I just want to say thank you for the grand service I received here at my last event . The staff…read morewas so wonderful, from the moment I planned my event here til the last person walked out we were treated with the upmost respect , all our needs were met and exceeded ! The waiters and waitress did such an amazing job tending to my guest and making sure everyone is fed and has everything they need at any given moment . My decorator was spectacular! I love all the hard work she put in to make my event really POP ! Nela I want to personally thank you for always coming and showing out ! All I had to tell her was the vision and she brought it to life ! It seems like this event hall had everything we were looking for and still managed to exceed our expectations! Will continue using this event hall for many more special occasions! I definitely recommend Opal event hall for everyone's special occasion!

I've never had such a horrible experience like with this venue ! Pls stay away from it…read more.. I very recently had an event and i chose to get a package so first the waitress were stealing my stuff, they were rude to my guests! There was trash all over in the venue The decoration lady whos name Sonia is really bad at decorating and at putting up with what you agreed with... So when I complain to the owner (the couple) they hardly believe what I was saying even though I had proof of it As pics and videos... The communication with them is horrible! I'm not happy at all with the venue and I DO NOT RECOMMEND IT AT ALL save your money and look for other places

This is an Affordable and Attractive venue with an Attentive coordinator!…read moreMy daughter had her reception here and while you may find other venues that are lovely they will all be missing the "Gerise Factor! " - She was upfront and honest on pricing. - She took our needs for a totally gluten and dairy free menu VERY seriously and it was delicious. - She answered emails and phone calls promptly and allowed multiple visits to the venue to visualize and try out items in the space. - Other vendors raved about her and the culture of the venue as well. We had around 170 guest. We filled up the ballroom but with the space of the house and the beautiful yard and patio people had plenty of places to mingle and visit. 173 Carlyle is a great value and much of that value is because of Gerise! It was great to know we could depend on her.

We kinda went in blindly with Carlyle House for our wedding. And by blindly I mean - we didn't have…read morea chance to taste the food beforehand, we liked what we saw on the tour but it wasn't set up for a wedding, rather a holiday party, and at the venue-booking stage of the planning I had absolutely NO CLUE how wedding crazy I would become in the following 6 months of planning. You see, I'd planned to have a simple wedding. I didn't care about all of the frills (at first). I just wanted good food, good drinks and the people we care most about in attendance. And Carlyle House made everything easy. They could customize my linens, we had a great choice of food and they were willing to let me bring in my own cupcakes. Add all that to the super cute old house that has an add-on ballroom and I was sold at first glance. Gerise - the on-site planner - was awesome. I never felt like she wanted to kill me after I would send her one of hundreds of emails with questions as I worked my way into becoming a minor bridezilla. She choreographed the rehearsal perfectly and was even better on our wedding day. She made me not regret hiring a wedding planner because she seriously did it all for us. In the end, I did turn into the bride I never dreamed I would be - personalized aisle runner, flowers I never wanted, a candy buffet and cute little signs I thought I could DIY and ended up hiring out. And even though my then-fiancé made the mistake of actually calling me BrideZilla a few times (he obviously has never seen the show with the REAL bridezillas), our wedding was absolutely PERFECT. Even my always-disapproving-of-everything mother-in-law loved it. And that's more than any praise I can give anything in this world. The food was great - better than we expected. The drinks were great. The night was great. And we are now Mr. & Mrs. Kim. That is sooo great!

ZERO STARS!!! My younger sister had her wedding here 08/20/22 and literally the day of rehearsal,…read morewe were told by the owner that we would get the whole day to set up and rehearse but they had people coming in and out during our rehearsal, taking pictures of my sisters engagement pictures and the set up. It was truly unprofessional, rude, and annoying! The DAY OF the wedding, the worker/coordinator from the venue, this blonde lady, had another party come in and she asked one of the bridesmaids when we would be done doing our last minute set up bc the otparty wanted to rehearse like REALLY!?!?!?! Rude and unprofessional. The worker had the audacity to ask us not to put the petals on the side of the aisle because the other party didn't want it there. My sister paid for the venue to be used for a whole day and we did NOT Get THAT. My sister's now husband, also emailed the owner about the inconveniences and unprofessional behaviors of the staff at the venue and they never received a response. It has been exactly 1 week now. If you're thinking about renting this venue for your event, expect the owner and workers to be unprofessional and rude. It's all about the money they get for this place. Expect double bookings and other people coming in and out while you're trying to set up, rehearse, and expect others to come in THE DAY OF your wedding, asking when they can rehearse. This place in simple words, sucks.

First time here! A friend of ours got married here today and it was beautiful! I never knew this…read moreplace was here and I've traveled through Lawrenceville several times and never knew it was here. From what I'm told they host several parties, weddings, dinners, etc throughout the year. What caught my eye was the rustic door and iron trimmings . The white/grey brick walls are beautiful. Beautiful rustic chandeliers and candles throughout the venue. The sitting area is like a living room :) nice chairs, tables, lamps, pictures, etc.... There are several tables/chairs outside for guests. The parking lot holds about 80 cars. The reason it's called 550 Trackside is bc the train runs right next to it:). At the time of the wedding no trains were on the track. I'm not certain if they have caterers on site but the caterer that prepared the food was awesome! He prepared stuffed fish with shrimp/spinach/peppers/onions. Delicious!!! The yellow rice was perfectly seasoned and fluffy. The Mac & cheese was delicious - 3 cheeses! I didn't try the grilled chicken but I'm told it was good. I'm considering having my birthday party here:). If you're in the area or just looking for a nice reasonable venue check them out.

My wife and I have been married almost three decades, and in that time we've attended a lot of…read moreweddings at a lot of venues. In my humble opinion, Koury Farms was absolutely perfect for a small outdoor wedding. The wedding we attended as guests here sat approximately 72 people in the reception hall using four tables plus an additional 2-person table for the bride & groom. I believe there was enough space to accommodate one more table of 18 comfortably and still have room to move around. The center of the event space was open for dancing while the right side featured a gift/cards table, charcuterie grazing table and a photo booth. The outdoor wedding area was just to the left of the reception hall on an elevated, covered wooden deck overlooked a small vineyard. The seating was pew-style and featured wooden plaques placed at the base quoting scripture as well as a sign that read "Pick a seat, not a side - you are loved by both the bride and groom!" Attached to the reception hall on one side was a small space with a bar and catering tables for food and drinks, while the other side was closed off as a private space for the wedding party. I assume this is where they took their bridal photos. Overall it was a beautifully simplistic venue with lots of country charm. It's an excellent place for vow renewals with an intimate crowd of family & friends.

We brought Cheryl with Bows & Bouquets on to bartend for our daughter's wedding in October 2023…read more Cheryl is amazing! Her personality is so fun and genuine! She was definitely a highlight of the reception! Our guests kept telling me all night how great she was! Cheryl is super easy to work with and communication prior to, and during the event, was a breeze. She set up two areas for after the wedding ceremony, one for the happy hour, and then one for the reception itself. She created a signature drink for our daughter (peach margarita), which was delicious!! If we ever host another event, Bows & Bouquets will be one of our first calls!!

All of the girls are taken into a dressing parlor filled with what looks like 100 gowns in every color. They are sorted along the wall by color and size. Under them are princess shoes in every color too. The girls pick what they want to wear and then go tot he jewelry box to find jewels, boas, you name it. The super friendly staff the does the girls hair, makeup, and nails. They then put on a fashion show and walk the red carpet. Next, it's tea time at the heart shaped table. They eat get individual teapots of pink lemonade, crudités and tea sandwiches, pizza, and other snacks. For dessert,they get a plate of sweets. It was a wonderful experience and worth the drive!! I think it is by appointment only, so you will want to call. Again, awesome staff that really make all of the girls feel special.

*** Updated Review ***…read more Not even 24 hours after sending the owner of this establishment feedback, she contacted me to thank me for the feedback. She also assured me that she would be ordering superhero costumes for girls immediately. I appreciate her prompt attention to the matter and the fact that she was so open to hearing the feedback. We'll definitely be back!!! ******* I have now had the pleasure of attending two birthday parties at this facility and have several recommendations to improve the party going experience. As the mother of a 6-year old daughter who adores superheroes, I am saddened that they have no female superhero costumes. Instead, each time I have come to this facility, my daughter -- who doesn't like princesses -- must make the choice to either "grin and bear it" in a princess outfit or wear a superhero outfit designed for boys. This needs to change. It is 2018 and we should be empowering our girls by not limiting them to these choices. My other major recommendation is that they forgo the outdated "boy vs. girl" treasure box. This is another unfortunate ritual that furthers the stereotypes. I watched in disbelief last week as my daughter was informed that she could not have a sword because it was from the "boy box". So, instead, she settled for a consolation prize -- a tiara and wand. Again, I am all for children expressing themselves and do understand that many little girls love their princesses. I'd just like to see them further diversify their costume offerings for girls... especially given that they have so many examples to look up to now, whether princesses or superheroes.

The menu was such a wide selection, I was able to build it and they worked with me to make it exactly what my daughter requested. When arrived, they were completely professional from arrival to departure. The staff was so friendly and helpful.

Made Bride and Groom a To Go Bag. All leftover food was neatly packed up and presented. Everything was cleaned spotless. I am so pleased and would recommend them to anyone needing a caterer as a number one choice! Will definitely use them again. The customer service was over the top from all! Thank you!!
