This was a one stop shop ladies. They provided the cake, tables/chairs, decor and a dance floor. Granted it wasn't huge but big enough for whoever wanted to dance.....dance. The dinner food was good and was plentiful!! For all the catering, wait staff service and beautiful cake this was actually a good deal. The space in the actual reception room was big enough for a wedding reception up to maybe 150-200. Just don't bother getting the Honeymoon suite there because it is pricey and just like any other suite at a hotel....but with older, smelly furniture. Not to mention the AC wasnt working too well at the time.

We used them to cater our wedding. We had them do a bacon burger bar, but they completely forgot to give us bacon. It almost completely ruined the buffet and all the buffet signs that I hand made. Then when told Brandi, the manager in charge of our event. She said she'd give us refund of 50 cents a person and just said, "well it was just human error." I had to practically beg for any form of compensation and then she said shed comp a meal at their restaraunt for me and my Hub as if we just had a bad meal experience. She acted completely unprofessionally and didn't have a care in the world that she almost ruined the buffet. If the Faust knew what was good for them they wouldn't let Brandi manage anymore wedding accounts. Terrible experience.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
