    From the moment we reached out, the team at The Annex was incredibly helpful, kind, and flexible. Their intimate, unique, and fun event space was the perfect backdrop for our smaller wedding celebration. Zahava was super communicative and helped make sure everything ran smoothly, allowing us to fully enjoy our special day. We couldn't have asked for a better venue to bring our vision to life. Highly recommend The Annex to any couple looking for a one-of-a-kind wedding experience.
