Dream Wedding!

We are so thrilled we chose to have our wedding at BGF JCC! We spent about 10 months planning it with our coordinator there Raquel, and it was such a great experience. Raquel totally understood the vision we had, and was always such a bubbly, kind person to meet with while planning. We were always welcome to come in and see things, and we felt very comfortable leading up to the big day. On the actual wedding day, I couldn't believe how beautiful everything turned out! The ceremony was stunning with the white draping, our florals were amazing, and everything was set up perfectly. Walking into the ballroom was a dream! I can't get over how beautiful it all turned out, while staying in our budget. So many guests have told us the food was amazing as well! We highly recommend this venue to any engaged couples!

The best venue ever

We had the most incredible experience at the JCC. We couldn’t have done it without Raquel and the team. Every idea we had they made it happen and we’re willing to work with our budget without having to skimp on important details. The food was absolutely delicious. Raquel met every need and was so responsive and we truly didn’t have to lift a finger and we were able to relax the day of the wedding. My husband and I could not be more pleased or impressed with everything they offered.

Thank you so much to Raquel, her team, and the JCC for hosting our beautiful wedding! Raquel was AMAZING and extremely responsive to all our many, many emails/ phone calls. She took the time to make sure she understood what was important to us and she did everything it took to make it happen. From the gorgeous set up of the venue to the delicious food and drinks, our guests were in awe the entire evening. Raquel and her team truly helped make our day perfect and it would not have happened without them. Thank you again!!

Outstanding

Andrea sold us in the JCC due to her service and responsiveness, and attentiveness. Andrea and Jade dealt with our attention to detail, and our requests without hesitation. They are an asset to the JCC that is for sure! Our wedding ceremony and reception went off without a hitch. Everything went smooth as butter! We are forever grateful!

I was the second bride to book this venue and it was everything I could have wanted and more. Jade was so helpful and her assistant Ryan was as well. They met with me every month and helped keep my planning on track. On the day of they were there every minute without being in the way. I felt completely at ease knowing they were there for me. They made a day that can be stressful very easy. The venue was BEAUTIFUL. People were literally gasping as they walked in because they were taken away by how gorgeous the ballroom was. The space was perfect for our 150 person wedding(they can do more). The pictures we got outside the venue is why we picked the place and they came out so great. The old fort and all it's history is gorgeous in photos. The food was also perfect. Everything was fresh, not frozen. I can't say enough good things about this place. They put you first and accommodate your every need. I really don't know what I would have done without Jade and her team. I swear she is a wedding fairy godmother and I would choose this venue a million times over just because of Jade. I know it's a new venue so it's hard to take a leap of faith but I booked this place when it wasn't even finished being renovated and I am so glad I took that leap because it was the perfect place for my wedding. Jade has been in the business for 6 years and knows what she is doing! This venue made my wedding dreams come true!

We initially loved the JCC and the team there but as we progressed with our planning we ran into quite a few hiccups that left us feeling quite frustrated. Most were resolved through negotiations (something I suggest doing upfront) but the day of the ball was dropped on a few things that left a not-as-great impression compared to our initial review. The space is great and you can do plenty with it. Royal Events and Services and Universal Music Entertainment handled all of our lighting, decoration , and floral arrangements really transforming the space. The manager was there the day of and very present- she loves what she does which helps a lot. Overall we had a great day so the frustrations gradually were put aside. Pros: large space, great entry way with large LED monitors for slideshows, coordinator and cake included and outside vendors welcome for some services , the food was amazing and plentiful, ample parking, there’s a stage (although we didn’t need it, it was a great option), staff is very personable.
Cons: Sometimes slow with communication, some original agreements didn’t hold and negotiating was tough, members of the facility are present and roaming around and there may be a potential client(s) touring the event side of the facility during the actual wedding day which was unexpected as we were getting ready
Overall we’ve gotten past our frustrations as the day in general was memorable and beyond amazing with so many family and friends present (not to mention our vendor all-star team!) Local friends have used the space since, it seems to be gaining more popularity.
