Everything from the first venue tour to the decor, set up and clean up, amenities, customer service, etc., was amazing. I booked a decor package and the place was designed so well.

And affordable…read morefor my moms surprise 60th birthday (as i was doing everything alone ) the owners are super professional and answered any and all questions I had! Via email or in person ! .If you want to support black woman owned business this is the place for you not only do they offer tours regularly but this space is very C L E A N everyone at the party couldn't get over how spotless the space was down to the bathrooms! Also very straightforward contract nothing hidden everything is in plain black and white no hidden or unnecessary fees you would find at other halls. I also loved the fact that you can rent different linen and decorative services that you can add on before you pay! Don't hesitate and book EARLY I booked in December 2023 for this June 2024 party! Dates go by quick! (obviously because of how amazing this space is ) I mean what place do you know you can get two rooms for the price of one AND full kitchen access ???

Great location, very convenient right off 695. The have classes 7 days per week so you're sure to…read morefind something that fits your schedule. Many of the classes are taught by independent instructors, not employees of the facility, so you may have to stop in to get information on the specific class you're interested in, but if you do you'll get to see first hand how nice the facility is. Beautifully decorated with lots of room to move, this is a great place to learn. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because the rooms aren't soundproofed very well. I take a Sunday morning class, and we often hear the music from the main studio, which can be distracting. Most of the time this isn't too big of a problem, but sometimes it makes things a bit difficult.

"Ballroom Bootcamp" on Fridays and the group lessons during the week and before every dance are very inexpensive and a great way to meet new people at your own level while learning. I've found the instructors friendly, helpful, and very professional. The weekend dances are great fun, too! There are dances Friday & Saturday nights, and a Sunday Tea Dance from 1:00 to 4:00.

The building is in the Tudor style but has lots of medieval accents, which I found to be interesting. There are several vintage pieces and artwork for sale at affordable prices on display throughout the building. I was super excited about that and purchased a couple of pieces to take home with me. The rooms are very cozy and the mattress/pillows/towels are such good quality. And to top it off, breakfast is solid and hearty. They also know how to host an event. Decor and the setting in the garden was lovely. Already plotting my next visit here.

The only reason I gave a 4 out of 5 was because I would have liked a little bit more communication as we got closer to the wedding date. Maybe some insight on what to expect the day of not just a call to confirm my guest count. That alone would have helped my anxiety levels the day of the wedding. But other than that the times I have called to ask questions, they were helpful.

So, I got to check out the grounds around the main building before the bride and groom arrived for rehearsal. They have a wonderful wandering Garden with Fountains and water features. I could sit by a loud water feature for hours. The wedding was in the garden, but the facility had prepared the Veranda in case the rain didn't clear up. In addition to the new main structure, they have Historical buildings and Summer camps.
