We had small evening wedding (50-60 guests). We had our reception at Beggars and it was phenomenal! The private room was perfect, and even has it's own bar. We did a variety of appetizers and had a full open bar. The entire experience was fantastic, food was delicious, all employees we interacted with were amazing. We were able to bring in our own cake and cupcakes. Craig was spot on with his estimate for the cost of food and drink for the night. I honestly can't say enough about how amazing he was to work with. We received many compliments on our venue choice. In a heartbeat, I would choose Beggars for another event.

We held our rehearsal dinner at Beggar's Banquet and it was perfect! They have a back room with a private bar which was perfect for us. They had multiple food options, we chose a buffet style dinner with 2 main courses and sides and the food was excellent!! All our guests raved about it the food and service. They were very accommodating with the bar service too, we were able to do 2 drink tickets per guest then an cash bar. Would recommend Beggar's Banquet to anyone looking for a private room for a shower, rehearsal dinner, etc.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
