I can't recommend The Fred enough. We held our wedding here in September 2025. It's nestled in a…read morequiet, cozy area of Ghent, and we loved the natural gardens for our photos. Their pricing was also perfect for our tight budget. We felt so lucky finding this gem. Eleise was wonderful. She always answered emails or made herself available when I wanted to visit the venue twice more after signing the contract. We had just under 50 guests, and the space worked beautifully for the romantic and intimate setting we wanted. We had an outdoor ceremony and used both the indoor and outdoor spaces for our cocktail hour and reception. The only thing I wish had been different was being allowed to set up a little bit the day before. I was told it wasn't permitted due to past negative experiences. We were able to rehearse our outdoor ceremony the day before, but didn't have access to the indoor space. Because of that, there was a lot to do on the wedding day, and my crew simply didn't have enough time to get everything done. That wasn't The Fred's fault, I should've delegated things a little better and asked for more help. Looking back, even a couple of hours the day before just to walk through the space with my planning team and place stickies around the place explaining my vision would have helped tremendously. Just something to consider when choosing your venue.

I've been here many events ago and recently had my own event here. The guy running the place is…read morealways nice and accommodating. The center is in the beautiful part of the Ghent area. I wish they can do something about the landscaping because It looks like big bushy weeds growing everywhere but I'm sure that's part of the "look" For the inside there are 2 floors you can make use of that includes a kitchen on the first floor. The center itself is spacious and for what I needed it for, it fit the need. The place is dated and could need some major remodeling.

Another restaurant week to add to books for this year. This was my first time dining in at the…read moreplace for lunch and the food did not disappoint especially for restaurants week where you had the option of entree and appetizers or appetizers and dessert. I would recommend the second option. Walk in are welcome but there was a little bit of confusion of where to go for check in for dine in vs to go even when it was less packed when we got there. but once we got seated everything was smooth after that and the layout of the cafe is pretty spacious where they have regular tables and booth seating and the layout of gave elevated cafe vibes. We did their lunch option it was $20 for either a appetizer and entree or appetizer and dessert we choose the first option and For drinks I did their hot chocolate that was really good and very chocolate forward and nice and smooth perfect for the cold weather. For food I try their garlic lover burger it was a little bit dry but still had that consistency of a burger and the garlic flavor was mild. The second option I try was the shrimp tempura it was my second favorite thing off the menu it was nice and light and had that perfect light crunch and the sauce was perfect combo for balance of richness. And the best part was the dessert the dulce de leche cheesecake was sweet and creamy and balanced and was very delicious I would recommend try out this was $5 dollars a good deal for a cheesecake.

From llamas to mile stone adult parties- their products won't make your party feel straight out of a 90's Party City catalog. It's Instagram and 2021 ready. This stuff is quality! It's goes way beyond the classic party vibe and elevates your celebrations to an event and experience for everyone involved. They also can make custom decorations like balloon arches and custom wall cut outs. If you've got a theme they can work with you to recommend the best product combinations to bring your party to life! Most recently I came here for my boyfriend's 39th birthday and was able to find the perfect combination of items to make the celebration feel like an experience and was perfect for the man who "hates birthday parties" who is dating someone who plans events as part of her job.

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.

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
