In 2020, before COVID, my husband and I paid the deposit for this venue. COVID hit and we were…read moreunable to have our event. We were told we could not get our $500 deposit back because they don't give refunds. However, COVID was unexpected for everyone. They told us it would be good for up to a year but we had no event to have as we were not going to throw a random party. Recently, we were willing to do business with them again but they were not willing to honor or full deposit but half. We will never do business with these greedy people. I get business is business but I believe if you treat people well, you will get more business. My review for 1 star is because the venue is nice.

The owner was professional, knowledgeable regarding best ways to utilize the space and helpful with set up and breakdown. He was easily accessible throughout the process; available to answer questions via phone or email at any time. The price was extremely reasonable, providing inclusions not available at normal event spaces. Tables, chairs, sound equipment, warmers, refrigeration, security, all included. There also are additional perks for up-charge that are reasonable as well. We took advantage of the red carpet, uplighting and chiavari chairs. You can tell that deep thought was put into the creation of this space, from the built-in bar to the built-in lines to make draping easier. This was the perfect space to host our event and the friendliness and professionalism of the staff made it extra special. Our guest were wowed as they walked up to the door and floored when they walked in. Make sure you have your next event here!

I even put a deposit down somewhere else, but the space never felt right and I couldn't shake the feeling of disappointment. I kept looking... And then... I found Lights on Kent. The moment we walked in, my daughter's face lit up as you can see from the video! The space is stunning - bright and elegant even before adding decor. I knew right away this was our place. I cancelled the other venue immediately. It was the best decision I made in the entire planning process. Charlie, the venue manager, was awesome. He assured me I didn't need to overspend to create something magical. He supported me from start to finish, responded to every concern, offered creative solutions, and genuinely cared about us having a meaningful, joyful event. After the bat mitzvah, when I needed help navigating some vendor issues, he stepped up without hesitation. That level of support was priceless. Our guests were taken aback by how gorgeous the room looked and how special the atmosphere felt. If you're looking for a breathtaking space, flexible and wonderful people to work with, and a venue that truly cares about your event, Lights on Kent is it. I am beyond grateful to them for helping make my daughter's bat mitzvah feel as beautiful and special as it could. While I continue to have issues with a vendor, post-event, having their support has helped me process, helped me sort through the problems, and this level of support is above and beyond. Some places are just venues. This one felt like, and still feels like their on my team. Thank you LOK!

Beautiful Venue, Disappointing Experience While the James…read moreWard Mansion is undeniably a unique and beautiful venue, our overall experience was unfortunately disappointing. Leading up to our wedding, the owners were uncooperative and made the planning process more stressful than it needed to be. Since the venue claims that my concerns are unfounded and an anomaly of their 5-star reviews, here are the specific examples of our less-than-favorable experience: The week before our wedding, during our pre-event walkthrough, we discovered that the owners had made several cosmetic changes to the venue that were not communicated to us in advance. While we were notified of larger renovation changes, some major cosmetic changes were neglected--such as white-washing the exposed brick in the atrium area. This change, while likely done to expand the appeal of the venue, should have been communicated to a bride ahead of time and not discovered a week before the wedding. This lack of transparency was unsettling and frustrating. Adding to this frustration, the day before our wedding, the venue allowed us an hour to set up our chuppa for the ceremony. While my husband and his brothers were there, the owners stood with their arms crossed, watching them put together the chuppa, claiming my husband was damaging the floor (which was not true), asking for ID and proof of insurance, and generally exhibiting intimidating tactics. This added unnecessary tension during an already stressful time. The owners admittedly thought my husband was a vendor, but this does NOT justify nor dismiss their behavior and attempts to intimidate him. This behavior was unprofessional and left a negative impression on us and our families. During setup on the day of our wedding, our florist was placing flowers on the fountain in the atrium. My planner was called by the venue's coordinator and questioned about the flowers. However, at our pre-event walkthrough the week before, the venue had a representative present who knew that we planned to have flowers on the fountain and never mentioned that it wasn't a possibility. Lastly, the morning of the wedding, I paid extra to arrive early to use the bridal suite to get ready. The owners reside in the building next door and there is a hidden door between the two buildings. This access point leads to a catwalk directly outside the bridal suite. As we arrived and were getting ready with hair, makeup, and dressing, the owner came from his next-door residence right onto that catwalk outside the bridal suite. The owners were well aware that we rented the space that morning and should not have accessed the venue while my bridal party and I were in the bridal suite. After how they treated my husband the day before, it is easy to interpret this surprise visit as more intimidation by the owners. Most disappointing was the venue's response after the wedding. I asked my planner to arrange a time for me to directly discuss some of these issues. My planner was told that they refuse to address my concerns and feedback, claiming instead that my issues lie at the feet of her, my planner, and our caterer, and that their plethora of 5-star reviews speak for themselves. I, too, reached out directly to discuss these issues with the venue's coordinator and was met with the same resistance; my text message was ignored. This unprofessionalism and disregard for our concerns were extremely disappointing and added to our overall negative experience. Here is my response to their claims: My specific concerns are with the management of the venue and their treatment of us and our vendors. No venue should rest on their laurels of 5-star reviews and ignore a less-than-favorable experience by a customer.

They set up a stage for you and have plenty of colorful napkins to match your theme. They have all inclusive deals per person which I love and that also is with or without alcohol. They also have kind of like a balcony type area where if you have a DJ they can set up their equipment. Or you can have people go there who give speeches. Super great area. Next I have to harp about the food. I personally did no tasting here so I was just going on trust that the food would be good. For apps we got paneer pakora which were a huge hit. People are still raving about it! Also the malai chicken is delicious. For main the baigan ka bhartha (eggplant dish) was just as good as my mom's. Also the chicken tandoori is still being talked about too! Overall this was an awesome place to have our engagement party and if anyone is thinking about renting a space out with delicious Indian food... This is the place to do it!
