I had the privilege of attending a "Bright Sparks Live" panel event, at Assembly, in the rooftop…read moreevent space. The weather was amazing. The event space is a part indoor, part outdoor roof space. Off the elevator there is an entry way with a bar type setup, and small area to gather and potentially have refreshments. There was plenty of space for the audience and panel. They have a projector setup for presentations and as far as sound, everything was great. This space would be beautiful for a rooftop Wedding or Birthday Party (they rent out the space to the public.) Beyond the rooftop, Assembly is a beautiful member only co-working space with office rentals, kitchen, library, meeting rooms and more. I am looking forward to attending other events thrown in this space, and potentially becoming a member. The view of Downtown Norfolk was too good.

I so cannot remember the owner of this place, but hopefully I took a picture of the card and posted…read moreit here. Nevertheless, this place is phenomenal!! I believe this place is fairly new, because I so remember something else being in this spot some years ago. However, I could be wrong, but let's focus on present day... I was invited to a 50th birthday celebration here last Saturday. I had a general idea of where the place was located since I am sorta familiar with the area being a native and all. But we arrived close to 7pm and everything was all set up. My friend advised us to arrive at 6:45pm because it was a surprise party for her husband... so we popped in and everything was in tact. Even the workers were on their post awaiting to great the guest and provide service. I especially loved seeing this! I don't know about you, but I have been places where people are still setting up or put the early arrival guest in a waiting area until the main area is set. Well not at 757 events, they were on point!! I can be long winded when writing reviews, but I like to give yall an experience and feel how I felt when I visited. Especially, since this is the first review... This place is really all the rage!! Not too big of a event space, but just the right size to entertain a group of 100 maybe more. But a few tables were set up along with a few cocktail tables... a club lounge vibe it gave. I believe the owner decorate the spot, so my friend gave a vision and it came to life last Saturday night. Another big plus... the owner catered the event. The buffet set up is away from the party people... I loved this!!! I didn't have to worry about smelling like food or even the venue smelling like food! The bar set up... another big plus!! I believe the bartender was set up through the owner and he was on point too. Even though he was a one man show, he kept the drinks flowing... no complaints, all smiles!! Now the parking lot is rather small. I did not notice if more parking was behind the building. But if you arrive early enough no worries here, as we did. Overall, this place is gorgeous and far as I can see ran properly and with love! You can tell whoever is behind this, loves what they do. I highly recommend you look into this venue space for your party needs big or small. Take care and enjoy life :)

Simply amazing! I found this place on Eventective while searching for an all inclusive party venue,…read moreI am so glad I did. I emailed them and was immediately contacted by Karen, the owner. She is such a joy to work with. For someone like me that worries about every little detail, I felt comfortable leaving it all to her. She is professional, kind and makes sure you are at ease during the entire process. I told her exactly what my vision was and she went ABOVE AND BEYOND. The staff that was there on the day of my event were also very friendly and professional. We loved the bartender. Most importantly, the food was delicious. Not one complaint was given. You will not be disappointed if you book with 757 events. They handle it ALL, food, decorations, liquor, DJ if needed. My husband had the best surprise party ever. I will book here time and time again. Thank you, Karen, and your wonderful staff!

The Garden was mentioned in a book that I'm currently reading "Virginia 100 Best Places to Visit"…read more According to the book the Garden is 175 acres of gardens. We get a membership annually and it is most certainly worth it. I love the many different gardens. You can walk the gardens everyday and find something new each trip.

I inquired. about the restaurant and was advised that they are hoping to open the restaurant in the fall.

The map that you are given is absolutely worthless. A single sided photocopy of an inaccurate map which fails to show the most obvious and prominent landmarks in the garden makes navigating almost impossible. They are obviously spending millions on expansion and construction, but they have failed to make any effort to provide accurate and useful map for people who visit. My wife was using a walker and has limited endurance. Having been led astray by the abysmally poor map, we were at a loss as to how to return to the parking lot. Fortunately, a frequent visitor gave us the guidance we needed that the map failed to do.

Our waiter, Jimmy, was attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely enjoyable to talk with--a true professional. The view was superb, and the room itself felt warm and cozy.

For anyone considering joining a club, this one offers many wonderful aspects that are well worth looking into.

My cousin is a member. I enjoyed the Norfolk Jazz Fest from the outdoor seating area. When we…read morefirst arrived, they were accommodating changing our seats from at the wall to next to the window. No one came to take our drink order once we were seated. 10 minutes had gone by and then one of the hosts came by and told us they had a table for us outside which was a nice treat. Again, sat at the table for about 20 minutes before a waitperson arrived to take our order. We decided to give drink and food order right when we had her attention. We told her when we wanted the appetizers to come out first. They had a popcorn snack that we weren't even served until we asked about it. The food arrived all together. Despite the pace of the service, the food was beyond delicious! It was a New Orleans themed dinner and it was amazing. The last disappointment of the evening was when we ordered another round of drinks. It took us over 50 minutes to receive our drinks and had to not only remind our waitperson but ask 2 other people. I suggest they hire the appropriate number of staff (bartenders, waitpeople etc) to handle the volume for a special event. I'm not sure about how the other patrons felt about the pace of the service but for this to be my first impression as a guest especially when my cousin is a regular who comes at least twice a month, it was not what I expected. I will be back and will hopefully have a better experience.

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.

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.

I found the fall festival to be really cute and great for photo ops. I really enjoyed each of the different sections of the farm. Decided to get on the monster truck before leaving (9/10); it was my first time riding in/on one and it was pretty fun. To ride was $10 per person. All of the staff members were friendly and made light conversation. I can def see myself returning especially since they also have a Christmas tree farm and a restaurant on site.
