😠 I got a set of Michael Reeder's work, but I was very disappointed at the way I was treated as an asian in the shop. The tall girl who served me didn't give me a friendly look and treated me in a rude way(from body language and tone). Won't recommend it to my friends unless the owner could do some t...

👍👍 Such a beautiful venue for a wedding! I have attached over 30 pictures for reference. The parking is at the back: $30 until 4pm, and only $10 after 4pm :) The exterior is very well maintained.
