My colleague, mentor and friend's book launch and masterclass was debuted here and what an event it was!! This community center was the perfect venue to launch such a spectacular book. There is ample parking, spacious rooms, and a great location to host any event. Please checkout the book "I Forgive You" ... it can change your perspective on human interconnectedness and interpersonal relationships! If someone wronged you and is shutting you out as punishment, this is their internal traumas showing in physical form... if communication isn't an option just forgive them. "There is psychological and emotional freedom in forgiveness."

There were tons of stunning vibrant chandeliers in every room. The place felt pristine and clean. The service and food was amazinggggg!!! I also love the fact that you can bring in outside caters, this was one of the best wedding food experiences I had because they could bring someone in. Not sure what pricing looks like but I would deff look into booking them in the future. The only thing to mention is, there wasn't an outdoor area that I saw that could be potentially nice for the actual ceremony. Also, I didn't see a ton of decor but I'm assuming that was the brides choice and not the venue. Honestly, the venue speaks for itself so a ton is not needed. There were so many photo worthy spots as well. I saw about 4 rooms and each were beautiful. There's space to get ready as well for both wedding parties. The reception was gorgeous.

The table cloths kept blowing off. If you are decorating the patio, have clips or tape. The party was catered. There was a variety of items. There was an assortment of veggies & dip, meat & vegetarian items and chips & salsa. There was also a beautiful cake. The bar had limited alcoholic and non alcoholic options. There are probably different packages available. The room was a bit small for approximately 85 people. The patio was a nice addition. The acoustics were decent. There was live music. The bathrooms were small. I did not notice if there was more than one bathroom. The parking lot was huge. We had a great time.

If you go on YouTube, there's footage of one of the large columns that fell over a couple years ago. Thank goodness no one got hurt. It's an antique, and while the new city patch doesn't show it, let's take a look inside. Restored with love for years, a lot of people have weddings here. I doubt I'll do that experience again, but cheers to all who do, as this would be a good location. Parking is for the most part a cinch too. The interior is well taken care of. The lower part is good for music, while the upstairs sometimes has paint exhibitions.

However- I'm very disappointed in your leadership to schedule one server on a Friday night. She was spent- many covers, kitchen backed up, terrible service because of leadership.

Some advice- scheduling one more cook and one more server would make us returning patrons, but not at this brand. Poor practice.

And when you only want half a beer, a self-service beer bar is the way to go! But first, I ordered a crazy-delicious spicy BBQ chicken sandwich to anticipate while I chose my beer. I decided on a light lager, which paired perfectly with the Korean-style spice of the ginormous sandwich. All I can say is: YUM! The vibe here was pretty quiet on a lazy, super rainy Saturday afternoon. It was a good place to eat a meal and do some phone scrolling before heading to the airport.

We did our ceremony in the large grassy area in front of a big tree, cocktail hour on the back terrace, and dinner upstairs in the main room. With ten guest tables and our sweetheart table in the corner we had plenty of space for the DJ and a good size dance floor. We had a buffet and bar downstairs (this could be an issue for older guests to get down the stairs). Because it's a county park it is significantly more affordable than any other venue we considered. They recently did some renovations and the bathrooms are now very nice-bright, clean, spacious (unfortunately there are only 2 bathrooms, but I don't think this was an issue for the number of guests we had). We had a fantastic wedding here and have lots of beautiful pictures from the day. I highly recommend!
