The Ballroom at the Ben was fantastic for our wedding event. Ott was very responsive to our needs in the months leading up to the wedding and kept on top of everything. The space is amazing and beautiful and the food is fabulous! What more could you want? Everyone was so complimentary that night and I heard from many people that it was the best wedding they had ever been to!

Perfect Wedding
My husband, daughter, and her fiance looked at nine venues and none compared in beauty, menu choices, space flexibility and professionalism. We first met with Stacy, who is so pleasant and knowledgable. Once we went to contract, she guided us through menu options - which were so plentiful, seating layouts, and all of the amenities. Then, she worked seamlessly with our wedding planner. A month prior, we met with Ott, who's role is everything: the logistics of the entire event flow through him and he doesn't stop for one second. From the coordinator, catering director, lighting designer, ceremony coordinator, go-to-guy for every vendor and everything else. Just call him the most efficient general contractor you will ever meet. In the middle of it all, he stopped to make sure that my husband and I tasted everything, special culinary requests were attended to, and the bride and groom were taken care of. Just thinking about how much he handled still makes my head spin. Now about the food: it was nothing short of divine. The cocktail hour included perfectly prepared lobster tails, lamb chops, oysters and even vegan selections. Chilean Sea Bass (just one of the main course options) was the best I've ever tasted. Our friends and family have very high standards, and everyone told us that three was absolutely nothing we could have done to make the evening more perfect. Thank you, Ott, Stacy and Finely!

Fantastic Experience!
The staff at Ballroom at the Ben made my daughter's wedding the event of a lifetime. Their professionalism and graciousness was superb! Every one of my guests raved about the cocktail hour, the dessert room and the main course. The food was delicious and arrived promptly and hot! I highly recommend the Ballroom at the Ben and give it 5 out of 5 stars! I was so happy we selected this venue for the wedding of her dreams!
