However, at $600 the Orchid Room is very expensive and is very limited in how you are permitted to decorate. We unfortunately had to cancel our event and requested a few butterfly house passes to use another day since we were out the $600. They said it was not possible. So be very aware of the 90 day cancellation policy and the very limited decoration policy.

So where should you go when you have a special event and want great food, a helpful staff and a…read morebeautiful and unique setting? The answer is 100% The Clifton Barn. I planned my wedding in about a month and a half and The Clifton Barn pulled it off flawlessly. Comparatively to other venues, it's in the middle ground as far as pricing, however they do not charge a facility or staffing fee, (almost) everything is built in, so that's definitely a bonus. \ We had our wedding in late November, but a spring/summer/fall wedding can be held outdoors on their beautiful patio with a really cool fire pit. (we had our ceremony inside in front of the fire place and it was great) They have a really cool lounge loft that we did our first looks in and those pictures were my favorites. We had 60 for dinner, I'm sure you could go higher, but it was a very comfortable number for us especially since using the patio as part of the space wasn't really an option. The dinner was awesome, it is owned by the same owner as Strip next door, and I highly recommend the steak. It's also nice because Old Avon Village has two restaurants for rehearsal dinners and lots of parking and photography options.

Just make sure everything is the way you want it and be prepared to do extra work to pick up her slack. However the food is great. I think it's chef Erik? He was wonderful. The ambiance is beautiful. And overall, you will have an incredible experience there.

This used to be the Irish Heritage Center but was bought by Ahern's and renovated. The top…read morepriorities for me when choosing a wedding reception site were: 1) convenient location for my guests, 2) classy, comfortable space, 3) really good food (it's really a glorified DINNER party, isn't it?!?), and 4) competent staff. Ahern's is all of these things and they made our reception this past February truly fantastic. Lucy is the no-nonesense, very capable manager. She essentially served as our personal party planner before and during the event and took care of everything, communicating with the other vendors (DJ, photographer, florist, etc.) and making sure the party continued to progress so we could just sit back and enjoy our guests. Aherns is their own caterer and can do either a sit-down meal or buffet (or cocktail reception) with almost endless entree options. We went with the buffet and an open bar so guests could enjoy as much or little as they wanted and it worked perfectly. I think we were pretty low key but did have a few special requests and they were professionally executed by the staff. There are two banquet halls of different sizes but they have separate entrances and bathrooms and a service hallway runs between them so you wouldn't even notice if another event was happening during yours. The halls are already very elegant so we didn't spend any money on decorating other than flower centerpieces but the space could certainly accommodate any over-the-top additions you might want.

I visited for the first time in mid-November 2024 on a Saturday morning. I had never heard about…read morethis tennis center before so I was so excited to check it out. A friend invited me to come play group tennis with her because she has been loving coaching with Coach Aziz since April 2024. GROUP TENNIS DRILLS: The way the class works is that the coach will tell the group what to do. He will start off by feeling the ball to one person (long or short ball) then the group plays doubles. I had so much fun playing tennis with Coach Aziz. I arrived about 10 mins late but I was still able to jump in and play. There were 5 of us ladies on the court so only 4 are playing at a time. But, since we played drills, the 5th person just rotates onto the court every few minutes. It was a very fast paced class which I loved. We all moved the whole 1.5 hours while Coach Aziz gave us tips/lessons. He is super funny and makes the session so fun. Playing a sport recreationally should be fun and not stressful. My tennis racked grip is super old so I bought a tennis grip tape the day before from Target. Once I got to the court, Coach Aziz made a funny joke about how old my racket was because it isn't even designed anymore (LOL) so I was given a newer racket to use. I did not use mine...haha. Individual tennis lessons are also available and you can pick which Coach you want to work with (see my attached photos to this review to view the coaches). While my friend generously paid for me, I think that a group lesson is $25 for an hour. The lesson I attended was an hour and a half though which still cost around $25. If you forget your tennis racket, you can lend one for free (at least, I never paid for the one that I borrowed). I will MOST definitely be back because tennis is my favourite sport to play. **** GOAL of 150 reviews in 2024 - 122/150 total reviews in 2024 - 771 total overall Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 8 December 2024

The concept--part winery, part brewery--definitely intrigued us, and I'll say right off the bat: the service staff was truly fantastic. Friendly, attentive, and clearly putting in the effort to make guests feel welcome. That said, the overall experience was a bit of a mixed bag. The seasonal mixed drinks were creative and fun, and the fries were surprisingly solid. Unfortunately, the spicy chicken sandwich was underwhelming--bland, without much heat or flavor--and the buffalo chicken dip was just decent. With a pretty limited food menu, we found ourselves wishing for a few more standout options to round out the visit. To be fair, we didn't sample any of their craft beers, which could very well be the highlight of the place. But for a Friday happy hour at 5:30, the sparse crowd (just eight people, including us) made the atmosphere feel more quiet than energetic. I genuinely want to root for a local spot like this, and I admire what they're trying to build. But based on our experience, this feels like a one-and-done for us. I'm still giving it 3 stars , largely because the staff really did make the best impression of the night--and that counts for a lot.

It had less variety and square footage than the free city greenhouse, Rockefeller Gardens (stellar place!). My 8 yr old's admission was a joke because she declared it was very hot and stepped outside to the front desk and gift shop within a minute of stepping inside. Honestly, children under 10 should be free with the amount of interest holding them there. There was only 1 other separate room with some bonsais and a caged chameleon that was displayed in a way that was hard to see. In mid April, many flowers/fruits still weren't in bloom or already bloomed or I don't know. The conservatory itself only gets 3 stars in my opinion but the best part is actually the outer grounds and trails. The trails were great and we got to see all sorts of birds (blue jays, mallards, Canadian geese, woodpeckers, finches, etc.), squirrels, chipmunks, deer. The small garden area surrounding the butterfly cage was cute. We also saw the world's cutest dog there that I mistook for a rabbit--a baby French bulldog.

And I wanted to embrace the fall colors. But, I wanted a path that wouldn't be muddy. I made an impromptu decision to take my son and boyfriend to Miller Nature Preserve because I knew it would be dry inside the conservatory and from what I remembered, there were some paths along the building outside. We started inside, which is amazing on its own. We paid $2 per person to go inside and experience the warm humid climate and jungle like setting. Tropical plants are everywhere, along with some cactus and bonsai trees. It's a great place to go anytime of year, but I would imagine winter months would be very enjoyable here to warm up and see some greenery. Then we walked around outside in their garden areas, which is really pretty too. Not too much to look at this time of year as everything is transitioning to winter. We were surprised to find a gravel path that went into the woods outside of the parking lot. We didn't pay attention to the map posted at the beginning of the trail, as we assumed it would be a short path. Boy, were we pleasantly surprised and very wrong! We walked through the woods for about an hour. We didn't see anyone else on the path so it was quite magical. The trees were just starting to change and the sun would peak out from the clouds occasionally. At some point the path seemed to feel like we were on someone's private property, and we were very confused, but the garden area we came across was beautiful. All sorts of cool stones, a little pond, and millstones galore. Then we somehow ended up on the trail again, which ran next to a creek. There were benches scattered about the trail as well. I never knew these trails were back there! It was an enjoyable adventure and I hope to come back soon!
