Proprietor Renee Tucker— Shelbyville resident and hospitality industry veteran— renovated and launched the new concept to fill a void in the area. "In these tough economic times people are looking for somewhere classy to hold their special events. Until now, our area has been short on options which means people have to travel out of town. This over-complicates planning and drastically drives up the overall price of their event. Our goal is to provide an elegant local experience through affordable packages that pack in a lot of value."

Tucker's event planning team understands the numerous details associated with hosting special events. "We offer simple in-house packages as well as offsite party rentals, including tables, chairs, linen services, sound systems and lighting with affordable packages all under one roof to ensure a stress-free experience." explained Tucker.
