Breaking news: this place does Bridal Showers.
My mom had rented this place out for my sister's sweet 16 back in the day, and I used to go to Zumba here, but I never considered it for a more formal sit down event. This weekend, I discovered another hidden gem for hosting Bridal Showers, which as many of you know, has become about 1/3 of my social calendar these days (the other 2/3 being weddings and bachelorette parties, naturally).
Space
-It's a large space with a parking lot in the back. Dark red curtains, and a wooden floor. There were maybe 6 tables of 10 organized in a semi circle in the middle of the room, with some tables for gifts at the front and a throne for the bride, and three large tables in the back for food.
-The entrance is by the parking lot, not the street, so signs may need to be put up for guests unfamiliar with this.
-A bar area was set up with sodas and lemonade. I think the hosts can bring their own alcohol if they want (but it's not provided by the venue, so unclear if they'd serve it or if it would be a self serve situation).
Food
-Food was catered by the venue and very good- simple and delicious pasta salad, potato salad, penne a la vodka, caesar salad, and make your own sandwich situation with turkey, ham, corned beef, roast beef, and salami, lettuce, tomato, and mayo.
-Dessert was delicious too-mini brownie looking things that were actually (suprise!) chocolate mousse cups, mini cheesecake bites, profiteroles.
Great spot to host an event! This particular one was 12 to 4, with a half hour alotted for cleanup before and after. read more
