Alexander Room and Terrace

The venue was absolutely amazing! This was the one and only venue that my daughter and I visited when choosing a venue for her wedding reception. It was exquisite! Cindy did everything in her power to fulfill every wish that we had and went beyond our expectations to make it the wedding she has always hoped for. The food and staff were amazing! The Alexander Room and Terrace gave us the most beautiful memories to last a lifetime!

Where Wedding Wishes Come True

Cindy, the Fairy Godmother of Brides, is always there for your. From the first time I contacted her about our daughter's wedding until now (two months after the wedding), she is quick in replying to any question you may have. She becomes your friend. Always there for you. She has amazing suggestions. Late night bite? No problem She will wave her magic wand and your guests will devour the delicious truffle oil fries prepared by her amazing chef husband before their departure from this most spacious venue. Beautiful outdoor terrace! Gorgeous and huge inside space. More than enough room for all of your guests. She knows so much and listens to every single word you say. Our guests are still raving about the food, the service, and the room. The dance floor wrap she suggested was the icing on the cake! Our florist, photographer, and videographer all said how much they enjoyed working with Cindy! I am forever grateful to this beautiful family for making our daughter's wedding wishes come true!

The Alexander Room

This venue is a hidden gem! I fell in love with it after meeting Mrs. Cindy and touring the room. I loved the idea that I was having my reception at not only a beautiful venue, but one that was operated by such a loving family. Mrs. Cindy puts so much time and attention into weddings that it makes you feel as though your wedding is the only event held all year— even as she was planning/hosting her daughter’s wedding there. She was open to my ideas and ensured ways to make them happen. The food was absolutely delicious, and the ice cream bar was a huge hit at the end of the night! I had a last minute issue with flowers, and Mrs. Cindy made it her priority to fix the arrangements to the exact look I was envisioning. She truly takes care of every detail/concern to ensure that your wedding is everything you wish for. I can’t thank Mrs. Cindy and Mr. Troy enough for going above and beyond to make sure that every detail was perfect for our wedding!

Amazing Experiece!

Wonderful attention to detail! The owner met with us several times to review every detail. Everything we discussed with the owner Cindy prior to the wedding reception was executed beautifully. Professional staff were always handy to help the event run smoothly. We were able to enjoy the festivities and let the Alexander staff take the reins. I highly recommend this venue to handles any celebration!

Two words: Food and Flexibility

It's been a month and to this day I can't get over how perfect our wedding reception was. Cindy and her staff's ability to transform that room into whatever we desired was simply incredible, especially for how particular we were about certain details. I can't get over how intimate and beautiful the place was with plenty of room for everything. Any worry we had about a vendor, the Alexander Room staff had a reference or an answer on the ready. We had used a ton of their recommendations and we were more than satisfied. Their staff is attentive, their food is AMAZING, and there was never a line at the indoor or outdoor bars despite the 300+ guests we had. Overall, we couldn't have asked a smoother planning process or a more a perfect night.
P.S. Once again, the food was amazing.
