We attended a wedding at Florian this past weekend, and thought it was a pretty great venue. Everything seemed well-organized. The wedding was outside. Right after the ceremony, we were ushered to the cocktail lounge and patio for drinks and appetizers. The apps were good, bruschetta with a balsamic drizzle (nice touch over plain bruschetta). After about an hour, the ballroom opened and we were able to be seated. The fixtures and furnishings were nice and well-kept. Dinner was great, too. Nothing fancy, but it was tasty. (The fish was really well done!) Overall, I'd definitely consider hosting an event here.

Either the kid working at night is padding his pockets or they change their rates on a whim. The worst part? He doesn't tell you you're being overcharged until you're paying at the end. It's a shame, my family and I just moved to Waterford and we love to bowl. It seems this place is being held hostage by an employee or two. We will be going to Alpine Lanes where it's $14 for two hours with shoes for Cosmic Bowling, as advertised.

When we booked the Valerie it was still in the building phases and we only had the pictures of the visions Matty had. We are so glad we believed in Matty's vision because the venue is breathtaking. The venue just insanely beautiful from the suites, to the ceremony space, to the reception space, to the bars, and even the bathrooms. The communication the Valerie provides is top notch! They are always quick to respond which is amazing when you are planning the wedding. Matty is always willing to help whether it's with giving recommendations or helping answer questions. He also makes contact with the vendors you chose to talk to them about everything you need to know about the venue! The day of the wedding was amazing, Matty and the point of contact helped so much to keep the day running smoothly. The bartenders were also amazing. My husband and I have said many times over how we wish we could come up with another event to throw just so we can book this venue again!

Facility: ***** Atmosphere: *****…read moreParking: ***** Food and Spirits: can't rate full menu Staff: ****1/2 We have been here twice for a fund raising event so the review is about our experience for that and not a wedding which I would assume is the bulk of their clientele. For your event, what are you trying to do and have? Overall our experience as a guest was very good. Lots of off street parking, clean and well kept building, professional staff, and good heavy appetizers. From a services perspective it was good not great and here's why. The table staff was great but the bar staff was overwhelmed both last year and this year so in that perspective it was consistent year to year. Our event had almost 309 people. A larger event. The bar is nicely designed U shape to provide guests plenty of space. There were two bartenders and both years it was a tremendously long wait to get a drink. I've had experience working in this industry and bartended and I was trained to watch who walks up next to better serve the guest who is next. That didn't happen last year. This year our group decided to form a line so that it was fair. We stood in line for 20+ minutes to get our first drink. In terms of business, saving a third bartenders wages over selling more drinks and providing faster service is not a good model. Otherwise the staff was wonderful, accommodating and friendly. Again our food was heavy apps so difficult to give a review on the quality of their menu but what we had was good. Chicken skewers, cheese, sausages and veggie spanakopita. Wine selection was average but that's the type of selection you get here but the price for a glass or bottle was fair for the quality of wine. Fully stocked bar and they even concocted a drink for us and part of the profit for that drink went to the fund raiser which was nice. Overall , it was very nice and if you are looking for a banquet hall for a large party you should check them out. To me it is comparable to (former) Country Springs or Western Lakes but perhaps a notch below. Above The Loft of Cedar Ridge. So hopefully that gives you an idea. Next time I will post more pictures and update my experience.

My daughter picked Tuscan Hall for her wedding…read more Its an older building and there are a few cosmetic issues but my daughter was adamant this was the place she wanted so I agreed and we booked the date. I will say that Amy, the Manager was easy to work with, very responsive to the bride and her staff was A+. So many people complemented us on the food, it was incredible, everyone loved it. This past May we got our Mother's Day meal from Tuacan Hall catering, delicious, I would recommend. And in March we bumbed into Amy at a pre-covid event, my husband and I said hello to her and right away, she knew who we were and mentioned our daughter's name and wedding date. A nice benefit of working with Tuscan Hall is they have trusted vendors that they will recommend for photography, flowers, DJ sevice, etc. It makes those decisions much easier.
