We were very happy with the brand-new renovations as well as the open space inside the Deanston House. The buffet was set up on one end of the room and there were plenty of tables to choose from for our party. For only $9.99 per adult & $4.99 child, we had our choice of coffee, ice water, a variety of bagels,make your own waffles. And assortment of amazing fresh fruit, eggs crispy bacon meatballs , potatoes, chicken and and rice with mushrooms and a amazing French toast apple crisp. Our waitress was very accommodating and again the food was hot and tasty. So if you find yourself waiting in line on a Sunday morning next-door when I come around the back and enjoy a amazing quick Sunday brunch with soothing music as well to set your mood for the rest of the day. Everybody seem to have enjoyed their brunch and we are making plans to come back again soon thank you very much.

This was my first time at the Alumni Center. I think UCONN did a great job with the Sports Museum,…read morelocated on the bottom floor. Had I not wandered around the building, I would not even have known it was there, and am curious if the museum gets decent visitorship. The museum shows the various successful sports stars who started at the university and the sports trading cards they made it onto. The Alumni Center is a very basic facility overall...I guess it holds meetings and events in different rooms. I'm definitely glad I visited, but it'd be nice if it had a display for former students that publicly won awards or accolades, or starting featuring certain successful alumni and their stories (outside of sports). The school could definitely do more with the main area of the facility.

Let me start by saying that Marx Entertainment provided both DJ services and Photo Booth services…read morefor our wedding. We were very unhappy with the DJ but happy with the Photo Booth set up and staff. My husband and I had DJ Craig for our wedding in September 2023. We had two meetings with him beforehand were we discussed how we would like the night to run. In addition to a list of "must-play" songs (something we were encouraged to complete), we discussed how we would like our table-dash, anniversary dance, alumni photo, and private dance to operate. We also noted on multiple occasions during both calls that we DID NOT want a lot of remixes. Unfortunately, we were disappointed with how DJ Craig managed all of these aspects except for the table dash and private dance. Here is where our issues lie: - Out of our 30 or so must play songs maybe half were played. - As laid out on the Marx Entertainment website we chose a "last song" for the dance floor. DJ Craig played the song we designated as our last song as a way to open the dance floor. - The first 30 minutes were exclusively remixes and bad ones at that. It got to the point where we said something to DJ Craig, and while the music did get better, he still continued to play remixes. Honestly, a Spotify playlist would have been better. - The anniversary dance was something DJ Craig suggested and we loved the idea. However, instead of doing what he had described to us where he starts calling people off the dance floor after some dancing and starting with short time increments, DJ Craig called for anyone married for less than 5 years to leave the dance floor after approximately 20 seconds. People hadn't even REACHED the dance floor to start dancing at that point, including the parents of the groom. Not to mention we are a young couple and that kicked more than half of the people off the dance floor in one sweep. - College alumni photo was announced at a very weird time and very rushed. Just felt awkward - We were immediately asked once the lights turned on to provide a positive video review for DJ Craig. This was extremely uncomfortable and we gave dishonest feedback during it. We would NOT recommend him. Like I said previously, the Photo Booth staff was excellent and we loved the book they made us. We also had no issues with booking or prior communication with Marx. While the set up and logistical execution of the event went well we didn't feel our opinions were considered at all in song selection and that the fun mini-events we had throughout the night went poorly

That's exactly what you hope for in a party planner. indeed, it was weird to just "show up" at our event. All the details were taken care of. There was nothing for us to followup on and she was there the whole night to make sure things ran smoothly. All we had to do was have a good time. Let me also state the obvious: Nancy's services are not the cheapest. BUT, you do get what you pay for which is outstanding service, terrific followup, and a partner for your event. Strongly recommend her for any wedding or mitzvah. Amazing indeed.
