It sits off the street with minimal lighting at the entrance so I initially drove past it. Once inside, I was really impressed with how the organizers transformed the space. It's really flexible & perfect for small to medium sized events. It's literally a blank slate awaiting your creative vision. You can comfortably seat roughly 100 guests. Free parking is available onsite and there are a couple outdoor areas available for ceremonies as well. Finally, the cost is reasonable. If you can host your event Monday - Thursday, there's even more cost savings. Staff members are available to help and man the bar. Check them out!

I came on board as the event planner for a H.S. graduation party after this venue had already been…read morebooked. If I had been involved from the beginning, I would not have chosen Claret Hall. While we were able to pull off a beautiful event, it was in spite of the venue -- not because of it. Dated Look & Layout Challenges Claret Hall's interior leans towards modest and practical. The mirrored walls in the main hall add a dated look, along with the wood floors, and a layout that's more "community center". Despite this, the staff carries themselves as if this is some grand, modern ballroom with marble floors and crystal chandeliers. Let's be clear -- it's not. The lobby has several design limitations: a brown beat up leather sofa that can't be removed because they "have nowhere to store it," and a built-in desk with a counter that takes up valuable space. There's a fireplace in the lobby with exit doors on both sides, and nothing is allowed near or in front of them (something we were reminded of multiple times), including while inflating balloons. If you're hoping to create a dramatic or welcoming entry moment, prepare to work around all of this. The catering/banquet room also had scuffed walls in clear need of a paint refresh. The main event room layout wasn't very functional either, because my design included a large balloon display and DJ booth, I had to carefully measure and adjust to avoid blocking yet another fire exit door. Inflexible Rules & Overbearing Oversight We had planned a mocktail bar setup for the grad on the outdoor patio. However, we were later told that we'd have to go through an entirely separate entity (and pay additional fees) just to use the patio for a "bar" that was NON-ALCOHOLIC, because it's technically not owned by Claret Hall. We ended up relocating the mocktail bar indoors. Additionally, we were told that we could not use any of their high top 32" round tables on the patio. During one of the walkthroughs, their staff member with the British accent, Ms. Eudene, used a very no nonsense tone, was borderline rude and not collaborative. The morning after our final walk-through, I called to ask for the fireplace measurements I had forgotten to take. The woman on the phone said a church event was happening and someone would have to call me back the next day. When I asked, "Isn't there a yellow measuring tape right there on the desk?" she paused, begrudgingly put me on hold, and minutes later returned with the measurements--but with an annoyed tone. It was unnecessarily difficult and honestly, lazy. If you're sitting right there, how does a church service stop you from walking four feet to measure a fireplace? She wasn't involved in the service! On the event day, all my vendors and helpers arrived on time! Granted, we were 30 minutes early, but the building was completely empty -- no church service or event in progress as we had been told there would be. Still, the staffer on duty would not let anyone in even 15 minutes early, citing liability and the contract terms. While I understand the policy, it was frustrating in the moment, especially with no one else in the building, balloon vendors outside with balloons, furniture vendors standing outside waiting, and a tight setup schedule. To top it off, as we were packing up at the end of the night; already actively cleaning and breaking down, the same staffer came over to me with a printed checklist, pointing out everything that needed to be done. I was beyond annoyed. Not exactly the energy you want at the end of a very long day. Final Thoughts Claret Hall is fine for modest events with low design needs. It is not ideal for creative designers who need a blank slate, creative freedom, or flexibility. Be prepared to design around fire exits, some immovable furniture, and strict staff oversight. It is also worth noting that a church regularly holds its services at Claret Hall, which can impact availability. I wouldn't personally book it again.

As you enter straight, you will be enamored by the grandness of the spacious ballroom with plenty of room for an elaborate event whether it's a wedding, reception, gala etc. We attended a book release gala and felt the luxury of the venue with some mini or flaws of which can be easily remedied of management take pride in this space. Sarah had been the epitome of the heart and soul of customer service as I visited several times with the organizers of the gala. Her patience and knowledge was impeccable! She thoroughly answered all questions and made herself available when needed. As you walk up the curved steps there are several rooms including a beautiful chandelier room with a panoramic view. This room is perfect backdrop for elegant photos. There's ample space for an open or cash bar in the section to your left. Cocktail hour was fancied by high top tables and the most friendly staff members at the open bar area. The bathrooms were well decorated and maintained. Unfortunately, there was no heat which was surprising as this place screams of luxury. Also, this was one of the coldest days of the year. I think that food should be included as I was aware that the food at the gala had been catered by a private chef or restaurant. There is plenty of parking which is within a gated area.

The venue itself is a gem, a beautiful and elegant space. The maintenance leaves a lot to be desired. We hosted our event 12/5, the heat was not working in all areas, the chandelier rooms upstairs are beautiful but the walls could stand a cleaning or touchup paint job. They supplied a chaise for photos however it was stained. Personally, I caution anyone wanting to use this venue to read the contract and sit with management to review all sections as there are contradictory. Contract states we would have venue staff on the day of the event, however, we only had Daniel who monitored inside and one security officer who stayed in their vehicle the entire event. The rest was our guests, catering company staff, Our DJ and did I mention the freezing spaces Management stopped by for a quick introduction (first time meeting them though this rental is overpriced) during our event... I advise folks to request numerous walkthroughs and meet management or owners prior to full commitment . Beautiful space but I was let down by lack of consideration from management...
