We are a small company of 25 so finding a affordable venue for a party of 50 was difficult, until the Ascension was suggested to me. I couldn't have been happier with the outcome!!! The food was delicious, the wait staff-attentive and the venue/location was fabulous! I was able to adjust the menu to accommodate dietary preferences, which is a HUGE plus. Parking was easy and valet service was offered. Russell, Melody and the entire team were awesome from start to finish! The Ascension is definitely on my list of venues for future events.

Ascension is AMAZING!!! They are definitely in a class of their own. The attention to detail and quality of service is truly hard to describe. They went to great lengths to provide the best experience for our rehearsal dinner.

They were extremely sensitive to our food budget. They asked all questions in a very efficient and stress free manner.

We went through 3 or 4 menus with them and they were able to accommodate everything that we dreamed.

Venue

We had between 35 and 40 guest and sound and atmosphere was perfect. The space is capable of attenuating the sound of 40 people to a level that is ideal for conversation. So, if you have group of rowdy aunts this place will allow them and everyone else to have a good time.

The venue was arranged so that the we sat in the front area with the buffet set up around the corner in front of the bar.

Horderves were served at the bar.

Food.

Full bar! Excellent bartender (the entire staff is first class). Hummus with vegetables and pita, fantastic cheeses.

Wine - (I love wine) I explained the types of wine that my wife and i enjoy and they delivered! The knowledge and understanding of this place is fascinating.

We had Rotisserie Chicken, Coffee-rubbed Steak and Salmon. All of it first class.

Staff.
First rate! Professional! Attentive!


They have parking.

It is the perfect space for a rehearsal dinner! The space is spacious while still feeling intimate and cozy, and the food and service was excellent.

Wasn't sure what to expect as I arrived. Yet, at the entrance I was received by the wonderful Sierra, and filled in on exactly what to do! This dinner would not have been as smooth, without the great coordination of the staff at Ascension. Will be sure to keep in mind for my next formal event.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
