Had my bridal shower for 40 people in the Platinum Room on a Sunday and I have no regrets. It was…read morewell lit and spacious for me to take pictures and greet guests. We had so many compliments about the food especially the penne vodka, salmon, eggplant and potatoes. They even packed a few trays for us to take leftovers home. A handful of reviews said they clean up before your time is up and it's like they're kicking you out but we had no trouble while we were cleaning up until 4pm (event ended at 3). The only issue that came up is we had guests fill out advice cards and staff had thrown them out. My bridesmaids rushed to take a few pictures of the advice cards that were left so I could read them

I say this because as it seems lately all we hear about is the death and despair we face as a community. There are a few people who's compassion and willingness to help others restores my faith in humanity. Matthew 25:35 says, For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me. Lystra Lennard and her staff at Venue 518 yesterday did just that as the bible says....... She welcomed and fed people in her community yesterday, no matter what walk of life you came from. Her selfless generosity set an example that as a community together we can help one another persevere. Our first responders, health care workers , grocery clerks, police , and fireman are all heroes in my eyes , but so are the leaders of our community who's feeling of empathy and commiseration feeds our people that are truly in need. So for that I say "Thank You Venue, Lystra , and the volunteers" you are an inspiration that together we shall overcome. #NJSTRONG

If I could give this place ZERO, I would…read more My sister is having her first child and is due in a few months. She wanted to have a baby shower at this Venue. Unfortunately, because of the current Covid Pandemic, we are not able to have the baby shower. It's MANDATORY. So, we called the venue, assuming that they would understand the circumstances and asked them to refund our deposit. We would have NEVER cancelled. We printed invitations and everything! We HAD to cancel. The result, well, they said they can't give us our deposit because we agreed on that date already but they are more than willing to move it to a later date. IT'S A BABY SHOWER. The UNBORN BABY is not waiting for this Covid Pandemic to go away. She's due when she's due! My sister is upset enough not being able to spend any time with family and friends during a time that's supposed to be wonderful. She's afraid of the risk and harm that can come to herself and the baby! And now she has to worry about not getting her deposit back! A $500 deposit is not a small amount!! And then, they kept saying it's "corporate"s decision. Is this a chain?? Don't you have insurance on your business?? I don't understand. The last time I checked this was a privately owned business. I personally booked an event for this weekend, and had to cancel and when I called the venue I was using they gave me my deposit back immediately. They said they understood the situation. I didn't even have to ask!! And my event wasn't for a baby shower. It was just a regular party. I also called in the beginning of this whole Covid thing, when events weren't being forced to be cancelled yet! I am so upset for my sister and this place in my opinion is HORRIBLE. She's not choosing to have this happen. Have some decency!

I guess the owner loves the piano a lot? The service was very warm and friendly. The dinner was typical: salad, dinner rolls, penne vodka, chicken francaise, beef tenderloin tips. Everything was tasty, but a little bit on the salty side. The highlight was the dinner rolls....they were so good!

Classy!!! Great venue to host 50 people for an Anniversary Party. They also had a larger room, but…read morethe smaller room fit 50 people perfectly (no dance floor in small room). There was another party going on in the big room, but it didn't interfere with us at all. Plenty of parking in the large parking lot. The bar is lovely (but I will add: there were poor reviews for the house white wine and the Bloody Mary). That is literally the only negative. Food was excellent. Everything else went smoothly. Many people commented how great of a party it was. Kudos to Michael, our event host, who was very attentive and professional. This Venue sent us a box of cookies in the mail as a thank you for booking with them. You don't see things like that anymore!! Highly recommend.

I can't express in words what a wonderful place Primavera Regency is. Usually an event venue can…read moreonly hit the mark on one thing: the food, the ambiance and decor, or the service. Primavera hits all three in every way and they go above and beyond with it. Michael and Edwin were both so lovely to work with, and everyone else that works there is so kind, attentive, and truly care about their guest's experience. Anyone that has ever been here knows the food is next to none -- every single thing they make is high end restaurant quality and that's not easy to do in a venue. The venue itself is so pretty, Venetian style and recently updated. The landscaping outside is immaculately kept. They really know what hospitality is here and they treat you like family, this venue is a gem.

Drifting Back to Lions Roar for Sure!…read more We ended the night at Lions Roar Brewing in Westfield and what a way to cap off an evening. The service was excellent -- friendly, attentive, and on point all night. The craft beer selection had some real creativity on tap. We were disappointed to hear the mango brew had run out -- that one sounded like a winner -- but the Mexican and lime brew more than made up for it. Bright, flavorful, and refreshing, it was a great pour that kept us coming back for more. But the real showstopper of the night? Drifting Back. This four-piece band was absolutely exceptional -- tight, talented, and packed with great tunes. They had the room in the palm of their hands all night. If you ever see them on the schedule here, don't miss it. A minor gripe about the sold-out mango brew aside, this was a fantastic night out at Lions Roar. We'll absolutely be back.
