A girls dream come true

My husband and I hosted our daughter’s Sweet Sixteen in the grand ballroom, and it truly felt like a mini wedding. This venue exceeded all of our expectations, from the pricing to the flexibility, especially with all of our last-minute additions that many other venues likely would not have accommodated without extra charges.

One of the highlights was the upstairs suite, where my daughter and her friends were able to get ready. It was such a great experience for them, and the staff made sure they were well taken care of with water and everything they needed.

Speaking of the staff, every single person working that night was incredibly friendly, attentive, and welcoming. They went above and beyond, not only meeting everyone’s needs but also engaging with our guests, making them feel comfortable and at home.

Our guests couldn’t stop raving about the food! We especially appreciated the option to accommodate the many children attending by offering chicken fingers and fries, while the adults enjoyed a delicious variety of salads, meats, and vegetables.

Overall, we had an amazing experience and would absolutely recommend this venue to anyone planning a special event.

Great experience!

We had our wedding on June 14th, everything was perfect, the staff was great and the room just looked even more beautiful than what I imagined. From the beginning Anthony was amazing! He helped us plan everything and gave different ideas to help us save where we could. It meant a lot to us that he wasn’t so focused on selling ideas he understood our situation and made it a very easy process. He was there the night of the our wedding making sure everything ran smooth and even came up to us before he left to say goodbye. Our family and friends said the food was very good and the staff were very nice. I will always recommend the Forum to host any event!

Amazing!!!!

The venue is absolutely gorgeous and for the price that we paid I was expecting it to be much higher. I absolutely fell in love with the ballroom. I couldn't ask for a better and more perfect spot to host my wedding.

My Dream Wedding

I can't say enough great things about this venue that hosted my beautiful wedding. It was the best experience I had from start to finish with attention to detail from decorations to the menu to the overall result of my wedding day. I had the best person Anthony managing my wedding venue and the great staff and the best chef with his mouthwatering customized menu he did for me on my special day! Words can't express how happy I was on my wedding day and this venue is the best one there is 💗 It was so flexible and the price was easily cheaper than any other venue but the secret weapon is the team and the chef and his staff! No one will compare to them and how lucky I was to find them to host my big day. You will not regret your decision and I hope they can create more special days for people like they did for me 💞 Thank you so much Anthony and staff and Chef!

S&N Wedding Reception

We recently held our wedding reception at The Forum, and we couldn't be happier with our experience! From start to finish, the coordination provided by Anthony was outstanding. He was incredibly organized, attentive, and ensured that every detail was taken care of, allowing us to relax and enjoy our special day.

The venue itself was beautiful and perfectly suited for our celebration. Anthony's expertise made the planning process smooth, and his presence on the day of the wedding was invaluable. Everything went off without a hitch, and we received countless compliments from our guests about how well everything was executed.

We highly recommend The Forum for anyone looking to host their wedding reception, and we are so grateful to Anthony for making our day truly unforgettable!
