The space behind the caboose is spacious, with plenty of seating. It was also super easy for our catering to set up. The caboose itself has been turned into the most adorable little bar, which adds such a unique and charming touch. Everyone was loving how adorable this place is! The Owners of the Venue are Truly passionate and they have put their heart into making this venue something truly special. We actually pulled off a surprise party here and had 50 people hide behind the caboose while we waited for the guest of honor to show up for his 60th surprise! The whole vibe of the venue is so fun and welcoming. I can't recommend The Train Station enough if you're looking for a truly special spot for any kind of celebration!

We love that the space already has an aesthetic so it's decorated even before we put anything up. It's convenient to rent tables and chairs on the spot and having the flexibility to fix the space up any way you like is great. I also love that they have a fridge that we've used for cakes and desserts. Our friends and family have complimented how nice the space is and they like how easy and accessible it is to park nearby and walk up. Pat and team have been super helpful, informative, and communicated with us throughout the process, making everything so easy. We're excited to continue having events here in the future.

We had such a wonderful experience at Babylon Palace, thanks to the owner, Mike. From the very…read morebeginning, he did everything he possibly could to make sure my daughter's Sweet 16 was the most special and memorable night. He's honestly one of the kindest and most humble business owners I've ever me, and it showed in the way he took care of every detail. We loved that we got to sample his popular chipotle sauce...amazing! Also let us sample the chocolate he uses for the chocolate fountain, also amazing! We actually got to sample a slice of cake, which was very delicious. Even though we went with a different person for the cake, it was delicious! The hall itself was gorgeous and much bigger than what we actually needed, but that turned out to be a blessing. There was so much room between tables, so guests could move around comfortably without squeezing between chairs. My cousin, who was on a knee scooter due to a leg injury and an aunt with a walker, were able to get around with ease, including to and from the large restrooms. What really surprised me were all the extras that came with the hall-I didn't even have to bring in much of my own, though I still added one desert table for the candy apples we had. The snack table he had, was a big hit and everyone loved it. Mike made it the whole process so easy and stress-free, and I can honestly say the night couldn't have been better. I'm so grateful for the experience and would recommend Babylon Palace to anyone who wants their event to feel truly special.

From the beginning, we felt such a warm and genuine connection with the owner and planner, Tony B. He made us feel welcomed, supported, and truly cared for throughout the process, which meant so much to us during such an important time. We made multiple visits leading up to our wedding to make sure every detail was in place and everything would run smoothly, and Tony was always gracious, attentive, and reassuring. His involvement and care gave us so much confidence and peace of mind throughout the planning process. When some of the decor did not go according to was originally planned (due to amount of guests) Tony improvised and made everything so simple and easy. On the day of our reception, everything came together beautifully. The venue was elegant, inviting, and created the perfect atmosphere for our celebration. My husband and I were incredibly satisfied with our experience, and we are so grateful to Tony B. and the Crystal Ballroom for helping make our wedding reception so special and memorable. We would absolutely recommend Crystal Ballroom to any couple looking for a beautiful venue and a team that truly cares.

The one thing he told me was, "Make sure you go when Chef Sergio is working." So before heading over, I actually called ahead to make sure Chef Sergio was there. Man, he did not disappoint. This guy can seriously cook. I ordered the chicken battered burger with coleslaw, and it was incredible. When he brought the food out to my table, I asked him what his secret was. He smiled and said, "I cook with love, providing a new experience of taste with each serving." That sold me right there. This is officially going to be my go-to spot anytime I'm looking for something good to eat.
