyond to make my birthday feel special but the staff also shared her work ethic and compassion and made it one of the best birthdays ever! I got so many compliments about how cute and chic everything was but the trick was I didn't decorate at all. They were impressed with the natural aesthetic of Cork and Stem! The flower bar is a perfect backdrop for photos. I will definitely be hosting more special occasions here!
Surprise Birthday Event
While we didn’t use Cork & Stem for a wedding event, I still had to leave a review. We used their space to host a surprise 40th birthday party and it was fantastic! Jenna and her team treated us like family, going above and beyond to ensure it went smoothly. They allowed us in early to set up, had food laid out perfectly and even helped us clean up our private decor. We highly recommend Cork & Stem for any type of get together and we will be back!
A Wonderful Wedding Partner
Cork & Stem was an amazing venue that truly helped make our special day perfect. From the very beginning, their communication was transparent, honest, and incredibly helpful as we worked together to realize our vision for the wedding. The quality of their work was absolutely beautiful, and they were so flexible and accommodating throughout the planning process - providing great value for the cost. They were wonderful to work with, and helped us create the incredible atmosphere we were hoping for. I would highly recommend Cork & Stem to any couple looking for a beautiful venue with a great location and incredible service.
