It stormed terribly the entire day before and a little wet grass was the side effect. I would absolutely rent this space for a family reunion or wedding. There's a cute town nearby for anything you could need and it's very peaceful. Excellent spot for a yoga retreat! I highly recommend checking out Black Barn Harvest Moon for your next event!

One of the things I missed most about New York City when I was an undergrad at Cornell was the…read moreindependent films. I mean, sure Cornell Cinema was awesome at bringing good films to campus, but none of them were movies that were out NOW. Then I found Fall Creek! Which was basically the answer to my prayers. Fall Creek is small and a bit out of the way for most people, but I feel like that only works in its favor. There is no glamour here, just the film (and knowing indie flicks, most of them probably wouldn't go with the concept of glamour anyway) and you in a chair that feels much older than you are. Fall Creek always brings an awesome selection of films to Ithaca, and I've run into a lot of my professors here, who, too, must miss the cultural fulfillment of more metropolitan areas. But the place makes you glad you're in Ithaca and not in a crowded city center - not only do you get to watch your indie movie in peace, you get room to think about it too.

He showed up early and had everything ready to go at the beginning of the party. The Photo Booth was very successful with partygoers partially because of Dray's enthusiasm and encouragement. He adjusted the camera up for tall people and down for people in wheelchairs. And made sure that photos were printed for each person in each photo. It went so well that my mom wants a Photo Booth again at her party next year.

Chris and his team were absolutely incredible to work with throughout our entire wedding planning…read moreprocess in Ithaca! I'm a detail-oriented person myself so deeply appreciated Chris' professional, highly organized, and fun presence throughout our wedding process. Chris handled so many components of our wedding - from the amplification for our ceremony, to cocktail hour music, to being our MC for the night, to the lighting, to the reception with live musicians. Everything ran so well and the dance floor was packed the entire night with guests from all walks of life and ages - family, friends, aunts and uncles alike. Before planning a wedding, I didn't realize just how critical a DJ is to making a wedding run smoothly. That person ends up being the key coordinator for the night - handling introductions, announcing and facilitating key components like first dances and speeches, and making sure the flow of the music engages all guests. Thanks to Chris, my husband and I were confident that each aspect of our wedding would be covered seamlessly. Chris also went above and beyond to make our wedding special. When we asked if he could help us find live musicians to perform alongside him, he sourced a drummer and several saxophonists for us. It made our wedding so unique, and afterwards, many guests specifically said how amazing they thought Washburn Entertainments was. Thanks SO much Chris for everything you did to make our wedding possible, you're the best! (The photos included with this review are by Chris Szulwach at The Story Photography)
