It is a 100% solar-powered site with a fun, photo-friendly, and laid-back vibe, offering so much inherent character that little to no decor is needed.

A note for attendees is that more heaters, especially from the awning area, could be beneficial.
I attended a wedding at this place, it is very charming and is open to personalized anyway you desire, can be casual, boho, elegant, but not stuffy. They should have a more visible sign

Great event venue. Nice setup and easy to mingle. Good valet as well, easy to get in and out of. The auto shop theme is great too. Love the vintage signs.
