From the very beginning, the…read moreentire team was incredible to work with -- patient, responsive, and genuinely invested in helping bring our vision to life. Since we were planning a smaller wedding in a larger space, we had a lot of questions about layout and how to make everything feel full and intentional, and they helped guide us every step of the way. Having the catering, bar, and rentals all in-house made the planning process so much smoother and less stressful. Everything was seamless on the wedding day, and the staff went above and beyond to make sure everything looked beautiful and ran perfectly. The food and drinks were amazing, the space was stunning, and we received so many compliments from our guests. A huge thank you to Lauren, our day-of coordinator, and Shaneil, our night-of coordinator. Somehow, anytime we needed something, they seemed to already know before we even had to ask. Their calming presence, attention to detail, and genuine care made us feel completely supported throughout the entire day and evening. They made everything feel effortless so we could truly be present and enjoy every moment. We are so grateful for the care, professionalism, and kindness their team showed us throughout the entire process. They truly helped make our wedding day everything we hoped it would be and more. We would recommend them to anyone and everyone!

For over a decade, I have dreamed of Gala being my wedding venue. When my now husband and I did the…read moretour, it was our first and last. We immediately fell in love with everyyyyything. Fast forward, the entire staff was amazing!! From Mariah dealing with my type A/B personality effortlessly LOL (LOVE HER!), the bar staff listening to our requests and being so personable, the food being hot at dinner, the room flip being exactly what we asked for, our little surprises staying as such until it was time for them, I could go on for days. Our wedding was LITERALLY the BEST day of our lives and it wouldn't have been without this amazing team. We were able to be present and enjoy our day, free of any stress. Our guests echoed the same sentiment and they say it's the best wedding they've been to. We are so thankful to the whole fam at Gala 417! We hope to see you all again! Go on the tour!

I'm not a huge drinker or one for that matter, but since the event was expensive, I went for the alcohol version. It did not disappoint! There was a peppercorn drink, and some fruity drinks and one with espresso beans and they were soo tasty and yummy!! Sound and lighting were perfect if you utilize it for your event. I wouldn't say the event place itself is bad. It's just outdated. It's very much stuck in the 90's era. It was the place back in the day! But they are doing something right because they have been around since the 80's! However, I will say it's very clean inside and the ballroom large, dependent which ballroom you're in. I don't think I noticed a ramp to enter the ballroom. There are a few steps down, a plateau then another few high steps into the ballroom it was held. They had staff shine a flashlight on the steps and verbally inform us to watch our step. The bathrooms were clean with plenty of stalls and I noticed a baby changing station available. I do wish they did renovations to their parking lot because it looks rough. Don't fret, if you don't see parking out front or the sides of the venue. I was not aware they had ample parking in the back. If you drive to the left of their building and turn left at the fence there are plenty of spaces, but the lot itself could benefit from some attention.

The food was amazing! Lots of flavor and plated well. Great customer service, and valet was a plus!read more

Our waiter, Jimmy, was attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely enjoyable to talk with--a true professional. The view was superb, and the room itself felt warm and cozy. It's truly unfortunate that it's a members-only club, because I would dine there far more often if I could! Overall, I give the entire experience a big thumbs up. For anyone considering joining a club, this one offers many wonderful aspects that are well worth looking into.

3.5 stars out of 5. Positives,…read moreOur Lesner Inn representative, Noel, was extremely helpful and professional. Great to work with, flexible, and had a genuine concern that our day went the way we wanted it. The venue is very nice and the decorations make for great evening ambiance. It was just what we wanted. Noel was able to coordinate additional decorations from a previous event without charging us which we really enjoyed. The outside deck gives good views of Lynnhaven inlet as well. Service during our event was great, not intrusive and professional. Starting out with 5 stars because of Noel and her staff. Negatives, Food quality is about a 3 out of 5 stars and not representative of the price you are paying. Most items were clearly pre-made food service items that were re-heated or deep fried. Chicken was a little dry, sauce was pre-packaged, shrimp were fried or baked from frozen with sriracha sauce drizzled over them and labeled bang bang shrimp, apps were pre-made food service company items. We were disappointed in the food at the tasting, commented that we wanted the kitchen to step it up, but ended up with the same crap food for the event. Minus 1 star. They charge a service fee to pay with credit card here. I don't appreciate a business passing on the fee that a credit card company charges them so that they can offer that payment method to their customers. It's a slimy business tactic. If you're going to nickle and dime me for your costs, just build it in to your prices and then offer a cash discount. Minus .5 stars. Overall, we really enjoyed our event and our service was great, but the food is cafeteria quality at best. Fortunately, most people were distracted enough by the event to not care, but we definitely noticed.

We were booked into the inn by a client who wanted to make our first visit to Suffolk a memorable one. The home is a true Southern belle - a grand dame of historic mansions. It has been so lovingly restored and is perfectly appointed. We had so much fun exploring every inch of the home and absorbing its character. The proprietor (and very talented chef) Ruth has mastered the art of hospitality, inviting us to truly make the home our own. She didn't mind one bit that we planted ourselves in the reclining leather chairs in the stately octagonal library with another couple and yakked enthusiastically until the wee hours. After a blissful night sleep, breakfast the following morning was a marvelous affair. We prepped a coffee for ourselves at the Nespresso machine (fantastic!) and meandered around the grounds until the heavenly smell of baking croissants lured us to the elegant, light-filled breakfast room. Usually an eat-and-run proposition for us, we lingered for over an hour enjoying the delectable food and the conversation with the other guests. The charm of the house and its gracious owner had worked its magic - we were refreshed, satiated and inspired. We departed with great reluctance but the spirit of the Truitt house hung about us for the rest of the day and onto the next as we traveled home. You do not want to miss this unique and unforgettable travel experience - 5 gold stars!!!

The mansion, built long ago, has been restored and updated in every category. I've stayed at lots of B&Bs to find them "charming but in need of modern updates." This place has that without losing its original charm from 1909. Because I'm here for work, I'm purposely spending all my time at the house when not on location and I love to be able to move from study to library to the atrium and other rooms in order to read and for a change of atmosphere. Every room is unique and has a story. You'll love Ruth who will make your stay feel like you've come home to the family estate. Breakfast is made to order and she loves knowing what you like. Casual and comfy. Two words to describe the experience in this amazing, palatial mansion.

We recently held a Breakfast at this center and their service was below average. Due to management change they didn't uphold agreed upon things on our contract. We asked for two buffet lines due to the amount of people we had and the time we had the venue for they could not honor that. We arrived the morning of 1) our event name was spelled wrong on the display screen 2) the room was not setup 3) there were unset tables 4) chairs were dirty 5) they let the food run low on the buffet and 6) the parking is horrible. I seriously doubt that we will use this venue again.

I organized the guest list, center accomadations, and funding. That being said, in this post I will discuss price ,service and quality.

The event Coordinator, Geri, was very kind ,accomadating, and professional. She was quick to respond to emails and voice messages, which is important becuase I have a hectic schedule.
