I was so thankful to have been told about the Egypt Shriner facility. We had our wedding reception there and couldn't have been more pleased with the outcome.
Ilene was a joy to work with throughout the entire process! Very clean facility with lots of options for decorating and really making it your own. Wonderful hidden gem that I will recommend to anyone who asks!

Egypt Shriners is such an amazing place to have your reception. It's very spacious and it's like a clear canvas as you could decorate it however you would like. There are so many options that you could choose when it comes to decor. Ilene is such a pleasure to work with and her bar staff are amazing. They made my guests feel very comfortable. I have already recommended this venue to one of my friends. I had my wedding here on September 10, 2011 and if I every have another big event I will book this venue again :)

Ilene it's such a pleasure to work with, I was very happy to find Egypt Shriners. I was able to decorate and have 300 people at my wedding no problem! The value it's incredible! We were able to go the day before to decorate, (fortunately no one booked the day before). Everyone was very helpful, they helped us brainstorm with the table layouts. Also the technical staff was so nice, they made it so much better. The lights, and special effects were perfect!! We truly enjoyed working with them to make our day special. I would definitely use them again for any other event! Hopefully our anniversary !!! :)

We had our wedding here a couple of years ago and everything was amazing from the management down to the security staff. The venue is big enough to easily accomadate more than 300 people we had about 150 guest and there was plenty of room left. When it comes to working with you they are very good to meet your needs. We wanted an open bar , but only wanted it for those involved in the wedding (groomsmen, bridesmaids, parents...etc.) and they were ble to supply bands for us to identify those people. Even though they have a set time you're given the venue we were allowed an extra hour after getting caught up in dancing and just enjoying ourselves. They allowed us to come in the day before to do a run thhrough rehersal as well for a period of time. Would recommend this place to anyone. Very reasonably priced too!

If you are planning to have an event here please make sure they clean the kitchen for you. The day of my event when We got there the kitchen was dirty since supposedly was used by one of the members, the warmers were dirty, refrigerator was dirty and ovens were dirty, when contacted the administrator she asked us if it was that bad that we can't work around since the only appliances we were able to use was the warmers and we replied yes since they were dirty. Long story short no one show up to clean the kitchen we end up working around in a dirty kitchen, except for the warmer that we have to clean to be able to keep our banquet warm, of course is old but when is clean is acceptable to work around, also they took an hour from us for decorations it was suppose to be 8 am they gave us the key at 9:20 am. Also they promised the entrance will be clean,once again it was dirty, our guests were commenting about spider web in entrance,debris and other little papers everywhere, beautiful hall but in urgent needs of tender love and care. Other than that is spacious to accommodate your guests in at comfortable distance between tables.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
