A hidden gem in Chesapeake for sure! I personally loved my experience there at Riverview; my best…read morefriend had her wedding reception there not too long ago and it was absolutely beautiful. They have a huge event space that you can rent out for anything, and it faces out onto the water which was a gorgeous view. I also did personal training here with Sierra Meacham and for anyone looking for a personal trainer but doesn't know where to start, like I was, I highly HIGHLY recommend reaching out to Sierra even just for a talk. She helped me personal train and helped me understand meal prepping and what to look for in my foods and what I need nutrients-wise for my goal as well as my weight goals! She kept pushing me to my PRs are farther:) She is so understanding and takes every problem I had whether it was with meal-prepping or weight-lifting posture hesitancies and how to overcome. I highly recommend her but definitely reach out and check in with her! She can book up quickly because of how awesome and thorough she is with her clients!! She can also guide you through the different rooms in Riverview such as the redlight therapy and saunas and what not and the importance of them on the body physically and mentally. They also have networking nights and people with different small businesses or want to get out there with the public and socialize I highly recommend checking in when the next night is and go... it's a lot of fun 100/10 recommend!! #personaltraining #mealprep #she'llsetyoustraight! #networking

We went on a Friday for strawberry picking, to see the animals and to shop the farmers market. Our…read morekids also enjoyed the play area also. There's bounce houses and a playground. The strawberry picking baskets were a flat rate (which we liked versus other places that charge by weight). It was pretty reasonable at $23 for a bucket and the strawberries were delish. There's also a patio restaurant called the Hive for food and drinks.

Went here Sunday for the fall pumpkin festival. Entry to the festival is free. You just have to pay…read more$10 for parking. Once inside there's other activities to pay for like the monster truck ride, petting farm, corn maze, and other kids activities. The hayride and pumpkin patch are both free. The hayride goes from the parking/monster truck area, to the market/restaurant area, to the pumpkin patch, and then back to the first spot of the parking/monster truck area. I found the fall festival to be really cute and great for photo ops. I really enjoyed each of the different sections of the farm. Decided to get on the monster truck before leaving (9/10); it was my first time riding in/on one and it was pretty fun. To ride was $10 per person. All of the staff members were friendly and made light conversation. I can def see myself returning especially since they also have a Christmas tree farm and a restaurant on site. My overall rate of experience : 9.5/10

I have been past this place more than a few times and just thought it was another office building…read morethat was very modern. Well, I am partially correct. It is kind of a WeWork mindset. You can rent this place and use it for a variety of reasons. A get together with family, work meetings, and even a dedicated recording room to do a podcast. On every level there are different aspects to fit your personal or business needs. On the top floor there is an open rooftop with a full kitchen that can be rented out. This place is very clean and there is digital entry but for events there is always someone at entry to let you in and guide you to whatever event you are there for. If having an event in the Norfolk area this place is a definite option to consider.

Yet yesterday we stayed again and we're just impressed so much I just had to reach out and say thank to all the staff and management! So would say that I have now opened to door to others filling up or over booking. But, I say it's to put the other Hotels on notice this is your Benchmark Hotel in Chesapeake! Thanks we will back !

First time trying this hotel out and the experience was solid. The room size was big compared to…read moreother places I've stayed. This set up included a large living room area with a desk and mini fridge. There was also two queen size beds with a vanity area and a bathroom. The bathroom comes with body wash, shampoo and conditioner which is also a nice to have when traveling. Here's what could've been better -The ac unit in our room struggled to push air out. It felt like someone put a filter over it. This didn't impact us too much as the weather was pleasant during our stay but if we were staying during the summer this would be an issue. -The toilet in the room was loud and took a long time to fill back up. -The elevators: there are two of them and they moved really slowly. At one point they started to vibrate and shake while we were on them. We started to take the stairs out of concern. - there were also hand written/printed signs in places like the restroom which just cheapens the feel of the hotel. Here is what worked -breakfast: they have complimentary breakfast that includes hot items like oatmeal, eggs, pancakes, potatoes, fruit, cereal and a assortment of juices. The coffee is awful. So coffee drinkers be preparing make alternative arrangements! -amenities: they have a indoor pool and fitness center. -TV: they have cable TV which offers an arrary of options. People who live to stream while in hotels may not like this option. Overall this hotel is a good budget friendly option for travelers in need of a place to stay for a few days.

If you're a couple and not a group, give them a try. heck, give them a try anyway. everyone was so nice!

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!

I had no idea about this venue space until I attended a celebration last night…read more This place is rather small, but if you are looking to entertain a guest count of 50 or less, this place may be perfect for you. I am not sure how you reach out to the owner to book, but I imagine if you call the number someone will get back with you with the specifics and availability. Not that much parking near the facility, but street parking is available. And it is only a short walk to the front door. This is another factor to keep in mind when considering your guest count. Overall, I recommend you check out this place for your small gathering needs. Have fun and enjoy life :)

I visited for a Mindful Mornings event on a rainy November morning. Nearby metered street parking was easy to grab. For this event the space was set up for a presentation. A large projector screen was displayed in the front of the room. Small tables were set up on the side featuring some caffeine and sweets from local businesses who partnered for this event. There was ample seating around the room. The signs on the wall could be quickly changed to accommodate a menu or just an inspirational quote or message to fit the theme of the space. In the back of the room there was a full professional kitchen ready for some of the area's culinary talent to make magic happen. From their website "Created and sponsored by Grow. ENJOY: is a 501(c)(3), with a mission to raise funds for local, culturally-focused charities through unique creative experiences." I am so excited that this space exists and I will be actively keeping an eye out for unique local experiences in this space.
