Best day ever!

Charity the lady in charge of everything was fantastic very flexible very helpful always available and professional. The staff couldn’t have been more wonderful especially a shout out to Darla who catered to and took care of the head table with the bride and the groom she thought of everything and treated them as if they were her own children. Even with a few changes along the way they were happy to accommodate us and make everything perfect the hors d’oeuvres were hot and fresh the salad Buffay was huge and had several selections the desserts were beautifully displayed the food was delicious the house DJ couldn’t have been better highly recommend the Grecian center banquet hall made my daughters wedding the best day ever!! We were able to pay upgrades like second bartenders extra entrées on the food Buffet etc. we highly recommend having the pizza at the end of the night the coconut shrimp pot appetizers and the au gratin potatoes not that everything else wasn’t wonderful too!

Accomadating

My fiance's brother had their wedding here and I was considering them. The people that they have working in the front office are so friendly. They are very accommodating and throwing many additionals. If you happen to have someone that you know that had a wedding there they will throw in extras. You got a lot of bang for your buck there. Just very friendly and made you feel good.

We booked The Grecian Center for my daughter's wedding reception back in November 2015 for September 2016. Eileen is so nice and helpful. We went to a bridal show hosted at The Grecian Center and they were serving their food for a menu tasting... The food was AMAZING with so many choices. The venue is beautiful and has the best prices around. We are also having her tea party wedding shower in their beautiful park area. Eileen has been just as helpful with this process as well offering so many original ideas for the menu.

The Grecian Center is absolutely amazing in their outdoor area. The ceremony site is covered by a wooden pavilion, but is open on 3 sides so you still feel like your outdoor but you still have protection from the sun/rain. They have a coordinator that works with you and sets everything up too. It was roughly $28/person for 3 entree buffet and open bar.They did an excellent job. The food was amazing, the room was beautiful. Everyone you work with there was very nice and helpful. They also through in a complimentary pizza bar at the end. They set up the room for you too which is very helpful.

They were great to work with. The food was amazing! The ladies at the hall set up everything! I didn't have to worry about a thing. Once I had everything at the hall I knew everything would work out! So many complements from my guests, I wouldn't want it at any other place!

A++++ Highly recommended.

From the beautiful rooms to choose from, the superb staff, and the amazing food. The Grecian Center went above and beyond to make our reception "the" event of the year. Our friends and family are still talking about our wedding. Elaine and her staff are truly there to make your day as special as can be.
