Tonight we are here for Jazz in your Face, and none of their dinner offerings are gluten free. When I asked if the chicken, at least, could be modified, the gal at the bar said no. But! She went and talked with someone, and they soon found me at my table and asked if I would like an herbed chicken cutlet with vegetables. It was so kind of them to go out of their way to make sure I had something to eat. Everything was scrumptious, and everyone was so nice! I learned that the lady was new - so she didn't know when I asked. But, she took the time to find out. I'm just one little person, but that is excellent customer service, and I appreciate it very much!

This review is for Ace's as a whole. They do offer catering, but this is for the actual physical…read morebuilding that can be rented for events. Let's hit on some of the positive things first. Decent size on the inside that allows for a variety of events to be held within. Decorations make the space look elegant. The dancefloor is a decent size. The bar area is capable of serving a multitude of drinks. The food was on point. Now, let's get into the nitty gritty of this place. Parking is atrocious. Yes, there is a parking lot adjacent to the building and some on street parking. Be mindful of the residents in the area, there are driveways that could be blocked. But also be mindful that Ace's management don't care if the parking lot for Ace's is being filled with vehicles that have an intention to go elsewhere in the neighborhood. If you bring this to their attention, the owner will tell you that they all work together in the neighborhood and that it's not a problem. Translation: not my problem, too bad your guests didn't show up earlier even though we were not open. The bathrooms inside are so small and cramped that you could and can get hit by the stall doors when you are using a urinal. Reminds you of a very old firehall. Or maybe a church hall with no windows. Guests were well behaved during the event. Mindful of the neighborhood. But the owner of the business makes assumptions that the guests "damaged" a planter outside by shoving a glass beer bottle into it, and took to their own personal Facebook page to blast the "wedding guests." Funny thing is, the bar area did not serve beer in bottles and alcohol outside is prohibited. But let's make assumptions to cover our insecurities. Since I seem to be focusing on management/owner here, let's go a little deeper. Be mindful of the card box if you have one for a wedding. I mean it was nice that they secured the box part way through the wedding, but did not let anyone know they did so. Then when you want to retrieve the card box the next day it is like pulling teeth. Or maybe the owner is keeping it as ransom for something. When attempting to reach the owner to set up a way to secure the box you get chastised that he does not read texts while he is out conducting business via the catering business. If that's how you run a business, let someone else do it. You are allowing your personality to shine through and it is not appealing to attract business. Also, be mindful that you are basically in charge of setup and clean up of your own event. And god forbid if you have multiple things going on that would make for multiple trips here. Yes, you did read that correctly, you are responsible for cleaning up after yourself directly after your event. Such a good practice for an event space. Also, keep receipts from this place. Write a check, keep the ledger updated. Receive an email, keep it. If you do happen to get a receipt, keep it. Also, make sure that you schedule around the owner's time as he doesn't seem to understand how life works and that people have jobs. Remember, keep those receipts because once you have paid off the fee, they will attempt to say you are short without proof, so save your proof. If you have a crap attitude and run your business short of a scam, maybe running a catering/event business is not for you. Or maybe you should take a course in personal relations and learn to at least be fake a smile and keep it to yourself like everyone else in the world has at your age.

I am Samantha, an international student from China. As for a bride, I always wanted a Western…read morewedding ceremony rather that a traditional crowded Chinese one. When I studied at Pitt, I love the Heinz Memorial Chapel a lot so my husband and I decided to have our wedding there after my graduation. At first, I thought I could handle all the wedding details by myself to save the money but then I figured out that mission impossible. I would have my wedding, my graduation project and final research paper at the same time! I would be an insane bride! So we started looking for wedding planners and Shari was the first one we contacted. Her professionalism, experienced attitude and thoughtful consideration really impressed us. After a few comparison with other wedding planners, we had Shari's assistant Andrea as our wedding planner. Andrea is the perfect one. She is nice, easy to communicate, thoughtful and very professional. I have no idea of how an American wedding goes like and she was so patient to explain all the details to me. She helped the most when we picking up all the vendors due to my budget. As my husband was working in Beijing, China by the time I was preparing the wedding, Andrea was the most helpful one to me. I can't thank her more for spending the last six months with me. Without her effort, I couldn't have such a beautiful wedding. I had a wedding prepare folder with 12 wedding vendors lists and she was always there when we had to meet with them. We almost spent every week together. I did a dual-language wedding ceremony and reception as our parents can't understand English. Andrea and her team coordinated that point with all the other vendors and we made it! Everything went through so well and our parents were grateful and happy too. For the wedding day, I just felt a little worried of the wedding party as we were not familiar with the American wedding. I knew Andrea would take care the rest of my wedding and make it perfect. I was so busy and anxious by the graduation ceremony on the morning and wedding on the evening. She helped all the other things as we planned and all of a sudden the dream came true. Thank you Andrea for being my wedding coordinator and being there with more as a friend and a sister. I wish you the best as always. 我是一个在匹大读书的国际生，一直梦想有一个西式的婚礼，因为我和我先生都不是很喜欢国内那样有点乱哄哄的婚礼。当我们参观过匹大的亨氏纪念堂以后，就决定要在这里举行婚礼。一开始我还以为自己能操办所有的事情，但看了下计划以后觉得就是变成超人也没办法在同一个时间段内又要结婚又要完成毕业设计还有最后的论文，所以我们就找了Shari作参考。在了解我们的预算以后，她推荐了她的助手Andrea作为我们的婚礼策划。 Andrea是一个非常细心，有耐心和易于沟通的人。我和她说自己不了解任何美国婚礼的习俗于是她不厌其烦地和我解释每一个细节应该怎么做，又代表了什么。在这半年的合作中，因为我先生一直在北京工作，所以Andrea反而变成了我最亲近的朋友和帮手。我们几乎每周都有见面去挑选各种婚礼需要定的合作方或者谈论婚礼细节和安排。她非常为我考虑方方面面，我们很感动。 因为有些从国内来的宾客，包括我们的父母不懂英文，所以婚礼仪式和晚宴都是双语的。Andrea与所有婚礼团队都很尽力去完成这一点并且让这个婚礼完美。我在婚礼当天除了担心一些人员安排以外其他都没有操心。Andrea让我们的婚礼梦想成真。 我想如果在这边的华人朋友需要找专业婚礼策划的话，Andrea和Shari都应该是有经验的可以提高国际服务的专业人员了。个人认为，虽然婚庆的价格和国内来说是比较贵的，但是真的非常值得。整个美国团队都很专业，让我们很放心。也没有什么坐地起价或者多要服务费等情况产生。合同书说的是什么，就是什么。 谢谢Andrea的辛勤付出，祝好！

Sometimes life goes a little more quickly than you realize!…read more Shari recently helped us the day of our daughter's Confirmation. We decided at the last minute to mark the event with a little celebration. We only had a couple of weeks before the ceremony...the date just snuck up on us! Shari's consultation ensured that we didn't miss any details. Her recommendations and suggestions made the decision process so much easier...we could trust what she advised & just go with it because she has so much experience! The day of the event, Shari came early, coordinated with the caterer, & made sure everything was set. It was a blessing in disguise having her that day because the service went long. Some guests arrived before we even got home! The transformation in our home from before the ceremony to after when Shari had everything set up was amazing. We enjoyed the event that much more because she took away my worries about taking care of guests. Instead of rushing around, I was able to relax and enjoy our friends and family and some cake! I'm lucky to say Shari is a friend of mine, but my comments here are completely genuine. Her assistance was invaluable. She made the dynamic of the event much less stressful which was worth every penny...my husband will attest to that! Fortunately for me having an incredible event planner as a friend made it possible for us to enjoy this milestone in our daughter's life.

Our daughter's wedding was held June 29, 2024. The venue is beautiful and well layed out. The…read morebeautiful farmhouse accommodated five couples for the bridal party, and the day of the wedding, the Bridesmaids for hair and make up. Food was delicious! Dessert was pies, and they were delicious. The after-wedding bonfire was wonderful where friends and family relaxed with a drink, s'more and snack choices (by bride and groom) provided by the venue. However, there were several issues that we encountered during the day of the wedding, primarily involving the venue's owner. I feel that Leigh Clark, owner and planner, would serve her guests better if she didn't directly deal with them. From the get-go, while trying to corral our guests to the deck area for the ceremony because of rain, she belittled them and was condescending, making facial expressions and rolling her eyes, while using a microphone.... especially for our group photo. Guests mentioned to us that the staff began clearing the hors'doerves well before the guests were called up to the reception. The first issue was with the dozens upon dozens of our homemade cookies. These were outdoors several hours before the 5 pm ceremony.... many of which became soft and crumbling due to the humidity. No food should ever be left outside, uncovered. Tables were set, and water and wine glasses (for the toast) were filled in advance.... making the sparkling wine flat and the water warm. Furthermore, not one server visited tables in my immediate view...the whole barn...to refill water or wine. Red and white wine were to be served. We were also told that the barn would "be cool, trust me," (Leigh Clark). However, one corner fan was not turned on, the other was broken, and all the windows were closed. It was a hot day made worse by no air flow. I went to reach table stains the windows and told them to open them. It did rain right before the ceremony, but there was time during the ceremony to open these windows and create a cross draft. The flow of the evening was rushed and out of order and not what we had requested. The "money" dance was done first when it was expressly stated during the planning stage that the dance must be reserved for the very end of the wedding. At that point, the bouquet and garter toss, as well as the cake cutting, happened in short order. Leigh felt the cake cutting was an insignificant part of the reception despite us saying that it has been a fun tradition in our family. We also paid to have welcome bags set up for guests to take back to their overnight accommodations. They were completely forgotten, which puts me in a predicament of what to do with them. There are no handicap parking spots and no clear parking spaces. The venue needs this desperately, especially to make easy access for the golf cart shuttles. (Gravel can be spraypainted.) Leigh and her limited staff, along with our paid photographer, thought it appropriate to sit at outdoor guest tables to eat. Staff should never take seating away from guests, especially to eat. Ever!!! Sadly, many guests came to us during the reception, informing us that Leigh was rude to them, not knowing who she was. At one point, Leigh became highly agitated with the parking situation and golf cart shuttle accessibility. She was recorded by one guest exclaiming she was "f......g done." I was also told by Leigh as she carted me to the farmhouse to retrieve a pair of shoes that if I was longer than a minute, she would leave me there and I would have to walk back. (In the heat, in my gown.) When we came in Monday to retrieve leftovers, I was told that although the soft pretzels and pepperoni rolls can leave with us, the graham crackers, marshmallows and chocolate could not because of food safety issues. With everybody touching both the pretzels and the s'mores, I couldn't see where the food safety issue came into play. We paid for these bonfire snacks and left with half of them.

We went on hay rides and rode horses and ate like a feast from the romans! The hospiality and atmosphere has me still daydreaming I am there. A definite recomemdation for any gathering!

I had the great pleasure of visiting HVF for an event called "A Celebration of the Paso Fino…read moreHorse." It was incredible to see demos of this gaited breed that has its origins in Puerto Rico and Colombia to be shown in their splendor right here in the Northeast. The farm has impeccable stalls for horses, a huge indoor show arena with skyklights, an outdoor arena and round pen, all with glorious views of the open rolling hills of the "Laurel Highlands." I can't wait to go back to stay at the elegant but reasonably priced bed and breakfast right on the premises. The day I was there, I noticed they were setting up for a private event, a birthday luncheon on the deck of the guest house with a top chef, live Spanish guitar, and roses on the tables, it looked fabulous, and so romantic. The ideal cozy getaway spot for R & R, or as an event space or party space, HVF makes you appreciate the beauty of the country. Horses + hospitality, a winning combination, with views as far as the eye can see!!
