"This was my second event here, the room was the perfect size for a party of 100 with extra.decor, even though it holds more guests. The bartender during our party was nice and the police officer was professional! I loved the kitchen because venue provided us with warmers for food which was nice and the kitchen was stocked with the little details that matters such as, aluminum foil ,cleaning towels, etc. Last but not least my favored they allowed ample time to decorate with no extra fee!!!!!! AND THE BATHROOMS WERE CLEAN THANKS STAFF"
