She was always there to guide and inform us - certainly trying during the Pandemic when the rules of gathering fluctuated daily! Upon arriving at the site on the big day, I found Jeni pinning up the hem of one of the bridesmaid's dresses! Talk about above and beyond the call of duty! Just amazing and I couldn't be happier with how everything turned out. Jeni and her staff are warm and knowledgeable. Such a great group of people and perfect place for a wedding.

My brother got married here in December and it was absolutely stunning! The food was so good! The…read moresteak was perfectly cooked, as well as the asparagus. And the caprese chicken was so flavorful. The Tannenbaum was actually my own creation, but the bartenders pulled it off perfectly with the rosemary and cranberry garnish. I wish I had pictures of the appetizers because they were SO BOMB. We had a mountain of shrimp, and a number of delicious appetizers that came out on silver platters, including my favorite - The Nashville Hot Chicken Flatbread. They also had a late night pizza and wing station that was super good.

There is a lot of space to have tables set whichever way you want and the tables and chairs are nice looking and comfortable. There are a wide variety of menu options to choose from including some things that aren't on a typical banquet menu (like chicken souvkaki). Service from both the day of servers and the banquet coordinators is fantastic. Very communicative and friendly. One down side is that while there are signs by the various rooms for what the event is, I wish there was someone directing people when you first walk in, especially if there are several events going on. But overall, a great place to host or attend events.

There was a coffee and tea station set up at the banquet room entrance, serve yourself and pitchers of water were on the table and offer refilled.

The meal was good, I wish once they started serving food they would have put a coffee carafe on each table.

The atmosphere in and outside is so nice being right on Lake Erie. The menu choices are good although kinda limited especially if you done like seafood. I ordered The Scallops (pictured) which were very, very good. They were cooked perfect with a nice sauce. My wife ordered The Filet which she stated was very tasty and tender although was not cooked the way she ordered it. We love it here and will come again. Bottom line, great place for dinner and drinks, bring the whole family.

The salmon was ordered with no seasoning on it and came out covered in it. The Summer Vegetable with lemon butter sauce and angel hair pasta came with shells in red sauce and very little vegetables and I mean hardly any vegetable. We pointed this out to our server she said they ran out of the angle hair pasta. We asked to speak to the manager and who ever that was never showed up. When the bill came all they did was take one drink off each persons bill. This is definitely one place we will never step foot in again.

I had a very disappointing experience with Jay's White Elephant. The owner quoted my family $1,400…read moremultiple times over the phone prior to our event, and several people clearly heard and confirmed that price. However, after my brother's Sweet 16, the total was suddenly increased to $2,200 with no clear explanation. When questioned, the owner denied ever agreeing to the original price, despite multiple witnesses and repeated conversations confirming it. There were also several other inconsistencies leading up to the event. Initially, the owner told my mother that decoration would be handled and specifically instructed her not to bring anything like balloons. Closer to the event, that changed, and we were then told that no decorations would be provided at all. What made the situation even more frustrating was that only about half of our expected guests attended, meaning less work and fewer resources were needed. Despite this, the price was still significantly increased. My mother even attempted to pay in advance to avoid any confusion, but the owner declined at the time, only to later raise the price. The way this situation was handled caused significant stress and ultimately left my mother in tears and my brother very upset on what was supposed to be a special celebration. Based on this experience, I cannot recommend this venue and would encourage others to look elsewhere. I would give this zero stars if I could

The dill pickle appetizer was also delicious, kind of like a dill pickle popper. The caprese salad was good but I didn't pay attention to the menu and there was prosciutto in it which I didn't expect.

I remember going here when I was younger, I enjoyed it more this time. Service was wonderful. The atmosphere is very nice, though dated. Recommended.

We hired Andrea Ball as our "day of" coordinator for a wedding in the Buffalo, NY area and she did…read morean outstanding job that made our wedding so much more enjoyable as she took so much of the stress out of it. While we did much of the vendor selection and planning (site, florist, cake) on our own, Andrea reviewed contracts for us, came with us to planning meetings, and recommended vendors for areas we had not yet found one. She found people on short notice when things came up (e.g. piano player for our cocktail reception) and made sure that we had thought through all the issues for the day of our wedding. But the real value was on the day of the wedding. Andrea had everything moving on time, with little stress, and it just made things move by so smoothly. Andrea has great working relationships throughout the area which adds to her value in making sure things get done without a hitch -- and if there is a hitch - she'll fix it before it becomes a problem. Worth every penny and then some.
