Unfortunately our table was called up to the buffet line and they were out of six items on the line. I had to wait for 10 minutes before they brought out the food for the six items that were missing no beef no rolls no bacon no salad no fried onions no mushrooms, it was make your own cheesesteak when I asked the woman that called our table. She blamed it on the kitchen. I feel sorry for the chef because the food was exceptional and on point they just did not communicate with the kitchen that they were out of food. The desserts looked lovely, but they ran out before I could get any, it's unfortunate to have point on excellent food and a great chef but the buffet line didn't have the food it was in the kitchen .

I attended a wedding reception at the Chase Center this past weekend and it was fabulous. The venue…read moreis enormous; there were two weddings taking place at the same time and we never crossed paths. There is a huge parking lot and the Center conveniently connects to the Westin Hotel, which was a no-brainer for guests who over indulged at the festivities. There was a separate ballroom for cocktail hour and the actual reception, and it was more than enough space for 180 guests. The main ballroom is beautiful with a large dance floor, bar, and plenty of room for round tables, a DJ stand, dessert bar, etc. The staff had service down to a science. Hors d'oeuvres during cocktail hour were continuously replenished, dinner entrees were served one entire table at a time so that no one guest would be left without food, and I never had to wait more than a few minutes at the bar for a drink despite the constant line of guests. What really surprised me about the Chase Center was their catering. You don't hear this often, but the food was AMAZING. The cocktail hour had passed dishes such as bacon wrapped scallops, crab cakes, and pork belly, all of which were extremely popular. The bride and groom also selected the Pan Asian station, which should be at every wedding. It featured chicken skewers, dumplings, tempura shrimp, various sushi rolls, and dipping sauces. I couldn't help myself, it was all so good that I hardly saved room for dinner. My entree was steak "medallions" which were really more like two entire 3 or 4 ounce fillets. They were perfectly cooked delicious. There were also vegetables and mashed potatoes in gravy, and despite being way too full from earlier everyone around me cleared their plates. My only complaints are minor. Those who paid for the wedding were disappointed that they could not box all the leftover food. We understood it's not a restaurant, but if food is completely paid for and prepared and served in-house it shouldn't go in the trash. Also, the staff promptly locked off the bridal suite adjacent to the ballroom after the event ended, leaving bouquets, clothing, and other items belonging to the bridal party stuck inside until the following Monday.

I attended a wedding reception here recently. While nothing was catastrophic or overtly terrible,…read morethere were a lot of things about this venue that could have been improved. The indoor venue overlooks a sprawling golf course that is well-kept. Unfortunately, the entrance to the indoor venue is shockingly low-key. No ambient lighting, no classic ambiance, and barely 1-2 office plants in the hallway. If you were blindfolded and dropped off in the lobby, you would have thought you were in a 90's office building rather than the wedding venue of a country club. The coat check room was open with no one manning the station. The staff for the cocktail hour was polite and helpful. The food was average with nothing truly standing out, but nothing really bad either. The bar was not what I call a fully-stocked bar: No milk/cream for mixed drinks, no vodka, no Jameson... and at two Long Island Iced Teas I should have been at least a little delightfully tipsy but was stone-cold sober, so not very strong either. The reception staff, while polite, started cleaning up unused coffee cups and drinks an hour before the end of the reception, which was not very hospitable since I was waiting to be done with my wedding cake slice before looking for the coffee. It felt like they were eager to go home and clearly wanted you to be out of there early. Unfortunately, it's just not a very impressive venue.

They were incredibly responsive, answering my millions of questions! The wedding prices are a bit pricey, but totally worth it with everything it includes. Our guests ranted and raved about the amazing cocktail hour, the open bar, and the amazing buffet! I'm still in awe of just how easy and streamlined everything was on our big day! I'm so grateful.

Planned and hosted an anniversary party for our parents at the end of June. Yasmin and the entire event planning team are amazing! They are extremely thorough, helpful in providing recommendations when thinking through particular details (e.g. decor and layouts), and just have the best energy that makes for a positive experience at every step of the event process. And the day-of staff are great also! They were all so professional, showed a bit of personality when interacting with me and other guests and were all very attentive. This time, we had the half ballroom given the number of guests (~50 people RSVP'd), but the full ballroom is available if you have a higher guest count. Everything was so great that many of the guests have been asking about this place for possible parties/milestone events they want to host in the near future If you are looking for a venue that provides you with excellent service and support when planning your special occasion - and is reasonable in pricing when considering private venues - this is the place to check out! I highly recommend it!

Nearly every family member commented about how beautiful the venue was decorated in purple, white and silver. Also, we found the location without any challenges and there was plenty of parking.

The owner worked beautifully with our caterers and even rolled up her sleeves to ensure our event was perfect! I'm unsure when the next opportunity will be for our family to host something there, but I'm looking forward to it. Thanks Ms. Reba for a fabulous event space.

The event space is very nice . It's a blank canvas for the most part that you can really create…read morewhat you want out of it . I went into the venue to meet the owner over a year 1/2 ago when I visited the store next to it . She had the doors open allowing visitors to come view the space . She was very nice and sweet . She was excited , and what I thought at the time very professional. I've sent multiple ppl to her over the last year cause I loved her energy. She probably wouldn't remember me cause she is in contact with so many ppl but I always remembered that I would have a party at her venue if I had the chance . My family hosted a 60th birthday party at Fabulous events this weekend . I don't know if she was having a bad day or what but she was so rude and unprofessional, I was disgusted and disappointed. She was nitpicking at every little thing we did as far as set up and making really offensive remarks . She was irritated at something . It's one of those things that's hard to explain and understand, like why is she being so rude ?????? Even at the end of the night , it was like GET OUT . The man she had with her did ask how our night went but she did not. As far as I know , it's her venue so I hold her to a high regard. The person who we gave the party for was a stroke victim , who was still in recovery and we just wanted to celebrate her still being here with us for her 60th . Plus It had stormed so bad before our event that it set us back. We had a large amount of ppl coming to us from Philly, Delaware , NY and even Raleigh NC. So our event started at 5 but honestly ppl didn't get there until 6/630 cause it rained so bad. The owner was back at 10pm sharp and walking around huffing and puffing and making smart comments about what she wouldn't do and would do if this was her party. She made us feel very uncomfortable. Not welcoming at all. There was a moment while cleaning up that my sister in law was about to snap on her for being so rude . Honestly I would never recommend, refer or use this event space ever again. I was one of the ones shouting for ppl to go here . I own two very popular businesses in the same area , so I am in contact with so many ppl on a daily basis. I pride myself on love , customer service and professionalism. In the last 5 years Of being in business I would never make my customers feel so uncomfortable and unappreciated. We paid our money to be there . We went over and beyond to make this happen for the person we wanted to celebrate. And to have such a nasty demeanor was disgusting. The venue is nice , but there are other venues in the same area where we have had events at , with better aesthetics and was treated with so much more respect. She should humble herself a bit. I just really wanted to support this venue cause of how I felt before when I met her . Ppl show their true colors eventually.

I was part of a wedding that took place at Brantwyn. The estate is absolutely beautiful and the…read morecatering was very good, but as someone who used to work weddings at a venue similar to this one, the service was not quite up to par. As a member of the wedding party we arrived at 7am to begin getting ready. Unfortunately our first impression of the venue was a very bad one. A continental breakfast buffet was supposed to be set up in the bridal suite, and when we walked in it was absolutely infested with ants. Ants on the pastries, in the fruit, on the table cloth, and walking in and out of the coffee pots. It made us wonder how long the food had been sitting out prior to our scheduled arrival and how on earth that many bugs were already present. It took a long time to be able to find any worker to deal with the issue, and even longer to rectify it. An employee sprayed Raid all over the tablecloth before taking everything away, so that smell lingered in the air. It was nearly nine by the time we got all the food and drinks set up again. Dinner service was also very slow with long wait times for some tables in between courses. Some tables were finished eating before others began. It took two and half hours to serve salad, entrees, and desserts for roughly 80 guests, which left less than an hour for music and dancing. Despite the snafus, the venue is still gorgeous and makes an wonderful backdrop for photos. The grounds are very well maintained and picturesque and the house is classic and lovely. I especially loved the back patio that overlooks the lawn and faces west so you get a beautiful sunset over the trees. The staff I interacted with were very gracious, and the food was very good.
