The pastor came in to marry Tammy and Craig and it was so beautiful and the hall was so beautifully decorated. The food was so delicious and an open bar. It was the best wedding I've ever attended and it was so beautiful for two well deserved people. The catering staff was impressive! The Champagne Chicken was so delicious I wish I had the recipe. This Hall is really special and I hope the word gets around as the place to have an amazing party or evening event.

The ceremony got out early and people showed up to the hall early. So the people working the bar decided to open the bar early. Wow what a nice bunch of guys to open the bar early. So 830 comes around and the bar closes and the bride and groom are told that they not only have to leave by 9 but all decorations have to be out. Even though they rented the hall until 10 and said they would pay for the extra hour because the ceremony got out early. People got angry as you can understand. The DJ had to stop playing music an hour early and the wedding had to end early. I will no longer support any Elks Club because of the way this place is allowed to operate.

My husband and I had a small budget for our wedding, but wanted to find a place we could celebrate with about 75 people that would be close to our neighborhood. I had made all of the arrangements with Pat, the Manager of the VFW, and she was a really nice older woman who helped with the contract and getting the caterer set-up. I think we paid about $300 to rent the hall for 4 hours, and we put a deposit of $250 for the cash-bar, which is refundable if your guests spend at least that much through out the night. There are also hooks all along the walls that you can use to hang things for decorations, but there are limitations on what can be put up, or taken down, since it is a VFW. The hall is surprisingly nice (I didn't know what to expect for a VFW) and there is a small stage at the front for the DJ. They also provide standard round tables, rectangular tables, and chairs for events, at no extra costs, which was super nice. There was a good size bar at the back of the hall, with reasonable prices for drinks, and a small kitchen that the caterer could use to prep for the wedding before hand. The only thing I wish was that the hall could be entered from the front of the building instead of the back, because the front entrance is quite pretty, but the back entrance leads to a darkish hall-way that smells of cigarette smoke permeating from the bar downstairs. Once you are inside the hall, though, everything is great, and the price can't be beat, since it's close to public transportation and has plenty of parking in the lot out back.

I'd like to know who the reviewer below spoke with as I am a veteran and a full-fledged member of…read morethe VFW. I know the commander well and neither he nor the bar manager (who both process applications) would ever say something like that. They welcome all new veterans with open arms and, unlike the last commander, have instituted a policy of paying your dues if you're still serving. We also do NOT have a family and wife chapter. There is a Ladies Auxiliary and Associate Membership. EDIT: Better late than never edit responding to ST, There is no one in our front office named "Paul". This was brought up at the meeting held after I saw this review as well and there is no Paul on the Board of Directors or in any command/leadership position that is ever in the front office. Furthermore, they are not working to bar non-pro war groups from marching. The first review smacks of some sort of troll/wank. I am female, a veteran, a full fledged member and I attend meetings and am part of the voting process at this post. And I have to say, I'm pretty pissed that this crock of BS is still on here.

Ten minutes after we arrived multiple summer camps came into the arcade (approximately 200 kids). The kids were not well supervised. They were running around crazy.

There was about 60 kids gathered around the counter pushing, shoving and cutting in front of people.​ There were no adults trying to keep things organized. At the time there were 3 cashiers behind the counter. I asked to speak to a manager. I told her they should have one of the cashiers for customers who do not come with the camps. A day that started out fun for my grandkids ended up being very disappointing. They didn't get to redeem their tickets because of the kaois. I will never take them back to Ryan'
