The Royal Plaza Trade Center is a large auditorium-like space that is gigantic, right off Route 20…read morein Marlborough. It is used for all sorts of large events, parties, shows, festivals and more. It's located right off I-495 and is roughly 50,000 square feet, so it's a huge auditorium. The only other spaces I can compare it to throughout the Massachusetts area are the Shriners Auditorium in Wilmington and a few others I have been to years ago that forget. This specific auditorium has a wonderful set up, well off the major highway, with lots of parking, lots of well used space and a complete loading dock for events in need of that. The facility is well maintained and a perfect place to use for large events. Staff who manage it are wonderful and in general, they respond to concerns quickly and effectively. I helped host two conventions here and experiences that we had here were great. 5 stars for the Royal Plaza Trade Center.

My brother chose this place as their wedding venue for a small wedding of 40 people. It's a cute…read morespot, but heed this warning, if the manager or whoever Kim is supposed to be is still in charge, she will treat you with the most lack of hospitality. After the outdoor ceremony the family was taking photos by the alter. A few guests made our way back to the barn for some waters as it was a warm day. We sat on the patio outside waiting for the rest of the guests and Kim came outside and exclaimed "there's a table of hors d'oeuvres inside that's going to be thrown away in a half hour if nobody eats it." First of all, incredibly rude to say to guests waiting. Second, how could you be so wasteful for something you've already been paid for? We then walked ourselves back across the field to now inform the bride and groom their food was going to be thrown away if nobody went to eat it. My cousin had her reusable water bottle taken away from her because "no outside drinks were allowed." Even though it was 85 degrees in the middle of July, and the didn't set the water out for people to get themselves. You had to go to the bar, where they then served you the smallest cup of water possible. When people made their way inside, the food was consumed, cold meatballs that seemed to have sat out the entire duration of the ceremony cold. Not just the half hour duration of cocktail hour the guests missed. Plates and cups were cleared literally immediately, DURING each phase of eating. Which was incredibly wasteful for guests not being able to reuse their plates. Wait until the end of the "meal" (cocktail hour, dinner, dessert) to collect items. Or place a trash for people to dispose of when they're ready. In any case, once dinner was served (buffet style) each individual tray had its own server. Kim, watched over the shoulder of the gentlemen slicing the prime rib. You were only alloted one thin slice of meat, and when asked for a second, Kim literally said no to guests, to which the poor gentleman slicing exclaimed, "but we have a whole second one out back.." Nope. Food rationed like it's a famine. Then the dessert table was set out, and my brother went up to get a cookie and once again was yelled at by Kim. To review the food, I would give a 3 for quality. The vegetables were okay, typical for serving in bulk. The chicken marsala was edible, the fish was gamey, and the prime rib was grisley. The dessert bar was cookies, ice cream, waffles, and toppings. You were not able to scoop your own ice cream, and the scoop used by rhe server was about the size of the table spoon, so that's all you were allowed. It's the only picture I bothered to take because it was just comical at this point. The manner in which guests were treated was so incredibly poor I cannot recommend enough that people steer clear of this place unless she is no longer there. All the other staff members were incredibly sweet and just trying to do what they're told, so I do not pin this review on them. The lack of hospitality from Kim was embarrassing to anyone who serves in that industry. Venue: 5/5 - cute, quaint, spacious for gatherings under 100 guests Food taste: 2/5 Food portioning: 0/5

The chocolate cake was great and the cheesecake was ambitious and interesting but a little too much goat cheese for us. The service was attentive, prices were reasonable and the atmosphere was perfect for a relaxed dining experience. This is seriously great dining in Marlborough.
