Perfection

Red Circle was absolutely perfect for our wedding reception. We have dined there many times and were sold on the food from the start. You must have the whipped potatoes! As far as the wedding reception went, Norm was prompt in all communication and has a wealth of experience to guide you through the process. It’s evident how much of a routine they have in how smoothly the day went. The staff is incredibly friendly and courteous. We had a perfect day and would choose to Red Circle for any future event need we have.

Perfect Venue

Wedding - January 2025

I had been to a wedding here ten years ago and was thrilled to book the venue for my own. We have no complaints, everything went to plan, and the staff were wonderful.

Gina, the events coordinator, walked us through each step of the planning process and was very responsive as we planned our reception from across the country.

The venue: two stunning rooms. We had a space for dining and another place for cocktail hour and dancing. People could have quiet conversations or dance their hearts out. The Christmas decor was an added bonus for me as a winter bride. Christmas greenety adorned both rooms, the staircase, and the front entry. They lit the fireplace for us and had faux flickering candles in all the windows.

The food: spectacular. Our tasting was delicious, and the reception food perfectly mirrored that experience. We also asked to use our own recipe for our signature cocktail, and the bartender worked with us to make it happen. It was a huge hit.

The event: beautiful and stress free. Our reception went so smoothly and I didn't have to worry about a thing. The staff cleaned everything up for us, placing our items in a spot for us to remove when we were ready.

We are so happy we had our event here and can't wait to come back for a date night!

Stunning & outstanding venue

After searching for and visiting various venues, Red Circle Inn stole the show. Its classy, beautiful, and spacious indoor setting for the reception, lovey outdoor patio and pergola for the ceremony, and amazing staff - particularly Angela - made our wedding day absolutely perfect. We were provided thorough event details and always kept in the loop throughout the planning process, and although unfortunate, able to change our date easily (thanks COVID..). Angela made the day stress-free for us and she and the staff were extremely kind, understanding, and professional. We could not be more pleased with the venue and everyone involved. Truly a wonderful choice to celebrate!

Couldn’t of asked for a better wedding!

My husband and I had our wedding and ceremony at the Red a Circle Inn. With weather changed, the ceremony had to be changed from outdoors to indoors. Angela, her coordinator, and her team made the change and decorated booth rooms (the ceremony and reception). Working with angels was amazing! She was very responsive and helped with the wedding anyway she could. Her and her team went above and beyond that night to make our night magical. The food was amazing - I would highly recommend this venue for a wedding

A Hidden Gem

This place is awesome!!! The Red Circle Inn is a must see if you’re looking for a venue. The upstairs is a hidden gem with a huge dining room, a separate vaulted ceiling dancing area with room for a DJ or band, and a spacious outdoor patio area. All of which you can’t see if you just do a drive by.
We’re still getting rave reviews from guests that attended our daughter and son-in-law’s wedding reception. People loved the food and atmosphere of the Red Circle Inn. They were astounded by how classy and magical this place was.
As parents-of-the-bride, we really appreciated how the staff was both professional and personable. They worked with us as a team to plan the wedding reception of our daughter and son-in-law’s dreams at an affordable price.

Norm and his staff were amazing. I received so many compliments on the service that was provided at my wedding. The food is melt in your mouth good and people couldn't stop talking about it. Norm takes care of everything for you which was really nice and helpful. I didn't have to worry about anything the day of the wedding.

I highly recommend this venue to any couple getting married! The food is exquisite, the space is absolutely beautiful with lots of natural light for photos, and the service is top notch. The owner, Norm, meets with you personally 2-3 times to discuss plans and let you taste the food, and he personally oversees all of your wedding plans responding to emails within hours. Everyone there knows what they're doing and the staff is very professional. They even set up and took down my decorations for me. Also, the venue is very flexible and gives you until noon the day of the wedding to choose if you would like to have your ceremony inside or outside. This may sound too good to be true, but I have zero complaints. Everything went smoothly and all my guests were raving about my wedding for days. Thanks, Norm and the Red Circle staff, for a perfect day!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
