It's off of Virginia Beach Blvd behind other shops, very easy to miss. It's a one story venue with a big area to hold all types of events. There's also a dance floor and bar area. From what my friend said, there's package deals that includes decoration, lights and food that is very reasonable. There's also an area space to get married, to have that one stop shop. Overall it's a good space

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 It's just outdated.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.

What an absolutely beautiful venue! I instantly fell in love with how this establishment is set up…read moreand decorated. There is not much needed to make any event here shine. There is parking up front as well as some street parking surrounding. This is located inside of a neighborhood so beware of speed. I attended a wedding here and felt like it was perfect. There was ample room and i adore the 'brides room' where us bridesmaids were able to hang out and get ready with the bride. I would definitely love to be invited back to an event here and would recommend to anyone looking to have a wedding in the Hampton roads area.

Love, love, love the Historic Obici house! This old home that belonged to the Planter's Peanut…read morefounder was on the verge of being demolished but Mr. Roundtree who runs the Sleepy Hole golf course stepped up and helped to get it renovated and turned into a restaurant and Pro shop. Since the location is out of the way, the restaurant being open to the public as a regular restaurant didn't work out but now it is open for special events (you can find them on their website or Facebook page), parties or weddings. I miss being able to just go there for dinner, enjoy the view and the beautiful house but understand why they had to change the operation. The food is worth the price, the staff is friendly and they are happy to show off the restaurant and allow you to walk around and check it out.

I have mixed emotions about this review since on one hand I was glad to see that the Obici House…read morewas saved, while on the other hand, I didn't like how it all happened. I don't like that they tore down the detached Carriage House that was also on the property. The House is beautiful and unique with history. I am perennially disappointed with the golf course and I have been to only one function in the House since it was restored. The food was nothing remarkable and the service was even more non-descript. I don't know what they charge for functions there, but I thought that maybe they would have improved the surroundings a bit more to accommodate the status of the Obici House, the surrounding out buildings, clubhouse, 18th hole and driving range. It looks like they did the bare minimum to the house. I don't want to tarnish this review too much since I haven't been there for an official event within the last year. I noticed that they are having an open house soon and I plan to check it out and update my review. I would recommend that if the price seems to high for your event, then pass on Obici House until you start seeing better reviews on the service and food.

There are business owners and then there are ultimate professionals who own businesses. My…read moreexperience with The Blaque Room was nothing short of amazing. Every conversation, every touch point, every interaction was top tier. No phone call went unanswered. No text message missed! Just top tier customer service. I didn't walk into a space needing it to be cleaned. I didn't have to keep asking unanswered questions. The entire process was seamless. If you're looking for a space that offers you more than building, chairs, lacks customer focus, dedication and care for clients... This is NOT the place for you bc Kisha Lee provides all of this with precision. It was such an honor to host my PRE BIRTHDAY BASH at your venue! Thank you for absolutely EVERYTHING!

As the bride and groom, we wanted to create a truly unforgettable environment for our big day as…read morewe've been told it goes by in the blink of an eye! We were fortunate enough to receive a recommendation from our wedding venue, Norfolk Botanical Gardens, for an incredibly talented catering team, East Beach Catering, who exceeded our every expectation! We interacted with a few different team members from the East Beach Catering, and what struck us most about their team was their ability to capture, transform and bring to life the ideas we had for the vision of our wedding palette without missing a beat. Their attention to detail and artistic eye brought out the smallest, most tender moments that may have otherwise been overlooked. We received so many compliments about the quality of food and service provided by the East Beach Catering team! It's 52 days later and our guests haven't stopped raving about the delicious food they received! Chelsea and her team are not only masters in creation, but they are also true professionals. They arrived on time, maintained a friendly and approachable demeanor, and made every small detail look perfect. The level of communication provided by the East Beach Catering team is impeccable as they were always willing to answer a text, email or call whenever we had a question, so we knew we were in good hands the day of the wedding. They even went above and beyond to assist us in providing a full alcohol shopping list (even when we chose not to use their bar services to save money). They were also true champions to set up (and move from one location to another in between events) many different catering options throughout an outdoor wedding, on July 12th, in Virginia! During our tasting, the East Beach Catering team provided many different ideas and suggestions to make sure we could bring our vision to life in the best and most efficient way possible while staying within budget. They were always willing to take feedback (without taking it to heart) during the tasting and were more concerned with making everything 100% perfect for our big day. They asked an abundance of great questions throughout the process to get a feel for what were our absolute "must haves" and even suggested some things we hadn't thought of. They took great caution to note allergies and food preferences for guests and even ran some of our favorite cocktail hour hors d'oeuvres to us while we were in a separate location working on getting additional bride and groom portraits. Working with Chelsea and her team has been an absolute pleasure from first contact until the end of the wedding day. Their exceptional talent, professionalism, and dedication to their craft makes them a stand out choice in the world of wedding catering! We wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone seeking extraordinary tasty wedding sweets! - The Canavoses

I started communicating with Cathy (the kindhearted and fearless leader of the entire operation) via phone calls and e-mails and felt that we would be a great fit together. My husband is in the military and we tried to work out a taste test session that could include him, but it just wasn't going to happen. She was so understanding that he couldn't be there and was fine with me bringing my friend in his place! The tasting really sealed the deal and made me even more excited for the big day than I already was! The food was delicious, the presentation was beautiful (which was very important to me), and the customer service was top tier! It was an all-around fabulous experience leading up to the big day. On our wedding day we were so thrilled to see it all come together and it exceeded our expectations in every way! We are about a month into our marriage and we still have guests contacting us telling us how delicious the food was...the appetizers during the cocktail hour were a HUGE HIT!! My husband got to try everything for the first time just as the guests did and he was extremely satisfied and is still talking about how tasty and perfect everything was! We highly recommend East Beach for any event that you might have! Delicious and gorgeous food, the perfect bar set up (very important to us!), and an extremely patient and hardworking staff...what more could one ask for?! Thank you so much to Cathy and the entire East Beach Catering team!!
