The Best!!

We worked with Victoria and she is the absolute best. She is incredibly responsive, works with you and your vision, and makes it come to life. I don't have enough good things to say about her and the entire team at Jockey. I would highly recommend having your wedding there if you're looking for an intimate, unique venue that offers the flexibility many traditional wedding venues can't. 5 stars all around :).

I can't say enough positive things about our experience at JHBK! We are getting married abroad, so we needed a location for our private ceremony, which only our immediate family attended. Because we're doing three events for our wedding it was important for us to get the best value for our money, and we did! The space was so bright and beautiful!!! Everyone loved the "Wow-Factor" of the windows, high ceilings, and fireplace. And Phil, he's family now! He was absolutely wonderful, and by the end of the day I truly felt like he was A PART of our wedding. His service made him much more than "staff", he really catered to our every need. My husband and I don't eat meat, and they were able to come up with options that we were good for us, while still allowing our family to enjoy the cuisine they would prefer. And that SEAFOOD TOWER was incredible, I ate way to many shrimp. Everyone enjoyed their brunch, and the CAKE YUUUMM!!! The over all Quality of our experience was top notch. What I loved most was the set-up. The way we orchestrated the flow of events, between the 3 rooms was perfect, and it gave my husband and I a private area to conduct business and take in those precious moments that go by way too fast.

Now, completely outside of JHBK, the only disappointment of the day were the flowers. Terrible experience with the vendor [Colly Flowers}. I can't even begin to describe my experience, total waste of money, with no remorse or attempt to rectify the situation.

However that didn't stop this from being a spectacular event that our family has loved and continues to cherish.
