I had the opportunity to attend a wedding here after at least a decade since the last one I…read moreattended . This place is in a sketchy neighborhood, but the grounds are beautiful! I love the bar they've built and the functionality of it is much needed. The grounds, the stage, the landscaping were all superb. Most of the employees were friendly, especially the security guard outside of the establishment. Now with the issues I encountered. First, we were one of the first tables served food, but also the last. A friend of mine waited for his beef option for about an hour after the first plate was set on the table. It seems like a free for all with servers setting down plates just wherever instead of a calculated effort of table by table, ensuring everyone is plated before moving on to another. The bartender was a bit harsh at one point when I overheard someone ask her what type of whiskey she was serving and she harped out "We don't have any name brands here!" Which, I'm sorry...for as much as the couple shelled out for access to their bar, having some name brands would've been nice ‍ Overall, this place is nice. It's quant and very intimate. The dance floor was pretty as well. Definitely give this place a call if looking for an intimate location for your next event.

I'm not even sure where to begin because this place is now more than just another venue to us. My…read moredaughter was married at NH November '23. The entire experience was perfect. Every detail was attended to and even some that we hadn't thought about was perfected by the owner and her excellent eye for detail. We looked to NH for the reception location but due to renovations taking place at our church, we were there for the ceremony as well. That wound up being the best outcome, even though it was not our original plan. I keep seeing people trying to do so much of their wedding DIY. NH will help with every detail and in the end you will have a wonderful even and lovely memories. DIY details added to all they had to offer, but I can't imagine doing everything. They give great advice, but make sure to have your own assistance outside the venue to help organize. NH is an event venue and there is a limit to what that entitles you to. I believe other posters are expecting someone to consult with for every detail and that is not what an event venue is for. They certainly tie it all together in the end but it is your party to plan. Everyone was very professional and organized. There are many items to rent and have available. They have great vendors to recommend. The DJ was amazing and every detail made this a dream wedding without breaking the bank.

The bed was super comfy and we even caught a Back To The Future Marathon on TV :) This room was a corner room just as our previous stay (in room 404) but this room's view was much better. It was right on the front corner of 18th & H Street. The sunrise was spectacular! My favorite is the jetted tub. It's super relaxing for a great "staycation" It's really cool and fills from the ceiling. Put on a Padre robe and relax! The best feeling after a long day! Can't wait to visit again hopefully visit the bar and restaurant next time.

We hosted the graduation party for my three…read moredaughters on 5/31/25 on this god forsaken place, where to start, the venue was given to us with no attendant, our guests were seating in the dark because we didn't know where to turn on the lights, one of our guests had to figure it out, the AC never worked and again one of our guests had to get on the roof to try to get the AC unit work, then we found out that the steal the electricity from the building next door. The lights on the sides if the hall don't work if you try to bring down the lights everything goes pitch dark. We were told we could use the bar area, but it was filthy disgusting, there were larvae (worms) all over the counter and sink area,. We had to sanitize as beat as we could just to get by, the kitchen area is not a kitchen is a filthy warehouse not suited to hold any kind of food, the health department must be unaware that they serve food, by the way our dinner was supposed to be served at 5pm and they were barely setting up by 6pm, the food tasted decent but the guy and girl serving couldn't be any slower, we hired servers to take the food out to the tables and they had to stand and wait for minutes in order to get a few plates. Don't get fooled by this people, they faje your money and promise excellent service but what they offer is only disappointment, take your money elsewhere Party City Rentals is a fraud.

Found a couple of mason jar style candle holders in the bar area and in the bottom...you guessed it, dead bugs. Near the drink well, in one of the bottle holder sleeves, dried fruit from lord knows how long ago. Then there were the water glasses that were on the tables as part of the set up. No water, just glasses. Probably should have called them glassware instead. No ice machine on the premises, and no way to fill water glasses since they did not have pitchers available. A real deep cleaning and some upgrades to the work area would make this place nice. It has the built in cosmetics and atmosphere to be a nice venue for small weddings (under 150 or so) and other special occasions like birthdays or special event dinners. Sadly, they just do not seem to be willing to invest to make the place nice, let alone great. It just kind of stinks. A solid renovation could make it a real gem. Assorted notes: Not great parking, refrigerator cold box was broken and the wedding planners were not made aware, air conditioner is more like a swamp cooler, not sure if there really is HVAC or just evap cooling.
