She not only set the tone for our guests upon arrival but she also doubled as an MC for entire event. Start to finish she knocked it out of the park! We had guests complimenting her style all night and even had people requesting her information for their own events weeks later. So yes, she's THAT good! Highly recommend for any event big or small.

Wharfinger Building

As an administrative assistant at a local high school, I plan annual events for my students at the…read moreWharfinger Building, and have always had a pleasurable experience with the City of Eureka staff who are responsible for its operations. The rates they charge for events are very reasonable. Reaching someone from their office is always fairly easy and they get back to me very quickly, whether I'm using email or phone. I book the Wharfinger for a winter dance at the end of each January. Staff provides me with a layout of their venue along with a list of the furniture items they have available for my use. I then create a layout design using their template explaining what tables and chairs I would like to utilize and where I would like them placed. I usually take a group of students with me to decorate the venue about 5 hours or so before our event is set to begin. Staff always has my requested layout design ready to go, allowing me to just show up and decorate. I opt to pay a bit extra for use of the kitchen facility. I put all drinks and perishable items in their industrial refrigerators, giving them plenty of time to cool before the event, alleviating the need for me to deal with ice. One less thing to do while chaperoning! There are small hooks around the ceiling trim of the building, which makes it very easy to string up lights. We are allowed to tape items to the walls as long as we use painter's tape, and we are also able to string up lights around the patio rails of their back deck. This allows us to create an ambient atmosphere behind the venue overlooking the water. Students often enjoy taking breaks from dancing and hanging out on this patio area to cool off. Staff on hand during events are always incredibly helpful, and assist me in anything I need. Explanations are very thorough when I'm signing off on forms at the end of the event, and they make it very clear what is expected of me during cleanup in order to get our security deposit back after the event. Staff has also been happy to let me borrow a ladder or an extension cord if I needed one, and it's wonderful to have employees on hand in case I have any questions or needs that arise. This is a hassle free venue that I will continue to use year after year.

Let me just start off by saying this is a BEAUTIFUL venue. We absolutely loved having our wedding…read morereception here. Everything turned out beautiful, it was a fun space, lots of parking, and super affordable. My wedding was straight out of a fairytale...except the hall manager. Our whole experience trying to rent this venue was a bit difficult. The hall manager we worked with was extremely scattered and stand-offish. Unfortunately, I wish I would have seen these as red flags. After a magical night, we returned the next morning with a crew of 20 to help us clean the facility. We took all of our trash to the dump and left the facility looking better than it did when we arrived. We did leave something there accidentally, called the hall manager and arranged to meet her there to pick it up. When we arrived (exhausted from cleaning all morning and returning rentals all day), the manager proceeded to accuse us of breaking two carts (both of which my caterer notified me were broken before our rental of the space), being "thoughtless and disrespectful" and overall "terrible people". She then proceeded to yell at us for moving the stage lights (something we were unaware were separate rentals and did not come with the facility rental), not sweeping the bathrooms because there was two quarter-sized scraps of clean toilet paper near the ground (which we did sweep every room before leaving!). Oh, and the piano is apparently supposed to stay on top of an ill-fitting scooter (a serious liability) which in the hustle and bustle, our group of guys took it off the scooter, thinking that was the safe and appropriate thing to do. Anyway- long story short, she continued to complain about how she doesn't get paid for this job, how we ruined her day, and how we were going to "pay" for all of this (we did not get our $300 security deposit back, which is fine) The security deposit is supposed to cover things like that, so it really was inappropriate to threaten us and make us feel terrible, when the security deposit is meant for this exact reason. So, I would say just proceed with caution when renting this venue. If you can deal with a demeaning and scattered hall manager, then go for it. It really is a beautiful venue.

Great breakfast. Presentation is very nice and I love that they don't use any disposable plates…read moreand cups.

Paloma Celebrations

Then I called Paloma celebrations and luckily Simcha answered immediately and helped me figure things out. She understood my plight, and was quick with ideas and potential solutions. Even though her schedule was jam-packed around this super busy time of year with weddings & graduations. She was able to fit us in last minute. She & Sierra were really easy to work with and super flexible. She created signature drinks based on the alcohol that I provided. And also came up with fun nonalcoholic drinks for the kids. The Paloma vintage caravan comes with a cute little seating area that my family loved. Cute chairs and a carpet along with the caravan, which really makes the party feel special. DEFINITELY creates a celebratory vibe. It added so much to our small celebration. I highly recommend hiring the Paloma, you will not be disappointed!! Other things to note: Fabulous service, something really special for parties, they provide all the cups/glasses.

They helped me come up with our drinks list, names for our custom cocktails, & were quick to respond to me anytime I had a question. Our guests RAVED about the bar the entire night, telling us how delicious the drinks were, how cute the trailer was, and how sweet the ladies of the Paloma were. They even took some photos throughout the night which they sent next day, it was such a sweet surprise! We would recommend them and the Paloma to anyone and we will definitely hire them in the future for any parties we have. We loved the Paloma!
