These folks care only about getting the money for the hall- no regard to the renters. Whether it is on the phone or in person- there is a tone of irritation and a feeling of inconvenience that they have to actually talk to a human being. Wanted to see the hall prior to the event- again- they were very put out that they had to meet us there- and actually did not show up until we called them again on the day to tell them we were waiting- "Oh, I forgot you were coming?" Really.... Want to rent the hall from 6 until 11- great- just make sure you know that you will not be allowed in a minute before your rental time- and if you drop anything off prior to your start time, they instruct their crew to throw it out- Seriously- balloons, candles in bag clearly marked- yep, they pitched them because they were dropped off 2 hours before the party and left in a corner of the kitchen. Game room is great- but check the quarter machine- it quit working half way through the party- no one to contact to fix this situation- which should have never happened in the first place if they would have just checked it before the event. Sorry- but as nice as the hall is- the folks are just too rude for us to ever recommend them. Just know going in- they are NOT easy to work with...

While the venue is decent, the owner is creepy. I believe that he lives there, he's always in his…read morepajamas or his boxer shorts no matter who's around... And he stays during your party and comes out before your party ends, riding his motorized scooter. Looking like he just woke up! It's embarrassing, and you're not allowed to come in to the hall any earlier than the hours that you rented it so forget decorating before your guests get there unless you want to pay even more money! He's not personable at all, he's rude, and his personal hygiene is lacking. I'm 100% sure that he lives there, I live right around the corner and his truck never leaves there. He's always on the grounds no matter what time of day or night, and he sleeps in the back room of the hall. Would not recommend, there's way nicer venues to hold your event without being embarrassed by the Hall owner.

They have a large selection of house wines as well as other brands. The server was kind but didn't seem very knowledgeable about the wine. All the dishes are enormous and meant to be shared. We shared the goat cheese with blackberry preserves and a Genoa flatbread and even with the three of us, we had a lot to take home with us. The duo and the flatbread were both incredible. The flatbread is actually two whole flatbreads and the dip was the size of a dinner plate. They were kind to get us an extra loaf of bread to go with the dip because we ran out. Their kitchen closed at 8 even though they were open until 9. That was about annoying because we considered ordering an additional dish but worked out fine since the dishes were so large.

In addition it was so extremely hot, people didn't want to dance and went outside to get cool.

She told the DJ, and photo booth we ended at 10 meanwhile I paid until 11. I was aware that the bar would close at 10, which would give more than enough time for dancing until 11. We were told we couldn't do our sparkler send off because we were too intoxicated and it would cause a fire, which by the way my husband and at least five of our guests were firefighters and it would have not caused a fire. Jill also called back up police officers after I sobbed and argued with her about staying until 11 pm, saying we were being rude and inappropriate to the staff. OH and to top it off, the day before my wedding she kept telling me we need to have the wedding indoors because it was going to rain. It was a light mist.....
