Every conversation, every touch point, every interaction was top tier. No phone call went unanswered. No text message missed! Just top tier customer service. I didn't walk into a space needing it to be cleaned. I didn't have to keep asking unanswered questions. The entire process was seamless. If you're looking for a space that offers you more than building, chairs, lacks customer focus, dedication and care for clients... This is NOT the place for you bc Kisha Lee provides all of this with precision. It was such an honor to host my PRE BIRTHDAY BASH at your venue! Thank you for absolutely EVERYTHING!

Love, love, love the Historic Obici house! This old home that belonged to the Planter's Peanut…read morefounder was on the verge of being demolished but Mr. Roundtree who runs the Sleepy Hole golf course stepped up and helped to get it renovated and turned into a restaurant and Pro shop. Since the location is out of the way, the restaurant being open to the public as a regular restaurant didn't work out but now it is open for special events (you can find them on their website or Facebook page), parties or weddings. I miss being able to just go there for dinner, enjoy the view and the beautiful house but understand why they had to change the operation. The food is worth the price, the staff is friendly and they are happy to show off the restaurant and allow you to walk around and check it out.

I have mixed emotions about this review since on one hand I was glad to see that the Obici House…read morewas saved, while on the other hand, I didn't like how it all happened. I don't like that they tore down the detached Carriage House that was also on the property. The House is beautiful and unique with history. I am perennially disappointed with the golf course and I have been to only one function in the House since it was restored. The food was nothing remarkable and the service was even more non-descript. I don't know what they charge for functions there, but I thought that maybe they would have improved the surroundings a bit more to accommodate the status of the Obici House, the surrounding out buildings, clubhouse, 18th hole and driving range. It looks like they did the bare minimum to the house. I don't want to tarnish this review too much since I haven't been there for an official event within the last year. I noticed that they are having an open house soon and I plan to check it out and update my review. I would recommend that if the price seems to high for your event, then pass on Obici House until you start seeing better reviews on the service and food.

Before I begin this review let me start off by saying that this review is based solely on my…read moreopinion and my opinion alone so with that being said let's go!!.. This is the second time we ( my wife and I ) have visited this establishment, the first for a wedding party and last night was a birthday dinner party. Each time was delightful and the building being well maintained. The structure is modern and up to date with all of the state of the arts equipment you may need to celebrate any function! I would recommend renting this place out, there's plenty of space to move around with plenty of parking out front as well as the back of the building.

Awesome venue. I…read morehave heard only amazing reviews concerning this venue. Well this past Saturday, I see why... this place is an awesome! Spacious, plenty of parking and everyone in attendance (wedding reception) raved about how they loved the venue too. I am not sure how long this venue has been in existence, but I travel nearby all the time and had no clue it existed. Well now I am in the know, and I will definitely keep it in mind when deciding on venues from a variety of upcoming events. I am not sure if the venue provides food/beverage, but they do allow one to bring in food and beverages... which is a plus. Looks like the office hours for this place is daily except Sunday... open until 3pm if you have questions or concerns. So if you're thinking about a venue to house/seat 200 guests or less consider this place. Have fun and enjoy life :)

They could make this place more fun if they wanted to . Like the morning should be more relaxed for those who want that , mid day should have like a Dj . The bands were ok but a Dj would be so much better. They should offer more interaction with games instead of just cornhole. This is not a kid friendly place really other than the pool . For the price of entry there should be more to do than just lay out and order food in my opinion . The food was good , I ordered the peeled shrimp and rounds of the frozen paradise punch . All in all it was a good day.

Easy access to bathrooms. No outside food or drink is allowed but they have a decent lunch/snack menu and drinks there. We got there around 11 on a Sunday and it was relatively slow so there was a lot of chair availability and we got chairs right next to the water. For drinks we had beer, pina coladas and water bottles. Lunch was the summer salad with crab cakes, calamari with their amazing sweet chili aioli, hush puppies and the BLAT sandwich. Decent food, good atmosphere, would definitely come back!

The main common areas were empty because I think Gather is closed on the weekend? It's a nice and convenient location to take CPR classes if you're located in va beach. But it's not Gather that holds the actual CPR classes. Also it's nice that the building is secure. You can't enter unless you have a key.

I can't recommend The Fred enough. We held our wedding here in September 2025. It's nestled in a…read morequiet, cozy area of Ghent, and we loved the natural gardens for our photos. Their pricing was also perfect for our tight budget. We felt so lucky finding this gem. Eleise was wonderful. She always answered emails or made herself available when I wanted to visit the venue twice more after signing the contract. We had just under 50 guests, and the space worked beautifully for the romantic and intimate setting we wanted. We had an outdoor ceremony and used both the indoor and outdoor spaces for our cocktail hour and reception. The only thing I wish had been different was being allowed to set up a little bit the day before. I was told it wasn't permitted due to past negative experiences. We were able to rehearse our outdoor ceremony the day before, but didn't have access to the indoor space. Because of that, there was a lot to do on the wedding day, and my crew simply didn't have enough time to get everything done. That wasn't The Fred's fault, I should've delegated things a little better and asked for more help. Looking back, even a couple of hours the day before just to walk through the space with my planning team and place stickies around the place explaining my vision would have helped tremendously. Just something to consider when choosing your venue.

I wish they can do something about the landscaping because It looks like big bushy weeds growing everywhere but I'm sure that's part of the "look" For the inside there are 2 floors you can make use of that includes a kitchen on the first floor. The center itself is spacious and for what I needed it for, it fit the need. The place is dated and could need some major remodeling.
