I am not very religious but in these unprecedented times of uncertainty one can look deep amongst…read morethemselves to find comfort. I say this because as it seems lately all we hear about is the death and despair we face as a community. There are a few people who's compassion and willingness to help others restores my faith in humanity. Matthew 25:35 says, For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me. Lystra Lennard and her staff at Venue 518 yesterday did just that as the bible says....... She welcomed and fed people in her community yesterday, no matter what walk of life you came from. Her selfless generosity set an example that as a community together we can help one another persevere. Our first responders, health care workers , grocery clerks, police , and fireman are all heroes in my eyes , but so are the leaders of our community who's feeling of empathy and commiseration feeds our people that are truly in need. So for that I say "Thank You Venue, Lystra , and the volunteers" you are an inspiration that together we shall overcome. #NJSTRONG

I went to the TGI Fridays location in Freehold for this activity. I was really surprised of how fun…read morethe experience was. I'm far from creative or an "artsy" person, but I decided to give it a shot anyway. I'm glad I did my friend and I really enjoyed ourselves. I purchased the Groupon tickets for $25 then went to the Paint nite website to select the date/painting I wanted to do. In the spirit of Halloween, I selected pumpkins!!We arrived about an hour early to eat dinner first ( not required to participate, but we wanted to.) After dinner we walked to the back dinning room where the session was being held. This area was closed off to nonparticipating customers so it felt more like a closed group activity, and less like an open spectators' sport. Lol once we signed in we ordered some wine a started painting. The instructor was very good. She had a great personality. She also broke down each step and explained it to us so that we could clearly follow. As you paint your little heart out there's a mix of upbeat music playing throughout the session. We really had a great time! I'd highly recommend this experience if you're looking to spruce up your social activities. You could even go solo and you'll still have a great time. I'll definitely be going back!

Where can I start , my wedding took place this past Saturday the 8th, my husband and I booked this…read morevenue a year ago , I did my research online prior to booking and read the great reviews, we visited the lake house and fell in love with it. Since the very beginning we did not get a good vibe from the housing manager Sally. Her attitude was dry, careless and arrogant. But I chose to look beside it because I really believed this venue was the perfect place to make my rustic themed visionary wedding to life. I can basically say I reached out or called sally maximum 4 times for help with questions because I did not feel comfortable approaching her with her dry attitude. All this woman talks and brags about is her husbands job as a CEO of a drug treatment program , big shit. Now lets start with my experience on my wedding week PLEASE READ THIS PRIOR TO BOOKING WITH SALLY, SO YOU CAN BE AWARE AND NOT HAVE THIS HAPPEN TO YOU My fiance paid the venue in full three weeks before the event , Sally told us many months ago that if in the occasion that the night before our event , the venue was not booked we may go drop off our equipment and decorate the day before. Three weeks ago Sally verbally told my fiance, wedding planner, and I that we may decorate on Friday since it was not booked nor she believed it would be with such short notice. We are super excited and relieved that we were able to decorate the day before. On wednesday August 5th I called Sally for last minute questions and reconfirmed our arrival on Friday to drop off & decorate , Sally responds" Oh i am sorry an architecture business meeting/reunion will be held Friday you can no longer come to decorate" " I am sorry for last minute" .... ok so when was she planning to call me to tell me this ? Secondly, Sally continued to tell me that I can still drop off the decorations and store them in a room , on Friday August 7th between 9:00- 1:00pm Friday August 7th : My family and I load up 3 cars , and drive 1 hour and 10 minutes to arrive to the lake house and NO ONE IS HOME. I call Sally and her voicemail states she is off and away August 7th, 21st - 30th . Thank you Sally for causing me a stress overload the day before my wedding. Very irresponsible of this housing manager to do this. I could not believe my eyes, I emailed her and recieved no response to this day!!!! Luckily a woman drove in that very moment, by the name of Mary Anne, which rents office space in the second floor , she opened the door for us and allowed us to store our things in a room upstairs. Mary anne and Dan were very helpful , and provided em with the care takers phone number Mr. Haas who I contacted later that afternoon to request for premises to be cleaned prior to my event. The caretaker was very helpful the day of our event and made sure everything was found clean and left cleaned at the end of the night. The last thing a bride or couple should go through is a stressful moment due to the venue in where we have paid so much money to have our wedding take place. I believed in this lakehouse and Sally's work ethics. I never would have imagined to have such a terrible experience. In addition to this she was not present the saturday of my event either. Neither did she request a copy of our bartenders liqour licence certification after driving us nearly crazy for this months before. What kind of unorganized , careless woman do you have running your business? Please look into this matter and please reach out to me, because I know this venue is owned by the city/county and not privately owned by Sally. There has to be management over her and I very much wish to be contacted I would not take my time to express such a long detailed review if I did not feel so disgusted by my terrible experience with this manager .

My wife and I recently had our wedding here in May. Our wedding day was amazing and are happy we…read morehad it here, but getting to that point took a lot. Let's start with the positives: It's beautiful, accessible, and reasonably priced for the location. The caretaker was accommodating a sweet. The scenery and unique setup of the house lends itself well to true photographic artists. Now for the negatives: There really was only one negative aspect of our experience, and that was Sally. She was fine to start with, but two weeks before our wedding told us that we could not have our caterer use his smoker on the property due to it being a fire hazard in a nature reserve. This would have been understandable had she, and the fire marshal, not already approved the use of an open fire pit on the property. Naturally this confused us and we tried to sort out the issue with the marshal ourselves. Long story short, she was being untruthful, was not up to date on the codes, and really just didn't want to damage the grass so she passed the buck to someone else. She was also very intrusive while we were setting up, and rude to everyone until she realized we had hired event planners with us. We would recommend this establishment to everyone, everywhere, save the detail of this woman being responsible for facilitating the event. Be cautious when booking with them, and get everything in writing well in advance.

Would 100% recommend them and will definitely use them again next time we cater an event.

Iron Man and the "long haired Princess" arrived just before they were scheduled (awesome!) and gladly waited upstairs for the start time we discussed (we were waiting on a few more guests to arrive). When they entered the party they immediately engaged - the kids LOVED them. We sang, did some trivia, played games, and each stayed in character perfectly. Sing Along Princess Parties made our twins' dreams come true. The memories and pictures will surely last a lifetime.
