It was raining that day and they opened their doors for prom photos. Fast forward four years later and the venue was still as welcoming and beautiful as I remembered.

That's cool to me, but the real draw for me are the doors which slide sideways. They have one set leading out onto the grass and two others leading to balconies which look out over the road. I also love the brick facade. They have a little kitchen area and only two or three stalls in each restroom since the place itself is on the smaller side. But it can fit almost 300 people.

The facility was clean, beautiful, and welcoming, and the pricing was very reasonable. I highly recommend The Occasion Event Venue. Thank you both for helping us honor my sister so beautifully.

The GPS was a little misleading, but Avon Acres is located on Summer Ave BEHIND Central BBQ. The venue is clean and very spacious, with an outdoor area, interior prior to entering, and very ample space for the event of your choosing. There is regular and wheelchair accessible parking in front, but a larger parking lot is between Central BBQ and the gate before entering Avon Acres. We also had food. It was catered, but there was an area she had for creating beverages, so I imagine there's an area in the back for food preparation. To be honest, I am not sure of the cost, but I'd definitely consider this venue if you're planning for a very large crowd.

Soooo much amazing history. The house is absolutely beautiful. A lot of work has been put into it to keep it this well preserved. "The house was built in 1840 by Joseph Chalmers, the District Attorney for Marshall County. He was the father of James Ronald Chalmers and H.H. Chalmers and uncle to Jefferson Davis. It was designed as a two-storey, hip-roofed house. It was purchased by E. B. Horn in 1900. He paid $10.00 down in December of 1899 and remaining balance of $690 on January 1, 1900. Horn turned the house, which was facing East, to face North after his wife refused to live in the house because it faced a hog farm. He also redesigned it in the neoclassical architectural style. Shortly before World War II, in 1938, the house was purchased by the McAuley family. Mrs. McCauley was asked how she liked the house and her reply was "This will do me". What started as the "this will do me" house became Thistledome." It was acquired by Jill and Todd Maxwell in 2012. The couple turned it into a restaurant/coffee shop/venue."

It's a great environment and a good place to grab a drink after work or just because. One might think that would constitute 5 stars, but time after time I've been here, the service continues to be subpar. It is not difficult to be pleasant. Try harder. I always feel like I'm inconveniencing the gentleman bartender who works many of the nights. I'm sorry you have to do your job; mine sucks sometimes too, but I manage a smile and a polite demeanor. But seriously, go. It's worth it.

Holy moly! That view!…read more I attended the Special Olympics dinner here a year or two ago and was completely blown away by the view (especially at night...all those pretty lights!)...and yesterday (during the day) was no different (GORGEOUS!). I've heard rumors for awhile now that they a happy hour and it has been on my short list of things I want to try it. Well, yesterday I had a meeting in the bar area at 4 and decided to ring up a few friends after it was over to fully experience their happy hour. And honey, I'm so glad I did. Their house by the glass is only $4 and well liquor is $3. Tower Center, I think we're going to get along just fine (especially since my office is literally next door). But what really impressed me (besides that view), was the food! I am super picky about my cheese plates and not only was it pretty to look at, but it was yummy to eat (kinda important). And the chicken wings? Yes, please! They were so cute and tiny and delicious! I've actually never seen pretty chicken wings but somehow they managed to do it (no seriously, check out my photo). I also stole some bites of my dining partner's french fries and they were indeed just like I like 'em. And the pizza? Phenomenal! You've got to check out my food porn pics! They also rent out the venue space so take a peek around!

They had a different area to relax, eat, and taste all the specialty wines and liquors. The atmosphere was nice and beautifully decorated.

The tastings were broke down into two different sessions. Which worked well with the overflow of the crowd and both crowds had fresh foods to sample.
