They did a fantastic job with our wedding in terms of keeping it organized and on point…read more The whole event flowed smoothly on the day of. We got lots of compliments about the venue and food. It seemed like everyone really enjoyed it. The pictures on the website are accurate and this is a very good facility for both the ceremony and dinner. We looked around town quite a bit and did not find a nicer venue. The chapel was surrounded by trees - creating a serene environment - and the dining area was a very elegant dining room with adjacent outdoor patio areas, bar and dance floor. The venue is high quality with a classic style and requires very little to no additional decorating. They will do any tablecloth or centerpiece upgrades, etc, for you. They also coordinate with the florist so you really have no venue preparation work beforehand unless you are doing something highly customized. The food was excellent and the portions were very generous which was a concern because you want guests to be happy and well fed. You do need to be aware that kids meals are not the same as adult meals, which seems obvious in retrospect. But, we didn't understand that until after we sent out our invites with RSVP's. I think it was an oversight on our part with so much going on. Luckily, the kids liked their meals. There are two types of wedding venues: 1) Venues where you rent a space and then do everything else yourself, and 2) venues that are more turn-key. Turn key places charge lower amounts for facilities but charge more for food and alcohol which you can't get from a third party vendor. That's the trade off. Prices around town just to rent a venue like the Julia Ideson Library for example are extremely high for what you get, so it made sense just to pick a good venue and have them do most of the work for us. AG is turn key. I think it evened out with what we would have paid to do all the work ourselves, so that was a big plus that we got a high quality wedding without having to attend to all the details ourselves. Otherwise, you have to rent chairs and silverware and handle all the little details yourself. Since the food at the venue was excellent, it didn't matter that we couldn't have it catered. The wedding coordinator on the day of was a big help and kept us from having to do event management on the wedding day. You will still have to hire a DJ, photographer, florist, minister and getaway driver, so there is still a lot of work to do for a wedding. All those people can coordinate pretty easily with the event planner, though. The wedding planner even took it on herself the day of to call the limo company that was picking us up and make sure it happened on time so the car was just waiting for us. Also, if you have a served meal as opposed to buffet, you will need to do your own seating chart and name placards. You will also need to bring in your gift card holders and small details like that. Just be aware. You'll likely have to do that anywhere, though. It was a great experience getting married here. Update: 7 months later, people still keep talking about what a good wedding it was. One out of town guest said it was the best venue she'd ever been to. I just saw Cody J's review and am confused as to what all the issues were. AG certainly does not warrant 1 star. That is somewhat bothersome to see your wedding venue get dinged by someone and have him say the venue was lacking when it wasn't. You do have to be really organized and understand what is going on to keep your wedding at a certain budget. There are simply too many options and variables that only the couple can make decisions on. You have to ask tons of questions. That is true basically anywhere. It doesn't seem like he knew what was going on.

DO NOT BOOK HERE IF YOU EXPECT GOOD CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!!!! They will get you in with a promise of all this help and then assign you a planner who doesn't answer for weeks!!!! Then you'll complain and they'll pretend to care again, get you a new planner who also doesn't respond for weeks!!!!! Then when you complain, they tell you to be professional. The staff here SUCKS. Only book if you're fluent in planning weddings or plan to use an outside planner. The venue is beautiful but WORST SERVICE EVER!!! And at about $30K!!!!!! DO NOT USE THIS PLACE. We get married on April 30, 2027. I will continue to update my review as time goes on, but I suspect it's going to get worse. The employees pretending to help us are Sydney, Kennedi, and Kimberly. Good luck if you book

Parking was a nightmare, it has a one way in, one way out with not that much room for parking. Leaving you to block people in & get blocked in. The venue is basically this huge 6 bedroom house, fully equipped with a kitchen, bar room & gorgeous main event room full of windows that overlook the property. They had us come in a side door, they would give more of a wow factor if they actually used their main entrance for events. Very unique venue & could have way more potential with better parking, different flooring option (not the white painted tile), better kitchen layout (what happened to the gorgeous original kitchen?) & using the main entrance for events.

Tables were kept clean and the kitchen staff were very attentive towards allergies. I can't speak for the wedding contract or planning process, but it's a very unique venue with capabilities for quite a large crowd.

From our initial meeting to view the venue, to discussing contest details, making selections on options and every other step, the team at Batres made what we feared would be a stressful process easy and smooth.

The owner was responsive to questions and potential concerns. The event coordinators helped us incorporate our own personal touches to make the experience unique and personalized to us. They helped give our daughter a fabulous celebration. We highly recommend this facility for parties, weddings and similar events!

We planned for over a year, and Maggie and her team made the entire experience seamless. Even when we had to reschedule due to pregnancy, Maggie kept great communication and gave us the flexibility to plan at our own pace.

It included food, cake, photographer, videographer, DJ, bartender, security, decorations, and more--all at a reasonable cost. The only things we provided were drinks, flowers (optional), and coolers. All the vendors were fantastic, and the venue itself was beautiful and well maintained. We couldn't be happier with our experience and highly recommend Batres Grand Venue and Maggie!

I had the best customer service experience from beginning to end. I booked in January and my event was in May. From the very beginning, the owner Shun Lewis communicated with me. I kept asking questions and she was very patient with me. She gave me suggestions when I wasn't sure about things. The day of the event, I had a few issues and she was there to keep me calm and to ensure me that every thing would be alright. A few of my guests mentioned how she went around and ask if they were comfortable with the room temperature and I felt that was sweet of her to think of the guests like that. Shun is very detailed on what is required at her premises and she makes sure you have a good understanding and I love that. She has a wonderful personality and is very professional. She is family now. Trust me when I tell you, this is a great place to hold any event. You will not be disappointed.

Michael and Jay are putting together something that can succeed, and scale if they choose to. Taco Tuesday with the Ted Talks is a well-received break. Space - multiple sizes of office option, comfortable public work spaces, the presentation space is separate from the offices, the facilities are all high quality, and the deck is going in - they never stop looking to improve. Setting is outstanding - being 3rd floor, you see big sky and trees. Parking is ample and at no cost. Tenants - everyone is friendly and professional, curious about other businesses, and focused on their own. If you are considering co-working, by all means stop in - don't let it be the place you wish you'd checked out before signing up somewhere else.

I confronted the "owner" about this and he felt justified to do so because he "is the owner" This is extremely unprofessional and inconsiderate. Especially a child's birthday! Dangerous to allow strangers to roam around the venue! Who does that! I would not recommend this place to rent, EVER! Additionally, they sell it as a "kitchen" that is available but there are always people in their offices and the kitchen does not have any supplies available and the fridge is full! The open space is nice but that is about it. It's awkward that the "owner" is there and touring people at any given moment without regards to your privacy and honoring your time that you pay to have! Hands down, super unprofessional and will never consider this place again
