I came here quite a bit in high school (many years ago) for various events like homecoming and weddings and it was decent, but always had an old feel or seemed out of touch. It was also way too dark. Fast forward to today and you can tell they've poured so much time, attention, and money into renovating this to be a modern, classy, and really fun place to be. I was actually really pleasantly surprised walking in the door for the first time in 10+ years and seeing a beautiful ballroom complete with modern luxurious chandeliers, a beautiful dark wooden dance floor, and a modern bar and wooden accents around the room. The food was freaking delicious (I personally had the pork tenderloins and they were fantastic, served with some of the most flavorful zucchini I've ever had) and also had great presentation. The drinks were great, and from the limited interaction I had with staff, they seemed friendly and helpful. All in all, I'm really excited to see the positive changes made here! Super impressed and would definitely come back again!

Disregard the reviews older than 2018 as they just completed a multi-million dollar renovation after being added to the Ascend group of hotels. My suite had been completely redone top to bottom including new plumbing fixtures, heat, furniture as well as floors and walls. The staff for our event were superb. I normally don't bother to write reviews but in this case I decided to take the time to thank them for helping make our event go smoothly for the weekend. SW

Roy T. July 1, 2025…read more We chose the Konig Maple Lane Event Center to host a gathering after my wife's Funeral Mass. We estimated that we would have about 100 friends and family members attending to share their grief and celebrate Karen's life. The space was perfect. The food was excellent. The service was outstanding. Rena was so helpful and easy to work with. She even fixed my wife's favorite desert, which wasn't even on her extensive menu. We highly recommend the Konig Maple Lane Event Center without any reservations. Thank you Rena!

Where to begin with Rena- we checked this place out for our celebration of life for my brother (18)…read morewho committed suicide. When we first met with the owner, things seemed really awesome $75/hour (clock starts when you start setting up) they provide tables, chairs, a screen, and clean up (not shabby) or so we thought. We paid for 7 hours - $525. One rule about this place is if you have your event here you cannot bring in food, you must get food from her. We thought, wow that would be great - set up, catering and clean up, what a neat place. After first meeting Rena stated that we needed to pick a menu from her items. It's regular general items - so at first we picked the celebration of life "usuals" (pulled pork, salad, fruit, cookies, ice, and some cheese trays) we estimated about 150-200 people. Rena first quoted me $1800 - $2,000, I've never planned anything like this so I thought - okay, sounds good. We agreed and I thought we were good. 2 days later, she called and left me a voicemail at 9:30pm stating I needed to call her back. Upon calling her, she said "I just cannot do this for $10/plate what you want is going to cost $3,500 -$3,800 + 5% tax and + 30% gratuity (she said 15 at first but when we did the math, it came out to be about 30), she also said that at that price, we would only get 150 plates and when the plates were gone, even if there was food left - that was the end of eating for our guests. I thought to myself, kind of strange to count plates and then throw away food (seemed wasteful). I'm not a caterer by any means so idk maybe this is how it works. I said I wanted a quote in writing to get a second opinion bc again, I know nothing really about this business. After some research, I learned that her rules of counting plates was something more for like a sit down dinner, not for sandwiches and finger foods. So I declined and we decided to cut way back and said - 150 people worth of cheese trays, sausage and cookies/bars + ice - she quoted us $750 which included the tax and gratuity..or so we thought. The event was super successful, we ended up having 450 people stop through (not everyone ate) and we noticed that we had run out of food pretty early but thought oh well, bc we were having a dinner at Vince's later. Rena took it upon herself to set out 2 regular bags of Tostitos and salsa later on. Extra food and charges were never discussed with us during the event. Fast forward 6 hours, I'm at Vince's with my family and I send a family member to the event center to pay Rena, upon arrival she told my family member that the total would be $1800. $1050 more than what she quoted us. My family member didn't question it bc she thought the event center fee was included and she wanted to do a nice gesture for our family considering the circumstances. Not until later, upon questioning everyone (mostly to thank them) I found out that the bill was now $1800!! Rena indicated that because we ended up having so many guests she had to (allegedly) prepare so much more food (cheese, sausage and cookie trays) and she claimed she provided drinks (which we did not ask for) even though we brought our own. These 'extra' items were never discussed with any of us, no one was ever told that it would be an almost double charge of the original quote, just because of foot traffic. When we questioned how it became so much, she sent an updated very non specific/detailed "invoice". When further questioned and reminded of our original contract and quote she proceeded to send (imo) a very rude email in response. We already paid her and we're too sad to argue with her. If I would've known she was going sneakily overcharge us I would've just passed on the "food" all together. It's really too bad because the center and space is really great and it did meet our needs but the lack of details, the egregious upcharge, and rena's general demeanor is truly disappointing. I wouldn't recommend this place.

The light fixtures are beautiful and it's a great example of how rustic farmhouse is done well. There are plenty of areas to take photos - water features, hallways, anywhere in the pavilion and outside. It's stunning! Service was very quick, maybe a little too quick for my liking but it's fine. You start your dinner with a salad. I thought it was delicious - I was worried that it was going to be soggy since it comes dressed however it was great and not soggy at all. My fiancé and I tried the filet mignon and bacon wrapped chicken for our entrees. Both were very good and prepared well. For sides there were seasonal vegetables. The drinks here are made strong, tip your bartender - they do a great job!
