The ceremony was outdoors on the lawn and the space is great for that. There's a dance floor area inside and plenty of space for any food or catering.

I have SO many good things to say about this place. First off, I live a couple blocks away from the…read moreLeapin Lizard, so any chance I get to come here, I won't pass up. I've been here for dance lessons, various events, but this past weekend I came here to see a friend's bellydance show (I love that this space hosts such a broad variety of events). Don't come expecting some fancy-pants venue. Leapin' Lizard is definitely rough around the edges, but is filled with character. I came to the show with my friend's husband and we stopped back at the bar to grab a drink before the show. My friend ordered a whiskey sour. The bartender told us that she was waiting for the sour mix to be brought up but that she would walk the drink over to us when it arrived (in a very busy event), how cool is that!? The bar staff was SUPER friendly throughout the event and it definitely made an impression. I can't wait for the next chance I have to come back!

Writing this from the perspective of attending a wedding here…read more.. And from my vantage point, The Grand Ballroom is a lovely venue. A staff member was waiting for guests when they walked in to hand them tickets to validate parking so we could park in the nearby garage for free. The ballroom where the wedding was held had tall windows that let in a lot of light. It felt a bit historic, with large chandeliers, but also enough of an elegantly-appointed blank slate where you could do what you want with decorations and it wouldn't clash. After the ceremony, everyone went up a floor to the balcony that overlooks the ballroom for cocktail hour, while the ballroom was flipped for dinner. The servers were friendly with drinks and hors d'oeuvres, and the staff in the ballroom pulled out the tables, which had been pre-set and waiting on the side of the ballroom. While anyone could see them setting up from the balcony, this did not cause any loud noises or interruptions. And then we headed back down for dinner, which was a mix of chicken and steak, I believe. It was delicious. Overall this venue was perfect for this wedding of less than 100 people -- the setting for a beautiful night.

I chose and payed for this venue for my daughter's weddinga year ago.Unfortunately this was a major…read moremistake.Apparently this is not a full time business but rather a side gig of the owners /management.I had been to family gatherings here before years ago. Difficult to make a long story short but I payed in full a year before when I booked,being told the gazebo in the back would be fully decorated for fall complete with mums ,pumpkins etc for the couple's final dance. My daughter talked of little else to cap off her night.I requested china service for dinner which apparently wasn't noted in the managers notes.approximately 5 hours before the event I was verifying china and was told no,it wasn't in her notes sorry. I replied sorry doesn't fix anything go ahead and set it up.no go. Additionally the bridal party was for 12 they set up for 8 ,when pointed out simply brought more chairs to an already crowded table to ends,my girls brought chairs for their table.my guests reported the limited beer selection was warm as well as the wine.they did not reserve a table for myself and father as requested so we arrived from church with no place to sit.The catering service cut 2/3 of the cake and left so I look over to family cutting cake.I brought this to the managers attention who said they only cut part of the cake?! ( the top was not to be reserved and already cut.) The outdoor gazebo had zero decorations even though I brought it up the day before.the bathroom door had broken locks which I discovered that night.Completed disappointed and would recommend somewhere that was operating as a business and not just a side hustle.clearly they had my money a year earlier and where uninterested in hiring appropriate event staff ,or in customer service.

A few hours before my wedding, we found out we weren't having China, and I found out while eating that we had STYROFOAM PLATES. My bridal party did not have enough seats, and my mom's table was not reserved! Guests were waiting for drinks since the manager was also the bartender who was arguing with my mom about why there weren't enough seats. THEN, while I was chatting with guests, I noticed mom and the manager by the cake table.. come to find out, she was again arguing with her, telling her she said we were responsible for plating and cutting the cake! Which we would have never agreed to. I was also looking forward to a final dance with beautiful lights and mums under the gazebo in the back, and that too was not set up. If you use them, keep your contract and have them sign off to what they agreed to!!! Yes, I am happily married now, but they dropped the ball on the most important details !!! more than one time on the most important night of my life!!!

The Lodge was once a private home and has that intimate feeling but is in the middle of the woods. The Lodge is beautiful with all the wood floors, fireplaces, stone terrace and wrap around porch. There is ample parking. The inside holds 100 and the stone terrace holds 200. Elegant Fare handles all events held at the Lodge. Our daughter got married this past summer. She wanted a vintage/rustic event and the beauty of the natural surroundings and gorgeous venue convinced us the moment we saw it. The ceremony was held out on the terrace. The 220 guests had appetizers on the circular drive while the staff converted the ceremony space and wrap around porch into a seated reception with an area for dancing and DJ. We worked with Julie at Elegant Fare and she was knowledgable, flexible, accomodating and professional. The food was flawless. I can't say enough good things about our experience with this facility.
