From wedding venue to baby shower venue, the sycamore is always our first choice when looking for a…read moreplace to celebrate. The venue is stunning and it hardly needs any decorations to feel complete. The gorgeous brick wall and string lighting steal the show. It's a perfect open floor plan with space for over 200 guests. The kitchen is tucked away in the corner providing an industrial sink, microwave, ice maker, and fridge/freezer, making it easy to store and prepare food for your event. The bar also includes a beverage cooler, bar sink for washing glasses, and plenty of shelves for storing alcohol. The venue is always cleaned, bathrooms always fully stocked, and tables and chairs provided by Cynthia making the planning process such a breeze. Cynthia is a dream to work with. She is super communicative with times available for picking up and dropping off keys. She provided us with a detailed walk through of the venue before our event, letting us know how to turn on lights and ac/heater unit. She let us know where to find everything we would need. She was so generous with time to set up and break down for our event both times that we've rented with her and we couldn't be more appreciative and happy with our experience each time. I'll always recommend this venue to anyone looking.

We have rented out this hall a few times for family events!

Also stored in the kitchen are the tables and chairs! Hall has clean restrooms for guests and temperature control. Thank you to the owners for letting us host our events!

My girlfriend threw her daughter's first birthday here. The setup is pretty standard for a hall --…read moreit's not the largest space but it can hold (I'm guessing) 250 people comfortably. There is a nice bar area in which hosts can set up an open bar, and a stage for a DJ setup. My girlfriend had a dessert stand and there was plenty of room to set up all the fun decorations that come with a backdrop. She even had a taco vendor set up outside so it's nice to know this banquet hall honors outside vendors with the assumption that insurance requirements are met. Parking is very limited for guests and when it fills up (which it will), there is street parking but watch out for posted time limits. Considering how loud we all were, it's safe to say that you can host your next party here without worrying about noise restrictions.

What an awesome hall to have that special event. We had our sons baptism this past Saturday and it…read morewas amazing just perfect. Our event, the venue and all around interaction with everyone involved was the best. The owner and staff was remarkably professional, helpful very easy to work with I can't say enough good things about the staff. Our event was awesome everyone loved how the hall looked we got so many compliments. This place is a very affordable venue hall holds 150 ppl but can comfortable seat and hold many more. Has a full kitchen w/warming trays, huge fridge, AC, private and street parking, raised stage, draped ceilings, tile floors, bar, another fridge here and ice machine. The only flaw I find is there's 2 single stall restrooms 1 men, 1 women other than that everything was perfect for holding a small event. We really didn't have major restroom issues although I say we ended up with around 200 people at our event. There were times it could be a bit of a line not too bad though. This would not detour me from leasing this hall again and again. You need a deposit to book, they do require 2 security guards and are very open to allowing you to set up a day before if the hall is not booked that day. They also do all kind of rentals you may need for your event at very affordable prices. We ended up renting tables and chairs from them. The owner of this venue also owns the party store across the street so they just bring anything you may want to rent or buy right over. They make balloon garlands at the store too although we ended up doing our own garland. I highly recommend this business all around 5 star service and experience. The only thing I would like to add is the need for a bigger AC unit and/or an additional large electric cooler (they have 1 already). We had our event 7/13/19 and that day was 100 degrees I believe the hall was cool when we got there and then it was just super hot. Which is normal I know with the door constantly being opened and as more people arrive plus the speakers from the DJ and so on. I do feel there is a big need for an upgrade. Hopefully the owner will considered addressing this area because inside the hall got to be pretty unbearable. Other than that this hall is perfect.

Mother Nature had another plan though. On the week of the wedding we found out it was going to pour rain the day of the wedding so our entire plan had to change just days before. I was devastated to say the least. We were so frantic trying to find someone to pipe and drape for us, but the ones we reached out to were either booked or so expensive. Our DJ pointed us in the direction of Events by "E" and I am so glad he did. She went out of her way to make it work for us and at such an amazing price. She was able to completely pipe and drape the entire music hall and transformed it into the most beautiful room I've ever seen. She even hung lights for us in the bar. It was MAGICAL to say the very least. I wanted to bawl my eyes out when I saw it. It was so pretty. I cannot recommend her enough! She had great communication and flexibility. I am so thankful for her!

I know it seems I've been hibernating. I think this has been the longest YELP dry spell for me…read moresince I began my YELP journey. I feel the start of a Comedy, 2 weddings and a graduation will be the title. Our latest adventure was a wedding for one of hunnie bunnie's co-workers. When I heard we would be going to the "Commander's House" on Rough and Ready Island in Stockton, I had a tough time finding any information. And what a shame that is. What a beautiful location, tucked away in the Port of Stockton. This was actually the Commanders home at one time. Story has it that the Navy sold the land to the Port of Stockton for $1.00. If that is true, what a bargain! And this was before our current economic problems. The house is located at the end of the Lyon's Golf Course, which we didn't have time to explore, but was beautiful. Although you can see all of the cranes from the Port in the background, you can maneuver yourself to avoid having them in your pictures. The event we attended was held mostly outdoors, but the house would have been beautiful, with a little work. (They need to put up some decorations, the walls were bare. And the bedroom upstairs that the bride and her entourage used didn't have a stick of furniture or even a mirror. I would have brought one from home, if I'd only known.) One of the local restaurants provided the catering (YELP review to follow) and DJ provided wonderful dance music as we danced under the stars. A few suggestions for future/prospective brides: 1/ Set up some nice chairs upstairs in your dressing room and some folding tables for your belongings. 2/ Ask if lights can be strung from the trees if your event is going to be held after dark. It's really hard to photograph in pitch black darkness. 3/ Decorate the stairwell, it's a majestic backdrop for any bride http://www.flickr.com/photos/12568072@N05/collections/72157619034039566/ PS. Here's the only place online that I found any information on the Commander's House. Not to mention, this is a pretty funky wedding website.
