I'm not a totally picky person, but I can get pretty anxious about wanting to control everything and "run the show." From the beginning, Chad and the event center staff were very communicative in the process of quotes, contracts, and booking. We were able to have a wonderful wedding at a completely reasonable price, which is nearly impossible in the area. All-inclusive is the way to go! Did not have to worry about a thing. The only extras we had to pay for were cake, photographer, flowers, and smaller things that we wanted like guestbook. The day-of wedding staff was AMAZING. I do not give compliments lightly. I grew up in theatre and they were like the most perfect stage managers any cast or director could ask for. I did not have to worry about a THING. Even the things that I forgot, I just asked if they could do (like I decided not to change for my send-off because I was having too much fun), and they did it with the most efficiency and grace. I cannot say enough good things about them for day-of coordination. Planning a wedding was still stressful (obviously), but there were so few things I had to worry about before because of their comprehensive bridal packet. During, I literally felt like my most trusted companions were taking care of everything with the same care I would give. The food was incredible. Guests were raving about the food and drinks. We requested steak and different sides, and I can honestly say it was one of the best meals of my life. Then, they packed up the leftovers for us and we got to enjoy them all over again the next day! The owner has Disney event training, and it truly shows. They have weddings down to a formula without everyone feeling like they followed a formula. Our wedding felt unique and our own. We're very grateful to the owner and staff.

I wish that I could give this venue A THOUSAND STARS!!! Chad, Kendra, and their entire team are…read moreabsolutely amazing. I can not thank them enough for everything they did for our big day. They made us feel so special and so effortlessly happy. We felt like royalty!! I mean they took care of EVERYTHING you could possibly imagine for you!! Even things I didn't think of! On top of that, the venue is just perfect. It's beautiful and they make it so easy to really bring your entire vision to life! Not to mention.... THE FOOD! The food is outstanding! Every single one of our guests came back to tell us how lovely the evening was, how beautiful the venue is, and how delicious the food is!! I HIGHLY recommend this venue! **big plus for us too was that they made sure we always had a drink if needed AND they packed up food and cake for us to enjoy after and the next days! We appreciated that SO much because my husband and I really didn't have the time to eat all the food in the moment!!**

After 15 minutes we get the wine. Again, it's maybe 2 tables of people. We get our 3rd appetizer over 60 minutes later. We ordered another bottle of wine, the most expensive, along with 3 more appetizers. The appetizers came out a little quicker. It took us 30 minutes for the check and to get the card back. It's a Friday, there is a cover band and it got pretty crowded. My problem is, there were 2 people serving and one of the servers, our server, is now bartending! There were 2 other people when we got there, who I assumed were the owners. 2 people can not handle a Friday night crowd on their own. Service was sloooooow. Atmosphere and food were very good. I actually felt bad for the servers. Shame on the management!

The Castine Center is a unique place. Located inside Pelican Park, it serves as the administrative…read moreoffices for the park as well as a multi purpose facility available for rent. I've been there for gun shows, fundraisers, school functions, and most importantly, the recreational league team draft. Northshore residents who live in Recreation District 1 pay property taxes to fund the park, the center and the improvements to the area. Being able to see where those dollars go actually makes me happy to pay those taxes every year. The Castine Center can be rented in sections or as a whole. Depending on the type of event it can be super fancy or super casual. There is a large parking area out front that can accommodate pretty large crowds. During the team drafts for recreational sports we have the place all to ourselves. Even though I've been there for many different events, I really enjoy the team drafts. We have the place all to ourselves as we sit around picking teams and laughing at the super competitive coaches trying to relive their youth. Most of us are there to help teach the kids and have a good time, but some of those people are serious as if it's the NFL draft. If you're looking to book an event, or have any business with the park, check out The Castine Center.

The building is actually located in the back of a really big park. There's a sign that you follow and you drive down a winding road and there you are. The venue itself is nice- there is plenty of parking and the room is really big with a stage and enough space so that you don't feel cramped. The staff that was working was good at picking things up when needed and keeping things organized. I had a good time at the event that I attended here and I would recommend this spot if you are looking to host a party.
