My only "complaints" would be 1. the lighting wasn't dimmable so it was pretty bright throughout the reception and we didn't have a DJ; created our own playlist...their speakers didn't get very loud. But for real....if that's the worst thing...whatever! I'd do it there all over again!

I didn't take a picture of the art space because I think one is already posted but I will come back just for that area with my 5 year old, looks like they have everything you could imagine to create. This place is genius!

My daughter, who is 5, jumped right in and loved all the toys. It was nice and busy, but not too much so. Did I mention, the coffee shop next door delivers here! They also have art classes and a dedicated art area. I do believe there's also a sensory friendly area if you're kid is overstimulated or just doesn't like allot of noise. You can also buy a multi pack for a discount. The price for a play session was less than $15, and you can stay as long as you want until close.

Check out the New Town web site for all kinds of events - flea markets, fireworks, festivals, kid's events, and lots of entertainment. Since most people in New Town walk all over the place, the parking is always good, even for large events. People are welcoming and friendly. Check out the wine bar, coffee shop, diner and grocery store. Take a walk around the parks, fountains, lake, and other water features. Go to church in the adorable chapel. New Town is family friendly, and just a fun place to visit!

I came here for a wedding last weekend and fell in love with this venue. The town is based on…read moreSeaside, FL, which I absolutely adore. I've been there twice and plan to return asap. For those of you who aren't beach experts like me, Seaside was the site for the movie The Truman Show. While New Town is a bit too cookie-cutter perfect (some people were saying eerie), the Italian-style bridges, the fountained lakes and the stone cutouts for bonfires are nothing less than charming. It happened to be a chilly night so I was glad for the little venue selling hot chocolate and cappuccino. I spotted a diner, sports bar, church and market all within two blocks of each other. There were also two sand volleyball courts, and games continued until midnight. The idea of New Town and others like it is to be able to walk to any place you would need within a square mile. It's sort of like living in a bubble with all the necessities: furniture shops, clothing stores, a spa, recreation, a book store, music store, etc. Quite a beautiful bubble, though, I must admit...

This is a top notch venue, with great service, beautiful grounds, and a lot of interesting things to look at! We had a small party (around 50 people) and all of our guests raved about it. We had a gorgeous afternoon/evening, and our guests were happy to mingle on both the covered deck and the patio, as well as stroll around the grounds and down to the huge lower patio. All of the mentioned places have a beautiful view of the Mississippi and bluffs. The kids at the party LOVED running all around and watching the tugboats and barges on the river. We brought a bunch of things to occupy them and literally got nothing out, as they were happy for the entire 4 hours running around the grounds. The venue provided the set up, linens etc, as well as the bar services. They recommended a caterer, Gregory's Creative Cuisine, which we used and were also thrilled with. They also provided security for parking, as the parking is on the street (though there is a long drive where you can drop off and pick up guests at the door). The security guard was very friendly and helpful. I believe he was an off duty or retired police officer for the city as well. I'm not one to feel nervous in the city but it was a nice touch. As a bonus, the welcoming committee was a quartet of beautiful chicken ladies, which also thrilled the guests! Overall, just a wonderful experience. I would highly recommend this venue for an unforgettable party. I know that the guest of honor and our guests won't forget it any time soon!

You can comfortably seat 24 with space to mingle indoors and 24 (six tables of 4) outdoors. The garden patio is lovely and it was nice that it was covered and offered ceiling fans to keep the humid August air moving. I was disappointed in the lack of communication from Neil. I sent emails, but he never responded. I called a week later and someone told me he was out of town. He should get an auto-response for his emails if he plans on leaving town. He also said he would have the space set up (tables and chairs arranged) the night before my event, but when I arrived that day he was still in the process of setting up. That took time away from decorating the room and setting up the food buffet. Be aware the table linens they offer are the size of table toppers and only hang down about 3 inches, so plan on ordering your own table clothes. Overall the space is nice and the price is reasonable, but the coordinator is not very organized.

We recently had our wedding ceremony and reception at Trigg Banquet Center, and I genuinely cannot…read moresay enough about the experience. I say this from a different perspective than most reviewers because I worked in the banquet and event industry for years. I know what it takes to execute an event well and how quickly little things can go wrong. I have never seen an event executed as flawlessly as ours was. Our guests were impressed, our families were amazed, and most importantly, my bride was treated like an absolute princess. Our experience with Trigg started about a year before the wedding. I had attended events there before and always had a memorable time, so I recommended that my then-fiancée and I meet with them. We had already done tastings at other venues. They were nice, but pretty much what you'd expect: us, our moms, a chef or event planner, an empty banquet room during business hours, trying to imagine what the room would look like during an actual reception. Then we went to Trigg. They offered us a private tasting, but we attended one of their monthly tastings instead, and it absolutely blew us away. The entire room was set up like an actual wedding reception: DJ, photo booth, lighting, bar, buffet displays, passed appetizers, different table and linen setups, centerpieces, hotel representatives for room blocks, plus recommendations for cakes, flowers, formal wear and other vendors. Instead of asking us to imagine our wedding, they actually showed us what it could be. Even our moms were in awe. We tried the food, used the photo booth, heard from vendors and met the owner, Terry, who personally went around introducing himself. And the food was phenomenal. Having worked in this industry, I know there's a huge difference between preparing a few great tasting portions and producing that same quality for a room full of people. Trigg proved they could do both. By the end of the tasting, both our moms were telling us to book. We couldn't book fast enough. Some of our original dates were taken, and Trigg worked with us to find alternatives. They offered the DJ, Chiavari chairs, reasonable bar packages, fantastic appetizers and several great dinner options. The hardest part was deciding what we wanted. For the record: Beef Tenderloin and Chicken Marsala. Great decision. Later, we met with Tommy to finalize our menu and details, and then there was Chef Chessa. We gave her a challenge. Our guests included vegans, vegetarians, gluten-free guests, people with shellfish allergies and diabetics. She didn't treat a single request like an inconvenience. She exceeded expectations for every one of them, in some cases preparing specific plates for individual dietary needs. That's above and beyond, and it meant a lot to us and our guests. Roughly two months before the wedding, we ran into a scheduling conflict with the church and were struggling to make the timeline work. Trigg suggested having the ceremony at the banquet center. I'll admit, I was apprehensive. I didn't want to inconvenience our guests or create an awkward transition between the ceremony and reception. Instead, Trigg made it completely seamless. The ceremony ended and drinks and appetizers began almost immediately afterward. The execution on our wedding day was seamless, flawless and flat-out impressive. We had Teams meetings beforehand, selected our songs, prepared our programs and established a timeline. I even managed to get us about ten minutes behind schedule, but their team never lost control of the event. Wedding-party introductions, dinner, prayers, speeches, cake cutting, first dances and everything in between stayed organized and flowed naturally. Their staff moved with a sense of urgency, which, having worked in this industry, I can tell you is something you don't always see. Terry personally checked on us during the reception, as did his team. Our DJ was fantastic and even honored one particularly important request from the bride and groom: not a single Taylor Swift song was played the entire night. To each their own! My wife wasn't stressed. She was treated like a princess. She was able to enjoy her wedding instead of worrying about what was happening behind the scenes. It truly was one of the happiest days of her life--and mine. I've never heard as many compliments during and after a wedding as we got about ours. Guests were still talking about it the next day. Trigg accommodated our guests. They even let my Dobermans be part of our day. But most importantly, they understood something that sometimes gets lost in all the logistics of planning a wedding: the bride wants to feel like this is her day. Trigg made absolutely certain that it was. Happy wife, happy life--and if you want to start yours off right, I would recommend booking Trigg Banquet Center as soon as you can. Trigg helped give my wife the wedding day she dreamed about and gave both of us a day we'll never forget. Five stars doesn't feel like enough.
