    If you need a sign to book The Gala 417, let this review be it! After our initial consultation, my husband and I knew right away that we wanted The Gala to be our wedding venue for several reasons. First, we loved that it was all-inclusive. Having the ceremony and reception be in the same place, plus not having to worry about hiring a caterer/bartender made wedding planning hassle-free. They also have an awesome rental collection with items like table numbers, card boxes, signs, etc. for very reasonable prices. Their preferred vendor list also got us special offers for our photographer and DJ. Second, the staff is great. I was pretty clueless about wedding planning, but Amberly and her team were amazing at promptly answering any questions I had, no matter how small! Also, shoutout to Duane at the bar who took care of my husband and me all night! Third was the day of coordination that's included. I knew that I wanted to relax and enjoy my wedding day as much as possible, so having a day of coordinator was major. Lyndsey was absolutely amazing and exceeded my expectations. She went above and beyond on our wedding day, from setting up decor to sewing buttons on the best man's blazer to using club soda to get my makeup stain out of my husband's blazer, she was a rockstar. Mariah, who was our point of contact post-ceremony, was also awesome! Any concerns I had she was on top of right away. I will 10000% recommend The Gala 417 to anyone looking for a wedding or event venue. It was worth every penny and we are beyond happy with our choice.

    I so cannot remember the owner of this place, but hopefully I took a picture of the card and posted…read moreit here. Nevertheless, this place is phenomenal!! I believe this place is fairly new, because I so remember something else being in this spot some years ago. However, I could be wrong, but let's focus on present day... I was invited to a 50th birthday celebration here last Saturday. I had a general idea of where the place was located since I am sorta familiar with the area being a native and all. But we arrived close to 7pm and everything was all set up. My friend advised us to arrive at 6:45pm because it was a surprise party for her husband... so we popped in and everything was in tact. Even the workers were on their post awaiting to great the guest and provide service. I especially loved seeing this! I don't know about you, but I have been places where people are still setting up or put the early arrival guest in a waiting area until the main area is set. Well not at 757 events, they were on point!! I can be long winded when writing reviews, but I like to give yall an experience and feel how I felt when I visited. Especially, since this is the first review... This place is really all the rage!! Not too big of a event space, but just the right size to entertain a group of 100 maybe more. But a few tables were set up along with a few cocktail tables... a club lounge vibe it gave. I believe the owner decorate the spot, so my friend gave a vision and it came to life last Saturday night. Another big plus... the owner catered the event. The buffet set up is away from the party people... I loved this!!! I didn't have to worry about smelling like food or even the venue smelling like food! The bar set up... another big plus!! I believe the bartender was set up through the owner and he was on point too. Even though he was a one man show, he kept the drinks flowing... no complaints, all smiles!! Now the parking lot is rather small. I did not notice if more parking was behind the building. But if you arrive early enough no worries here, as we did. Overall, this place is gorgeous and far as I can see ran properly and with love! You can tell whoever is behind this, loves what they do. I highly recommend you look into this venue space for your party needs big or small. Take care and enjoy life :)

    Simply amazing! I found this place on Eventective while searching for an all inclusive party venue,…read moreI am so glad I did. I emailed them and was immediately contacted by Karen, the owner. She is such a joy to work with. For someone like me that worries about every little detail, I felt comfortable leaving it all to her. She is professional, kind and makes sure you are at ease during the entire process. I told her exactly what my vision was and she went ABOVE AND BEYOND. The staff that was there on the day of my event were also very friendly and professional. We loved the bartender. Most importantly, the food was delicious. Not one complaint was given. You will not be disappointed if you book with 757 events. They handle it ALL, food, decorations, liquor, DJ if needed. My husband had the best surprise party ever. I will book here time and time again. Thank you, Karen, and your wonderful staff!

Great to work with, flexible, and had a genuine concern that our day went the way we wanted it. The venue is very nice and the decorations make for great evening ambiance. It was just what we wanted. Noel was able to coordinate additional decorations from a previous event without charging us which we really enjoyed. The outside deck gives good views of Lynnhaven inlet as well. Service during our event was great, not intrusive and professional. Starting out with 5 stars because of Noel and her staff. Negatives, Food quality is about a 3 out of 5 stars and not representative of the price you are paying. Most items were clearly pre-made food service items that were re-heated or deep fried. Chicken was a little dry, sauce was pre-packaged, shrimp were fried or baked from frozen with sriracha sauce drizzled over them and labeled bang bang shrimp, apps were pre-made food service company items. We were disappointed in the food at the tasting, commented that we wanted the kitchen to step it up, but ended up with the same crap food for the event. Minus 1 star. They charge a service fee to pay with credit card here. I don't appreciate a business passing on the fee that a credit card company charges them so that they can offer that payment method to their customers. It's a slimy business tactic. If you're going to nickle and dime me for your costs, just build it in to your prices and then offer a cash discount. Minus .5 stars. Overall, we really enjoyed our event and our service was great, but the food is cafeteria quality at best. Fortunately, most people were distracted enough by the event to not care, but we definitely noticed.

    This review is for the pool only. The club participates in Virginia Beach Swim League in the Summer…read moreand is home to the Barracudas. Broad Bay is mainly known for it's beautiful golf course, but the pool with recent enhancements is just what they needed. BB does offer tennis too. Broad Bay Country Club is located off of Great Neck Rd. across from Cox H.S. It can get confusing finding the pool from the main entrance which is Stonehaven. Turn onto Lords Landing from Great Neck (may need to pull a u-turn if approaching from the North) and make a right at the wooden BB sign and drive up the hill. Parking is just past the pool and pretty plentiful even on swim meet days. The pool is six lanes 25 meters and is rectangular with no bump outs for diving etc . Deck space is limited. A wooden arbor area on the road side allows for limited seating and has a baby pool. Depth at the shallow end is approximately 3.5 ft and deep end 7 ft. A new large area opposite the road had a new slab put in to level a previous space off. It now boast a large canopy over the entire space and is used for events as well as seating for swim meets. It nicely done with hanging chandeliers and fire pit.. Also a new wooden structure was recently built outside the pool to post results and put up fliers of all sorts for the club. The pool sets on beautiful real estate right off the golf course. I have always found the grounds surrounding the pool to be well maintained. If you are a member of the club this is really a great space for a family to enjoy. I am not a member of this club, but from my four years of helping around this pool I would recommend checking them out for membership.

Ivenia was warm, attentive, and truly went above and beyond to make us feel welcome.

Even more impressive, we learned her birthday was the next day, yet she still showed up with outstanding service and a smile.

The front desk staff is courteous and professional. Loved the gym and pool amenities plus with Amex card holders you get $10 per guest to use however you would like or get credits. Other than that it's a tired, dated hotel that could use some TLC and carpet cleaning. The sheets were too small for the queen bed so they kept bunching up and removing itself exposing the mattress which was annoying to adjust. Not sure why Hilton doesn't have mattress cover protectors for sanitary reasons. Found hair and mysterious stains here and there so not much attention to detail on tidiness. Housekeeping came once during our 3 night stay.

This type of behavior in a work setting is very inappropriate and should be dealt with properly. Complaints have been made to the management several of times, but they have been met with little to no effort in resolving this matter. Said individuals continue to provoke her after complaints have been made and nothing has been done. The hiring management needs to be looked into and reevaluated. This behavior from other staff members is unacceptable. My purpose in writing this is to express my concern for the other woman that work here and have experienced the same issues with a few members of the male staff.
