I attended this venue last month for a wedding…read more The wedding for about 100 people. The ceremony took place in one room and immediately after we moved to one of the ballrooms for the reception. Everything was set up from start to finish executed very well I'm not sure if the caterer was someone working at Grand Affairs but the food was pretty good. I did notice the ladies there walking around making sure that things were in order throughout the wedding which was refreshing to see and being a guest there it looks like no hiccups were made. Plenty of parking. The restrooms were tidy. I think this is a lovely venue to use for an event. Have fun and enjoy life

And just expect to pick something you like and colors the day you book, and she will set everything up to make your dream come true. If you want a hand in things or to get a pre-look at everything, don't do it here. They want to have free rein. The building is not wheelchair accessible. One of the bridesmaids was in a wheelchair and had to me lifted into the venue in her dress. There is no where to take pictures of the bridal party or families as it is in the middle of a block with a big parking lot in front of it. Severely overpriced. The kids booked the venue for their wedding in April 2024. They were sent a "Proposal Contract" but never an actual Contract. This concerned us from the start. So, they paid their 50% deposit and started working on other things. One huge thing that they should have been told was that it was Hampton University's homecoming, and the parade makes a U around the venue. Being a professional and knowing something that big happening should have been told to them. Their photographer and videographer barely made it before the ceremony started. They go no pre wedding photos. In the meantime, in August, I contacted Betty to get some referrals for catering, which she never sent to me. Even though she told our planner she did. As the days came closer and we were getting down to less than a week, my daughter was informed that it would take them about an hour to change the room over for the dinner settings. What do you do with 80 people when the majority of the space is being changed over. They suggested horderves. I spent another $600 unbudgeted money for extras. Had this been said in April we could have handled it a different way. Three days before the wedding I started looking at their social media accounts and noticed no cups or utensils in the settings. I called to ask. First, I was told that the caterer was taking care of it. My daughter had already told her it was a themed buffet and the caterers just deliver. She then changed it to they are having "unconventional" catering they would put out plastic items. So, three days before the wedding, I had to start rush ordering the food items needed. Another thing not budgeted. Again, why are they not paying attention or even writing down conversations. My daughter also asked for the dancing area to be in the center of the room. She was told they didn't really do it that way. She cried to me about it. I gave my concerns to our planner, and she called Betty, the conversation was far from professional. At one point our planner said "we can speak to each other civilly" she said she had told my daughter she would do the dance floor, which was a lie. She asked to see a setup of the tables then was hung up on . Within minutes, Betty was on the phone with my daughter's new husband about how they didn't trust her and she was not speaking to our planner. And that they saw the tables in April. This added so much stress they didn't need. Who remembers then?!? The next day they suddenly had a video "walk through" of the tables. The kids said she was just rude the whole time. But they didn't want to lose their $3500 deposit. I wish we had just lost it. She didn't hire a florist and put the bouquets together herself. My daughter had asked for a cascading bouquet, but it was round. And very fake looking. We are all really trying to figure out where the $7500 worth of things were. The kids did have a great day. Bur when you pay that amount of money for a venue, you expect much more professionalism and more for that amount of money.

Because the store is closed on Saturdays -- when many parties actually take place -- I specifically asked twice if the balloons would still be fully inflated the next day. I was clearly told, "yes, they will be fine." The order cost $75, so I trusted that assurance. Unfortunately, by the next day one of the balloons had already deflated. I tried to resolve the issue directly with the business before leaving a review. I have called four times and left a voicemail, hoping to discuss a partial refund, but I have not received any response. At this point it feels like my calls are simply being ignored. This situation is very disappointing. If a product may not last overnight, customers should be told honestly so they can plan accordingly. Ignoring multiple calls from a customer trying to resolve a problem is unprofessional and not the way customers should be treated.
