It was a good attempt but unfortunately the main ingredient- the wiener- just wasn't very good. It had no snap at all and was actually kind of mushy. There wasn't much flavor to it either. I also wish the bun had been a little smaller and a tad fresher. On the positive side, the homemade macaroni salad and baked beans were both tasty. I'm willing to give this place another shot. Maybe next time I'll get a specialty dog that has lots of toppings so as to not highlight the wiener itself.

My only complaint was that I didn't care for the large, cold bun the dog was put on, but that could just be a preference thing. I am more partial to either something that is steamed or grilled, or at least warmed up. Otherwise, very good! Can't wait to try other things on the menu!

Dan was FABULOUS! We live out of state, and he was so great with communicating via email/text/call…read moreto make sure we had every detail covered. He is definitely experienced with weddings, having many suggestions on things if we were unsure about it and happy to make whatever adjustments we asked for. He knew the vibe we were going for at our reception and made it happen. Everyone had such a good time. We also had him set up karaoke for us, which was so much fun and our guests loved it! He kept up the communication throughout our reception, making sure all of our "must have" songs for dancing and karaoke got their play time. I highly recommend Dan for your DJ and Karaoke needs - thank you so much!!!

Be warned there is NO communication. They falsely advertise an event coordinator for your day but…read morewhat you get is actually a catering coordinator (two different jobs). At the end of the wedding the catering coordinator asked me for a tip. There was a 21% gratuity on the final invoice and they never let me know where that went to when I asked. The seating/set up chart I received was NOT how it was set up the day of. There was a wedding the day before mine and we had to intrude on them to have our rehearsal which was unfair to them (I just hope their wedding turned out better than ours). The ceremony site was left over from the day before and a complete mess we had to realign the chairs ourselves. If you take Tim up on officiating he might decide to back out last minute and not tell you and have someone else do it who let's their phone ring during the ceremony and NEVER turn in your marriage license until you get a state representative involved. Their response was a $500 refund which I did receive but for the amount of stress they put me under on my wedding day that I shouldn't of had to deal with is unacceptable. I won't recommend this venue or the catering. The food was good but I do not want to support any businesses owned by Carson's Catering again.

I was a part of a wedding that chose the Barn at Ligonier Valley as both the ceremony and reception…read morespace. It was beautiful inside and out, and the wedding was truly wonderful. Here are the main things to note: Pros: -Beautiful interior reception space. Large, and quite flexible. -Reception area was cooled nicely. -Easily adapted to move a ceremony indoors due to rain. It was probably better that the ceremony was indoors, because the outdoor space had a few issues. -Different wall textures and outdoor set ups allowed for a variety of pictures. -Food was fine, but not spectacular. Cons: -We couldn't get into the barn when we needed to, and the owners and staff were not always on time. -The bridal suite is in desperate need of cleaning and remodeling. It's incredibly hot, so wearing a giant wedding dress gets extremely uncomfortable pretty fast. We were able to get them to bring in a big, dirty, fan that was probably 40 years old, and pretty dangerous. The carpet was very rough, and very uncomfortable to be kneeling on when trying to bustle a bride's gown! It was just old, dirty, hot and uncomfortable. A bride needs to be cool, comfortable, and have a place to sit down her glass of champagne before the wedding. -Staff started cleaning up before the party was over - we had the barn until midnight, so I didn't want to see people cleaning up until we were done cleaning up our decorations and out of the way. They started coming in at about 11, and kept moving our things and getting in our way as we were trying to wrap up. -There is a gazebo for outdoor ceremonies, but it is very close to the road, and doesn't provide a very nice backdrop. Brides have to walk from the barn through the parking lot to get to the ceremony location.

Tonight we are here for Jazz in your Face, and none of their dinner offerings are gluten free. When I asked if the chicken, at least, could be modified, the gal at the bar said no. But! She went and talked with someone, and they soon found me at my table and asked if I would like an herbed chicken cutlet with vegetables. It was so kind of them to go out of their way to make sure I had something to eat. Everything was scrumptious, and everyone was so nice! I learned that the lady was new - so she didn't know when I asked. But, she took the time to find out. I'm just one little person, but that is excellent customer service, and I appreciate it very much!

This review is for Ace's as a whole. They do offer catering, but this is for the actual physical…read morebuilding that can be rented for events. Let's hit on some of the positive things first. Decent size on the inside that allows for a variety of events to be held within. Decorations make the space look elegant. The dancefloor is a decent size. The bar area is capable of serving a multitude of drinks. The food was on point. Now, let's get into the nitty gritty of this place. Parking is atrocious. Yes, there is a parking lot adjacent to the building and some on street parking. Be mindful of the residents in the area, there are driveways that could be blocked. But also be mindful that Ace's management don't care if the parking lot for Ace's is being filled with vehicles that have an intention to go elsewhere in the neighborhood. If you bring this to their attention, the owner will tell you that they all work together in the neighborhood and that it's not a problem. Translation: not my problem, too bad your guests didn't show up earlier even though we were not open. The bathrooms inside are so small and cramped that you could and can get hit by the stall doors when you are using a urinal. Reminds you of a very old firehall. Or maybe a church hall with no windows. Guests were well behaved during the event. Mindful of the neighborhood. But the owner of the business makes assumptions that the guests "damaged" a planter outside by shoving a glass beer bottle into it, and took to their own personal Facebook page to blast the "wedding guests." Funny thing is, the bar area did not serve beer in bottles and alcohol outside is prohibited. But let's make assumptions to cover our insecurities. Since I seem to be focusing on management/owner here, let's go a little deeper. Be mindful of the card box if you have one for a wedding. I mean it was nice that they secured the box part way through the wedding, but did not let anyone know they did so. Then when you want to retrieve the card box the next day it is like pulling teeth. Or maybe the owner is keeping it as ransom for something. When attempting to reach the owner to set up a way to secure the box you get chastised that he does not read texts while he is out conducting business via the catering business. If that's how you run a business, let someone else do it. You are allowing your personality to shine through and it is not appealing to attract business. Also, be mindful that you are basically in charge of setup and clean up of your own event. And god forbid if you have multiple things going on that would make for multiple trips here. Yes, you did read that correctly, you are responsible for cleaning up after yourself directly after your event. Such a good practice for an event space. Also, keep receipts from this place. Write a check, keep the ledger updated. Receive an email, keep it. If you do happen to get a receipt, keep it. Also, make sure that you schedule around the owner's time as he doesn't seem to understand how life works and that people have jobs. Remember, keep those receipts because once you have paid off the fee, they will attempt to say you are short without proof, so save your proof. If you have a crap attitude and run your business short of a scam, maybe running a catering/event business is not for you. Or maybe you should take a course in personal relations and learn to at least be fake a smile and keep it to yourself like everyone else in the world has at your age.
