Refuge is an amazing place in the Troy community. I've attended events there and rented it to host workshops for my company. It's spacious, warm, clean, and inviting. The energy of the space is...everything.The owner, Tara, is the absolute best. Easy to work with and super creative when designing our experience there. We have even done a photo shoot at Refuge and in the backyard for our company and for a client. The new renovations (including the galaxy mural on the ceiling!) are gorgeous and inspiring. I can't wait to be at Refuge again!

My husband and I had an amazing time at our joint 30th birthday party at Refuge. Tara was friendly and easy to work with right from the start. She was super responsive and we were able to choose a payment plan that worked for us based on a few options. She was also very helpful in finding the resources to get a permit/insurance to serve beer and wine at the event which I would have been totally lost on how to pursue otherwise. Her space is absolutely beautiful and adaptable for any type of event you need. On the day of the event she greeted us and helped us with any small issues that came up (getting more tables, figuring out WiFi etc) but she wasn’t overbearing in the slightest. Our guests were thrilled by the accommodations and it was great to have both indoor and outdoor areas. We would highly recommend Refuge and would happily utilize them again in the future.

From beginning to end the process of booking the venue went smooth. Everything was explained about setup & breakdown. I love the additional rooms & outback set up. My 40th turned out beautiful, would definitely Recommend to family. Thanks again!!!

Absolutely wonderful space for events! The energy is bright and lovely, and we had a great time. The space has many delightful additions that I haven't gotten at other venues (or at least, not without paying extra hand over fist) like a disco ball, high quality bluetooth speakers, and an extremely cozy loft! I cannot recommend this place enough. The owner is very professional and helped address all my concerns in a timely manner. I'll definitely be renting event space here again!

This is an unparalleled gem in Capital District. It was the perfect find for our intimate wedding ❤️ It was so refreshing to enjoy an event space that has a creative layout and all the party essentials, including the phenomenal Chatelaine Tara who helped us stitch together our dream day! We and our guests had such a great time, I booked it again the following year for a birthday party.

I attended my first workshop, of many to come, and it was an incredible experience. The owner, Tara, has created a wonderfully welcoming, vibrant, and inclusive environment. The group this space and workshop attracted was made of kind and contemplative women that made this experience even better! Can’t wait to come back!

The space is cool. The owner is not. It’s unfortunate.

I 100% recommend Refuge ! I began taking classes there over the winter and it quickly became the highlight of my week. The space itself is cozy, whimsical, and I must add smells incredible! Tara, the chatelaine, is just amazing. Her kindness, transparency, and willingness to make a session work for all bodies is admirable and makes Refuge a safe space to let loose or dance like no one’s watching.If you’re thinking of attending a class or having an event, Refuge is the place !
