80th Birthday Party

Hello Greg.....It's been two weeks since my 80th birthday party at The Grand Opera House Banquet Center. I've had a chance to reflect on that exciting day.

I don't think it could have gone better. The venue was perfect, the food delicious and the weather was lovely. The table set up for guests and food worked perfectly.

I appreciated that you were very accommodating to my son, the musician, my helpers setting up the desserts and to the unloading and loading up of gear.

I can't tell you how many of my guests went on and on about the event, the space, the food. Tornatores was the BEST! They loved the venue and many said that they did not even know that it existed. Maybe you will get some business in the future!

I especially thank you for your concern for my friend who needed handicap parking.

Thank you for everything you did to make my day memorable. Holding the event in such a historical and visually beautiful space added to the ambiance of the entire affair.

Thank you.

Excellent Experience

We celebrated our wedding this past weekend and could not have had a better experience. Greg was so helpful from start to finish. Every step of the way he was there to make sure we had what we needed!
