If I had read the previous reviews while looking for a place to host an event, ,I'd move right along and search for somewhere else to take care of my rental needs. Who wants to deal with a Banquet Manager who seems bothered that you ask questions regarding the space? Or have to inquire more than once to come in and look around ? Ridiculous. As a long time employee (15+ years), Ive asked previous managers why there wasn't a price sheet and was told it wasn't my business. Fast forward to 2019. A group of Veterans called BULLSH#@ on how things were ran and were able to trim the fat and get rid of those who were not performing and bring in people who had ideas and ethics and weren't afraid to make changes and stay late and come in early. People who cheerfully pick up the phone and answer any question a potential renter has and is able to tell them what the cost would be with no hidden charges. People who know what, at the end of the day, Acker-Moore's intention is: to serve the Veterans, their families, and the community. I'm proud of my employer and the people I'm fortunate to surround myself with. Our membership has grown tremendously and with a larger membership comes more hands that are willing to help get things done, not just at Acker-Moore, but in the community The last 3 years have brought a lot of updates to the building as well: remodeled bathrooms, new floors, fresh paint throughout the building. The grounds are beautiful in the warmer months with the addition of flowers and trees and shrubs and benches. Give our Banquet Coordinator, Fallon Whitacre, a call at 330-618-8529 for any of your rental needs.

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.

The wedding area was also very dark. When the appetizers ran out, they refilled the dishes but attendees sitting further away didn't have a clue. The dinner food was dry, cold, and tasteless. In addition it was so extremely hot, people didn't want to dance and went outside to get cool. Lastly, I was one of the first to arrive, I am physically challenged and all the handicapped parking places were being used.

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..... Learn from my mistake, do not get married here please.

I asked the cashier how much it was and she stated $17. I decided to look around the Farmers Market first and get the Tote on my way out.

When I got home, I looked at the receipt and saw not only was the Tote a dollar more, but a $3.60 tip was added after I said No. I like the Tote but I do not like being ripped off.
