He was encouraging when I was worried about the reception. He helped us with some set up, his food was fabulous, his staff was top of the line.

Thank you so much Matt, for making our daughter's dream come true.

WEA YOU STAY GOING?…read more Wen people learn dat you stay going mainland fo' vacay, dey usually respond with beeg smiles, wide eyes, and enthusiastically ask, "Where are you going?" or "What state are you visiting?"

Post-visit, I can honestly say wat stay ovah dea: "Haoles, corn, and choke land." ------------- SCCA SOLO II NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP RUNOFFS I was dea attending da 50th Annual Sports Car Club of America (SCCA) Solo II National Championship Runoffs sponsored by online discount tire/wheel magnate, Tire Rack, and held in September 2013. No, I don't race, but my husband does! And befoa any of you get any kine preconceived notions of a spiky-haired, skinny and lanky Japanee/Korean/Chinee who binges on Fast & Da Furious movies, Initial D manga, and Top Gear (da Europe version; U.S. one sucks monkey butt), who illegally races on da H-2 and H-3 freeway in da middle of da nite, and goes to Tantalus fo' midnite drift runs .... YOU'RE ACTUALLY RIGHT! NOT! He's a "fluffy", dark Hawaiian dude dat I affectionately call "Da Fat & Da Furious" (based on comedian Gabriel Iglesias' hilarious joke) who has done autocrossing fo' ovah a decade now. WHAT AUTOCROSSING (OR "AUTOX") IS .... A timed competition wea cars race, one at a time, on a defined course, and da goal is fo' have da fastest time. It's a sport dat requires speed, but mo' so, you need fo' have precision and expertise behind da wheel. WHAT AUTOX IS ***NOT*** .... - Illegal road racing - Drifting - Crap you see in movies like da Fast & Da Furious FOR MO' INFO ... If you're interested in mo' detail, go check 'um out, go check 'um, go check 'um: Website: http://www.sccahawaii.org/category/solo/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SCCAHawaii BACK TO DA RECEPTION HALL Anywhoooo, wat brought us to "Podunkville" was dis competition + da hall was used as da site of da welcome reception/banquet. It was spacious, clean, and capable of holding large parties up to 300 people. A parking lot dat holds up to 90 cars and no pukas!!! (puka = "hole" in Hawaiian; if you live in Hawai'i, especially on O'ahu, majority of our roads and highways look like da equivalent of Swiss cheese). Has a large commercial kitchen or you can bring your own catering/food. Very impressive and located rite across from da Museum of American Speed dat has several HUMANGOUS floors of race cars, engines, items related to speed (push carts, bikes, etc.), car-related merchandise (lunch boxes, toys, etc.), antiques, and mo'! I guess with all da land in Corntown, U.S.A. dey can afford fo' have such a spacious and huge facility ... lucky buggahs! REVIEW #256

The facility is gorgeous, well stocked and had all kinds of extras that you can choose to use for your event. Great sound system. Debbie went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed and went the extra mile to make last minute items for us. Everything was set up just as discussed when we arrived. She was involved through the whole process and so easy to work with. The bartender was great and so accommodating when we had a featured drink request. Thank you so much! We will definitely look to you if we ever need an event space in Lincoln again!

"Good for large fundraisers, dances, & weddings."…read more As I am writing this, Yelp has an incorrect listing for this building. It is actually located at 201 N. 7th St. in Lincoln's Historic Haymarket District. This location is good for large fundraisers, dances, & weddings. It is part of an historic train depot , which has since been turned into a Great Hall. It's run by Premier catering. According to their website: - Located in the Haymarket - Beautiful Marble Floors - 19 Foot High Ceilings - Seats up to 425 - Total Meeting Space - 6,100 sq. ft. - Total Number of Meeting Rooms - 1 - Food/Beverage Capabilities - Yes - Total Number of Sleeping Rooms - 0 Photos & a floorplan are also available here: http://www.premiercatering.net/lincolnstation.htm I've been to many different events here, & they all seemed to run smoothly. TIPS: - For out-of-towners, several nice hotels are within walking distance (even in 4" heels - just watch the cobblestone!). - For newlyweds - the Haymarket is a favorite place for outdoor wedding photos. - Bring cash. If there's an ATM inside, I can't find it. - If you're early to an event here, walk a block north & check out the water tower courtyard, brick relief of a train, & the old "retired" trains behind the building. There's also a train jungle gym for kids who need to run out some energy. - Excellent locally breweed beer & homemade ice cream next door, at Lazlo's & Ivanna Cone, respectively. - Use the south doors on the east side of the building. (next to the bronze guy on the bench) The entrances to the ballroom are often locked on the other side during events.

The food was to be delivered at 6:00 pm, but it arrived at 5:10 pm and they forgot to give me the silverware and napkins.

When I called to schedule a session my options were clearly explained to me and the process was made easy to understand. My son is not a fan of having his picture taken, so I was worried about how the photos would look. Jaime worked so well with him that you would never have known he generally isn't cooperative for pictures. In fact, he actually enjoyed the session. His photos turned out great. I was hoping to have a couple good pictures to choose from, but they all turned out so well, I couldn't decide which were my favorites (this is a good problem to have!). LeeAnn walked me through the ordering process, showed me all the end products that are available, and made it so much easier than I had expected. I am very happy with my decision to have Purple Sky Productions handle my son's senior portraits and will absolutely choose them when my daughter is a senior, for family portraits and for any other special occasions that I want quality photographs.
