"Bethany was so amazing to work with. We had plenty of space for our guests to enjoy our wedding and reception. Renting the venue was super simple, including table and linen rentals. Definitely recommended adding Swirl to your event. Our guests really enjoyed the flavors and toppings. Staff were super helpful with all our questions and requests."

"The venue set up nicely for our birthday party. We had it catered and 65 people in attendance. Scott was very helpful in getting slide show going and showing us how to use microphones etc. Staff were very helpful and were easy to work with. The only glitch was information on getting 1 day liquor license. You could need to start doing that a month to 6 weeks in advance, instead of the 2 weeks we were told. Not having beer and wine did not lessen what a good party we had..."

"Beautiful modern space! Gave me the inspiration on how to design my own future home. Very clean. Easy check-in. The host left delicious chocolate bites as a welcome gift, which was thoughtful. Very quit area. Super comfortable bed. Responsive host. Many good amenities. We stayed in this apartment when visiting Grand Teton National Park (the drive from the apartment to Grand Teton was scenic!). Highly recommend."
