Very disappointed with my experience at this venue in Calumet Park. After my event, I was told my…read moredeposit wouldn't be returned due to "shoe prints on the walls." I asked for photo proof--none was provided. My family and I cleaned thoroughly, and no one noticed any such issue. I even offered to meet at the venue to inspect the space, and that was ignored. The owner also mentioned police presence outside due to teens waiting on rides--calling it "loitering"--but even stated a fine was avoided. That shouldn't be tied to my deposit at all. When the police weren't actually called to the venue itself. The reason for withholding it, according to their own message, was just the alleged footprints, which they refused to prove. I reviewed the contract and followed all cleaning policies. This feels like a poor excuse to keep my deposit without cause. Renters, protect yourselves--take photos before and after, get everything in writing, and be cautious with this space.

Beautiful and clean venue. Friendly staff. Perfect for a dinner party, baby shower, or prom Sendoff.read more

Then the whole time no security was even there nor near. so I was charged $90 extra for nothing. Then the venue outside looks nice even though it's in a strip mall...until you walk in. The bathroom was not clean nor the kitchen area. There was old food in the fridge. There were a numerous amount of broken chairs. Dirty tables. I shouldn't have to come clean up when I paid a cleaning fee. We made the best of my daughter's bday given the current circumstances. I was recommended this person but I wish I had did more research. Never again. I paid over $600 for something that was worth maybe $150 smh. 100% don't recommend this venue. My advice do your research because I sure will next time.

We had a sticky situation with our wedding last May that required us to switch venues at the last minute. Sandra was incredibly understanding. We were still able to use the house and have friends from overseas and out of state save money on their accommodations. The house and grounds are spacious and full of wonderful history. If you are looking for a unique place to have a reception or event, please do consider this space.

Due to the location, there is plenty of parking and the venue allows parties to bring their own food. $1000 to reserve the space for I think 12 hours. You can also rent the venue for a whole day, which sounds great for a wedding.
