Reviews of O'Connell Hall - Catholic University of America
Incredible venue and team - highly recommend!
Beautiful venue and very easy to work with
The hall is beautiful on its own and it provides a beautiful backdrop for pictures as does the outdoor area around it.
Additionally, there is plenty of parking space.
Beautiful Venue
Unfortunate Lack of Communication & Accountability
After my tour, I emailed to receive a price breakdown of the venue and I was provided a Chartwell link with no further communication. I have been continuously calling CUA trying to get Caroline on the phone to provide me with some clarification on next steps to no avail. I am always told Caroline is unavailable and I will be given a call back and to date, I have not received a call back from Caroline or anyone on the Catholic University events team.
This is upsetting because this was my top venue choice for an extremely long time and there has been no accountability from the team to try to remedy this situation.
