Great People, Beautiful Venue, and Delicious Food

They were incredibly easy to work with and made our wedding and reception wonderful. They allowed us to get in and decorate the day before and the rehearsal dinner was fabulous. The day of the wedding they were gracious with everything they provided while we got ready, and offered a great set of spaces for prep and relaxation between the ceremony and reception. There are some beautiful places on-site for photos. The reception itself was magical and many of our guests complimented us on the food. I would highly recommend them to anyone.

Happy with the entire experience

Not a wedding but a 50th year high school reunion. The food was tasty, the staff was friendly and efficient.
We plan to use them again T the next 50th.

Great time at A Touch of Class!

Jen at A Touch of Class was so great to work with! Coming in as a vendor for the first time, she made working in the space easy! The venue was so beautiful and versatile. Her staff was great and efficient tool! The lower level of the venue is amazing and so spacious for the wedding party to hangout in throughout the day. Upstairs for the reception was even better! Couldn't have asked for more!

Delicious & Reasonable

We had A Touch of Class cater for us at Celebration Farms and they did a spectacular job. Arrived on time, food was great, they had a great selection, Jenn was easy to work with (even though I was coordinating from out of state!!) and they were able to do the food and bar and bar tenders, including coordinating my out of state parents-in-law helping to pay for part of the tab. So easy to work with, and everyone loved the food and drinks. Would certainly recommend. Their value for money is miles above all the other places I considered.

We held our rehearsal dinner and wedding reception at A Touch of Class. Everything went perfectly! The food is amazing and there is a wide variety to choose from. I was a little nervous booking at A Touch of Class at first, because there is an upstairs and a downstairs event room and I was worried that you would be able to hear the downstairs music during our reception. But the soundproofing is awesome and I forgot that there was even another event going on at the same time. I highly recommend A Touch of Class and Ruth, the wedding coordinator there, is super helpful!

Ruth at Touch of Class was absolutely wonderful to work with. She was very responsive when I had a ton of question for her throughout the planning, and the whole staff at touch of class was great! Everyone commented on how wonderful the staff was, and how amazing the food was. Would recommend to anyone getting married!!

WOW!! I cannot say enough great things about our experience at A Touch Of Class. From the ceremony in the amazing gazebo, to the awsome food, every detail was handled by them. The staff was overly accomodating from booking to the end of the night when they helped us pack up our gifts and sent us home with leftovers. (Was just as good the next day!) They set up all the white chairs in front of the gazebo and set up the sound system too, all we had to do is bring our playlist and hit play, and we got a great discount for having the ceremony and the wedding there. It only cost $300.00 to get married in the gazebo and get all the setup and clean up. The grounds were exceptionally clean as well as the gazebo area. We would do it all over again tomorrow. After the ceremony we went insde to our banquet room and had an amazing meal followed by an equally great wedding cake that their pastry chef created from a picture my wife brought in. Definitely have them do your cake, you wont be dissappointed.
After checking the other venues in town it was really an easy decision. A Touch Of Class provided the most value for the money by far. We spent about $2,700 less than if we would have had it at either of the hotels. And they set up for free shuttles at the end of the night. That worked perfect for our out of town guests staying at the hotel with us and people we did not want to drink and drive. If you are considering A Touch of Class for your wedding, don't hesitate--Celebrate!!!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
