Love Tania and her staff

Tania is a wonderful woman to work with and Larry her second is comand is just as wonderful!!! My day was so wonderful and I wouldn’t have had it any other way. I knew Saturday morning that Tania was not going to be on premises for the reception that evening and I was fine because we had discussed all details and I knew Larry would be there to make sure every thing was perfect! It was and Brandon and I were extremely pleased with everything they did!

If your getting married, this is the only place to have your reception! Larry and his staff were attentive to our needs and made sure everything was to our liking. The facility was a prime atmosphere with great decorations plenty of space for our guests and lots of options. Many of the guests that attended our reception said it was the best reception they had ever been to.

If you are planning a wedding in or around Mankato, this is the ONLY place you should consider for your wedding! They really do great work here. Larry was so helpful, he even helped us put together our decorations and put them on the table. We were able to decorate the day before. We also had an outdoor ceremony and Larry was willing to be super accommodating should we need to move indoors. We had a buffet meal, but they hand served our cake for us. They also saved the extra meat and buns and later on in the evening put it out for a snack. There was even a waitress who made sure people were getting drinks so they didn't have to leave their conversations to go to the bar.

If you spend a certain amount, the room rent here is FREE. The prices for food were super reasonable from what I've seen and the food was fantastic. I had so many compliments on the food at our wedding.

Larry is a really nice guy, likes to talk a bit much at times, but is really accommodating and helpful. I would HIGHLY recommend the Kato Ballroom.

I was at a banquet held there and I have never seen worse. Honestly, they were completely under staffed. They were slow, not very respectful when you would ask for something such as more water (which they did not have at the tables) They brought out dressing in Styrofoam cups. The salads had almost no lettuce and their rolls came out cold as if they were in a fridge. At one point we had a speaker speaking and the dishes were being clanked around in the back so loud that we had to go back to the kitchen and ask for them to try to keep it quieter. They said they would, then as we turned to walk away the literally slammed the kitchen door behind us and their kitchen is attached to the main room. So, everyone saw how rude they were.

Now I don't normally complain about service, but I have been a server for a catering company for 5 years and I was astonished at how horrible this service was. I will never go back and will never recommend any one to go there.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
