Disclaimer up front; I did not pay for this event…read more This definitely looked like amateur hour operation. A shame, there is so much potential with minimal bling and training to make spectacular events with spectacular results and profit. This business is definitely the low end of the spectrum on performance. Venue. The building looks to be able to accommodate close to 200 in a tight fit. Ant that is some of the set up problem. The ch airs in the event room are narrow and set so close together people are nearly on top of one another... not comfortable and lets face it, the crowd is bound to have a fair number of people that are overweight and wider than the guest's child that attends. Spread the chairs out a little more. Likewise, they crammed too many tables into the dining area. There was no room for guests to get in the back of the tables without having three other guests from the adjacent tables get up and move out of the way.... more on this unfortunate choice when I talk about the waitstaff service Decorations. This is a positive. The company uses inexpensive solutions combining white chiffon cloth draped with a right amount of LED lights behind for a nice effect that is easy to set up or change from event to event without a huge investment. Cash Bar. Cash bars are money makers without adding to the package expense other than the bartender. However this bar under charged and under performed. First the bartender must know the basic drinks but no need for complex cocktails. But serving in plastic dixie cups is a total miss for an formal event. Go to a restaurant warehouse and buy glassware... it is cheap. Then charge 6-7 for your drinks instead. Charging 5 per drink not only shows you failed to price point the bar offerings but also sets up for failure with the bartender tips; most people will pay with a ten or twenty and unless you set up the bar with enough to dole out 5 ones each time, they'll walk off without tipping. Food. Honestly my chefs on the submarines can out cook what was offered by a long shot. The meal was not coordinated in either color or texture. The modest portions were not an issue but the poor quality was. The plate was bland colored and bland in taste. The chicken breast was overcooked. The corn was simply reheated from a can. And the tasteless pasta was a white as a ghost and probably with as soulless a flavor. I could have my team turn out a much better product with no appreciable cost increase. Waitstaff. The waitstaff is under trained. They interrupted events to stack dishes so high and block seats that it became clear the wedding party was an inconvenience to them. For serving, the poor layout left them passing everything to the guests on the inner side of the table and expecting the guests to pass everything around like family style at the Walton's. Big failure for a formal event. Tablesetting. Again, for no more significant investment the delivery could have been much much better. The large 12 person tables had only one set of condiments. Tables that large any respectable caterer knows you need at least two full settings. Likewise, the table was essentially naked aside from table cloths and centerpieces. Tablesetting 101... put out a centering plate and dress the table for a formal event. And put out pitchers of ice water and possible ice tea. Its shabby for a formal event to tell the quests "help yourself to the soda bar in the back alcove". I could go on but I am not going to give you all the solutions how to run a successful event business. Instead, I am seriously considering opening one close by and for no more appreciable cost increase, show you how its done. It really wouldn't take much for an entrepreneur to scarf up all your business with little effort and a lot more polish for formal events than what I saw today. Two stars was far generous for this venue.

We were pleasantly surprised at how nice the campground is and well maintained. There is a pool, a lake in the back for fishing, 2 kids parks, a mini putting area, and lots of open field. No noise from traffic, you are close to Hartford city if you need anything (just don't go to the McDonald's). Lots of other campers here that seem to have annual stays. We choose spot 108 because it was in the back and pretty secluded, no one else ended up staying at the closer sites and we had the area to ourselves. Picnic tables and firepits at the sites. They also have buddy campsites. We didn't use the wifi but it was accessible. They also have a rec area and have campsite chat nights, games, and all the fun stuff. Great place and would stay again!
