Planning a wedding on a budget can be a tricky task, but the Heritage Ballroom made it so easy! The team was really flexible, helping us come up with an agreement that made sure we got all of our priority items included while still sticking to our budget, and they helped make sure that every detail was planned so they could be there for us on our big day. The room was the perfect size for our 120 person wedding (but could easily have held many more), and it looked beautiful on the day of. The true gem of this venue is Walton Island, the use of which is part of the rental fee. It would make a beautiful site for an outdoor wedding, but as we had a church ceremony, we opted to use the island for an outdoor photo shoot. We were there for over an hour taking amazing shots - the landscaping is great, and the whole island is full of unique backdrops that make for great photos!

We got married in September on Walton Island and had our reception across the street at the Heritage Ballroom. The same people organize both venues and we had a wonderful experience with them. Our site coordinator, Leah, was friendly, helpful, accommodating and easy to work with. She was also very calm and laid-back, which is a great influence when you are a stressed-out bride! The whole event went off without a hitch, thanks to Leah and our caterer (see review for Cuisine America). We chose to use the preferred caterer because we had some friends who gave us good reviews for them. I'm so glad we did...the site and caterer do a lot of events together so they worked together seemlessly. As for the locations themselves:

Walton Island was a gorgeous location for our ceremony. The landscaping is very well maintained and there were beautiful plants and flowers everywhere. We had just over 100 seated guests and there was plenty of room for that many chairs under the gazebo. Since it is a public park, a few times when we visited the island, there were homeless people camped out under the gazebo, which concerned me a bit. However, they left without a fuss when we did our rehearsal and they were nowhere to be seen on the day of the ceremony. The train tracks run right next to the river, which concerned me as well but they are just short passenger trains that go by quickly. We didn’t have any issues with them, except that one ended up in a family picture.

The Heritage Ballroom was a great space for our reception. The color scheme of the decor is not ideal (salmon, pale yellow) but it is much better than most hotel ballrooms I've seen. Once it was all decorated (our colors were black, white, and apple green), you hardly noticed the clashing colors. The pricing for rental and bar was very affordable as well. I still can't believe how much we got for what we paid. The pricing is all listed online so they can't do what most places do and jack up the prices when you say the word "wedding". All in all, we had a great experience with this venue and I would definitely recommend them to anyone, expecially a couple on a budget.

We had an awesome wedding thanks to the Walton Island ceremony and the reception at the Heritage Ballroom. Our coordinator, Anna Moretti, was great and extremely responsive.

This was the perfect place to have any event. We had our wedding here and it was beyond perfect. They exceeded all of our expectations and were an absolute pleasure to work with. We highly recommend the centre and hope to have the chance to work with them again soon.

You must check out what a beautiful facility that the Heritage Ballroom can transform into for a gorgeous wedding reception. The people are fantastic, the room is spacious and the view is breath-taking. I can honestly say I have zero complaints, and I would not have changed a thing about our magical wedding day!

We worked directly with Lena V. who provided us with outstanding service. She was efficient, organized, professional and extremely personal. She helped everything run so smoothly. She answered all of our questions no matter how big or small. She also offered suggestions as to which vendors we could possibly use and gave us a lot of wedding literature to help us plan our special day. The Heritage Ballroom was wonderful with accommodating us for both our ceremony and reception. The transition between the ceremony and the reception went smoothly and everyone commented on what a great facility it was. My husband and I also loved the use of the outdoor gardens/river for our pictures. They turned out perfectly and the background almost looked fake because it was so beautiful. The entire staff was helpful and polite. I would highly recommend this facility, and Lena V., to anyone who is looking for a venue for their wedding. Our experience with the Heritage Ballroom was refreshingly amazing.

We had a difficult time with the poeple that work at the venue. They were not giving our guests water at our wedding during the reception saying our caterer should be responsible-a detail a bride should not have to be concerned with. It was a very hot day in July with spicy food. Finally they got some pitchers of water to our guests after my maid of honor threw a fit for me. The day of the wedding we had to go to a plan b option. They did not think of anything-I had to ask all of the questions and our guests had to come up with most of the solutions. Its a beautiful venue for the amount of money. The package deal that came with was great-but we had to fight the coordinator on every aspect to make sure we got everything that we were paying for through our package. EVERYTHING. We are still fighting them on the deposit we were supposed to get back.

Sue & Lena were great. Heritage ballroom offers quite a lot of space and service for a small price tag. I really was impressed the day of the wedding how smoothly everything came together. Sue was great about making adjustments and rolling with unforeseen circumstances. I would highly recommend the Heritage Ballroom.
