1 Star - Deeply Disappointed in Our Experience at Core Event Center (Irwin, PA)…read more Our organization, the Hempfield Spartan Youth Football and Cheer program, hosted our annual banquet at Core Event Center in Irwin (100 Colony Dr.), and unfortunately, the experience was incredibly disappointing from start to finish. The evening before our event, we were informed by the event coordinator, Joe, that our setup time would be delayed from 8:00 AM to 9:00 AM. While inconvenient, we adjusted and rearranged our delivery and setup plans accordingly. However, when we arrived at 9:00 AM the next morning, all doors were locked. After multiple calls, we learned that the chef -- who was responsible for letting us in -- had overslept. We weren't able to access the building until 9:30 AM, which significantly cut into our already limited setup time. Upon entering, we discovered the banquet hall was still filled with leftover decorations and items from the previous event, and the seating layout did not match the floor plan we had been provided. Instead of immediately setting up for our event, our volunteers had to spend valuable time cleaning and rearranging the room ourselves. Once the event began, things continued to go downhill. We had clearly communicated that our event would include both adult buffets and a kids' buffet (chicken tenders, mac & cheese, corn dog nuggets, and penne pasta), since this was primarily a children's event for ages 5-11. When it was time to eat, there was no kids' buffet provided. Only two adult buffets were set out, and when the children didn't eat the food offered, much of it was wasted. By the time many parents reached the buffet line, the food had already run out -- just 30 minutes into service -- leaving several tables of guests without meals at all. In addition, soda and nonalcoholic drink stations were not maintained, leaving the kids with limited options unless they stood in line at the bar. This created unnecessary confusion and frustration for both families and staff. To make matters worse, when concerns were brought up to management, rather than offering a sincere apology or meaningful resolution, we were met with excuses about miscommunication, staffing, and scheduling. The owner did not take accountability and instead offered to "take money off" by removing items (like chair covers) that were already supposed to be included in our package. As a nonprofit organization that works tirelessly to create special experiences for our athletes and families, this entire situation was extremely disappointing. What should have been a joyful celebration turned stressful and disorganized due to poor management and planning. We truly hope Core Event Center takes this feedback seriously and improves its communication, reliability, and professionalism moving forward. Based on our experience, we cannot recommend this venue for large group events or banquets.

First time here on last Saturday for a baby shower. Wow! It's beautiful and very comfortable…read more Parking is around back, but I parked right on Frankstown Road. Entrance is also around the back. Very nice deck and air conditioning was very cool. Very deceiving from the outside.

You know what's great about attending an event for your friend, finding a nice place you have never…read morebeen to before and being pleasantly surprised by how good of a time you had while there. That is the case with this space right here. From the outside it doesn't look like much, but once you enter the doors you are amazed by everything. For my review I can only attest to the downstairs portion of this place as that was where the event was held. The upstairs, from what I can tell from pictures from their website, looks cozy and welcoming. The downstairs is a big space that you can hold quite the event in it. It may not look big from the outside, but once you are inside you can tell that there is more than enough space for any even to be had. On other thing about the downstairs portion is that you have a small deck area to hang out on near the entrance which adds to the size of this place. Lighting can be controlled so if you want to have an intimate area all you need to do is dim the lights. Ample space for a DJ to set up, buffet table and dance floor, and still have room for many tables for your guests. The only thing that might need some work here is the people that work the front door. They weren't so welcoming and it felt like there was some judging going on when this was your first visit to the establishment. Some of the guests that attended the party I was at felt as if they weren't welcome as well when being told that this is a "social club" instead of asking if they knew where there were to be going. Some simple signage might help in the future as to what party is being held where.

Went to this concert venue for the first time Saturday night to see Thievery Corporation, and what…read morea great night! Love this small venue. Parking wasn't bad - we found something across the steeet (on street parking). There's also a lot behind the place. I'm guessing this fills up, fast, but we got there fairly early. They opened the doors on time - at 7pm - and we weren't in line too long waiting for our ID check and wrist band (they could use more than *one* poor guy doing this, btw). I don't love this segregated/upcharge thing most venues seem to be doing nowadays, but at least the general admission SRO areas in this place have decent views. We grabbed a spot just behind the sound/lighting guys in the middle of the GA area. One note --- our friends who bought into the standing area right by the stage ended up joining us 1/2 way through, because they said the audio was blasting them. The place is nicely restored; has a good bar area with a better drink selection than many places we've tried in Pittsburgh. Hubs & I each got a hazy IPA, and he also got a big pretzel (which was ok - a bit too doughy for my taste). WOWZER those 3 things were expensive: **$43**!!! We decided to consider it a donation, so places like this can stay open, but oooffff. $$$$$$$$ Sound, lights were great. Staff were friendly. We'll definite be back.

Truly such a gem in Verona…read more The main selling points for me: - BYOB (pay extra for a permit) - BYOF (so hard find) - 5-hour rental time (perfect for set-up & clean-up) - Includes tables, chairs - Has a kitchenette with fridge, counter space, sink You can complete the entire booking process online which is literally the most convenient thing ever. It's such a nice space, minimally decorated and pretty! You can visit for a tour by connecting with them and it's all self-serve. They'll email you a door code an hour before. That's the same process for your event day too - you get a social door code and you're set. Truly a great experience and will definitely be booking them again!

OMG people are still talking about the food weeks later and if you have an event do yourself a favor and upgrade to the beef brisket I think it was and don't forget the roasted potatoes- heaven. Also the complimets we heard is about the staff and we agree. The staff was not only quick and efficient, you had no idea that they were there. "how was my water glass never empty" was a comment we heard often. The space is also just beautiful and helped make our difficult day that much easier and memorable. Oh and out front of the building they had, on their sign, a message saying "Celebrating the life of (mom's name)". Nice touch.

The owners, Lenny and Dean and Amy, the Manager, were fantastic to work with and made the event everything we dreamed of. We felt very welcome throughout the planning. Cefalo's is a beautiful place to hold a wedding ceremony then dine on fantastic food cooked up by Dean and served by his staff in their dining room. After dinner, you can spend the rest of the evening partying the ballroom. They offer all the services, (or can recommend) you need when planning a wedding. For us and our guests, it was super convenient and easier to have everything for the wedding in one beautiful setting. The food, the hor's d'oeuvres, and entrees was amazing. There's also a huge bar attended by professional bartenders. The food servers were friendly, professional and very attentive. We received so many compliments from our guests on both the food and service. Many said that was the best food they ever had at a wedding! So, if you're looking for a top notch, First Class venue to have your wedding, look no further then Cefalos.
