While we might have otherwise been put off by that requirement, Powerstation proved themselves to be so fantastic from Day One that we didn't mind one bit. Their prices were fairly reasonable for the quality and extent of the services they provided, and considering how critical a DJ is to the success of the wedding, it was well worth the investment. We were fortunate enough to have Jon March as the DJ for our June wedding, and we could not be happier with the job that he did. Leading up to the event, we asked for so many specific and particular requests, and he didn't bat an eye with any of them. Basically everything we asked him to do was executed flawlessly. He had wonderful energy for our crowd and was not afraid to have fun! We loved getting to plan with him and have him with us for the entirety of our wedding day. Jon's positivity, passion, and friendly demeanor were evident from start to finish of the wedding planning process and even well after the big day was over. From our secret surprise choreographed dance piece from "The Artist" to gracefully clearing out the entire reception room for our own private final dance to making our ceremony music go off without a hitch, every single element of our wedding went smoothly thanks to him. We cannot thank Powerstation enough for doing so much to make our day perfect!

The playlists that we spent a significant amount of time creating and shared with our DJ beforehand were largely ignored. We also contacted Powerstation after the wedding to provide detailed feedback and give them an opportunity to address our concerns. It has now been three weeks with no response. Unfortunately, based on both the service we received and the lack of follow-up afterward, we would not recommend Powerstation or Mike to other couples.

Matt and team did an amazing job (as usual) Everyone raved about the roasted pork, lemon chicken, roasted veggies, roasted potatoes, not pictured are the tossed garden salad, pasta salad (not GF), antipasto tray, and cheese platter. I put it GF crackers as well. Everything was perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection. The caterer who set up was so nice and professional. She quickly set the trays in the chaffing dishes and asked if we needed anything further. We use Beckers for all our catering needs and will continue to do so.

We were in a big room with a bar off to the side, a big central area for the dining tables, podium and speaker, and a big alcove off to the other side for the buffet dinner stations. Dinner was terrific- salad and pasta and potatoes and fish and chicken and vegetables and two carving stations. Dessert was a big slab of vanilla ice cream cake with a chocolate crust and chocolate syrup drizzle. The servers and bartenders we encountered were all very professional and pleasant. I spoke to our group member that organized the dinner and was pleasantly surprised at the very reasonable cost for our meal.

I called, they gave me a quote and several days to decide. Once I decided, they send me a contract through email and I mailed back the contract with the check. The place is amazingly beautiful. The room was decorated very nicely. The staff were all very young, probably high school students and greeted us outside in the cold. Once everyone was inside, they service our food. The scones were delicious, tasted home made and the jams and creams were equally tasty. The sandwiches were okay, a little dry but the deserts were just as good as the scones. My only beef about the whole experience was that they used Stash tea bags for the afternoon tea. I mean anyone could buy those tea from the supermarkets. If you go to a place designated for afternoon tea, you would expect at least some loose leaf teas allowing the customers to smell, appreciate, and enjoy all the different tea flavors. If they had loose leaf tea, it would elevate the whole experience ten fold. Also, they had some sort of punch on the side, with no explanation and the punch pitcher did not work so guests couldn't really enjoy it until the very end. The house can host two parties, one on the second floor and the other one on the main floor. The owners live in the same building. There are plenty of parking at the house and also across the street because the owners own that too.

You can tell from the moment you walk in, the building has been here for a long time. It's in good condition considering the age. Once the nostalgia wore off, it was disappointing. Some of the employees were amazing. A few were ill prepared and had bad attitudes. The food was adequate at best. There were roasted potatoes which had no flavor, roast beef which also had no flavor, and Chicken Francese which was OK.

First, the place clearly has not been updated since what seems like the 80s if not earlier. It clearly has the same motif as back in the early 2000s and same basic setup. Not good for a place that tries to market itself to business people in the area who are decision makers at companies. The event was a seminar style setup but they used round tables. Clearly no idea on how discussions work as a good amount of people had to either sit with their back to the speakers or strain to see what was going on. The power situation in the room is bad. A few plugs scattered around the periphery of the room but no consideration for people who may need power during the length of the event. I thankfully packed my own power strip and got there early so I was able to snag a table with power relatively close by, but that was me taking the step knowing the deficiencies of this location. The coffee service was ok. Breakfast was ok. This is not really on the facility but on what the host for the event ordered. Basic fruit, yogurt and some sweet breakfast breads were the continental breakfast that was advertised. No toast, rolls or anything that was not sweet, which was slightly odd to me in a setting full of older professionals. The real failure here is the lunch service. I've heard of rubber chicken conferences. This took the cake. They served "airline chicken" or an option with a pesto cream. Disgusting! I would not pay $1 for the main course of lunch. The chicken was a rubber ball like consistency, severely overcooked, and had no flavor. The pesto cream version was no better. Frankly, they needed at least a salt and pepper shaker on every table for the missing seasoning, but of course they only had that on the buffet line when you wouldn't know of the need for seasoning. In 20+ years of going to seminars, this was the worst chicken I've ever had. The salad was ok and some veggies were ok but the potato's had no seasoning either. All in all, if this is the food the place puts out for a group of local professionals, then the place is in trouble. My recommendation if you are at a seminar here is to not pay for lunch and encourage your attendees to hit the food carts down the street or the food court 2 blocks down the road. The cost savings on no lunch can much better be spent by your attendees getting their own lunch elsewhere.
