This is a scam, do not rent this venue!!This place seemed a little off to me from the beginning, but I met Tori (the owner) in person, and paid her in full for the venue. I have a contract with Tori, but due to COVID my event was cancelled in February; my event was scheduled for April. At that time I was in full contact with Tori and had agreed to wait for a date when i would be able to have my event. Since the climate around this issue has not changed much, i gave Tori a call and asked for a refund because I was cancelling. Tori agreed to give me 1/2 of the full amount of $550 that I had paid to rent the venue. She never sent me this refund, when i called her to have her send it, she told me she was confused and had to look at her system because she thought she had sent it. When i asked her for a refund initially, I told her to use Zelle, CashApp or Venmo (i paid her $550 CASH). She claimed that she had sent it through Paypal, but i never used paypal for any transaction with Tori (so how can she have myu info?) and she never sent me any confirmation that she had done this. This is where the scam began, she just has never refunded any money to me. NOW I AM ASKING FOR A FULL REFUND, since I have not been able to contact tori for more than 4 months.Tori has not issued me a refund for an event that was supposed to happen back in April of this year (2020). As of today (10/06/2020), Tori has avoided all of my text messages, calls, tweets, and emails. I also submitted a complaint with the BBB. I must have already called the business number more than 50 times, and I still have yet to be contacted by anyone regarding this issue. I really don't want anyone else falling victim to this scam; Tori is deceiving and just wants to take your money and not even book a date for an event. PLEASE DO NOT DO ANY BUSINESS WITH TORI!!!! AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COST!!!

The hostess was super fantastic from beginning to end - from being very responsive and always eager to help with any questions along the way. My general experience was smooth and exciting when event planning can certainly be stressful instead of enjoyable! The space itself was so versatile in terms of decorating and was much larger than expected. My guests truly felt they time-warped back to the 90s with my 90's theme birthday party. It was a wonderful space in Downtown Jersey City with 30 attendees. I would most certainly book again!

Excellent place to be, I enjoyed the flat rate, with nice kitchen. The place came with tables and chairs, wifi.Clean and beautiful white space.

We had our baby shower at the storefront and it worked out well. There were about 30 to 35 people. The venue came with several various sized tables which we used for setting up food, gifts, and a drink station. We needed to bring in our own 6-foot long tables (3 tables) for guests to sit down and eat. We used the fold-up chairs that were provided in the space (about 25 chairs, I think). My two complaints were that (1) the room got very loud with just people talking- it’s just the room acoustics; and (2) there isn’t a kitchen, other than a refrigerator. A sink would be nice to empty out drinks or clean things. You also need to be prepared to bring EVERYTHING you will need- from coolers to drinkware to a music player/speaker (we couldn’t get the one there to work.). But the space is pretty much a blank canvass so you can decorate however you want. We put up balloons and banners, and used table cloths and table centerpieces with the color scheme I wanted. The hanging strings of ceiling lights that come with the place are a great touch. Also, Viktoria was easy to work with and very responsive. Be prepared that you will need to purchase “event insurance” as per her contract. That was an unexpected $170 we had to pay.

Just a quick walk from the Grove St path, this retail level storefront is a rare opportunity to host a pop up shop, meeting, or a gathering to celebrate an occasion. The patio will be nice as the weather warms up and the street level access is so convenient. I highly recommend this space.
