Great Food and Service at the Heights

My husband and I had our wedding reception at the Heights Event Center in August 2018 and were very happy with our choice to work with the Heights for our wedding. We set up a tour of the venue about a year before our wedding. When we arrived for the tour the venue was set up for an upcoming wedding and looked very nice. This helped us see how well the space could be used for our own wedding and got us thinking about what kind of look we would want for ourselves. After we expressed interest in the Heights, the owner and director, Chad, set up a food tasting for us. This was done at no charge, and allowed us to select 2-3 options for each part of the meal to try ahead of time. The food tasting was done very well and we were blown away by the flavors and quality of the food. This led to our decision to book the Heights for our reception.

Leading up to the wedding, we had several touch bases with Chad to go over our bar and food menu selections, discuss our guest count and other logistics for our day. Overall this went well. One thing to remember about working with the Heights is that it is a small business. So if your wedding or event is not in the near future you may not always receive an immediate response to emails, as Chad may be working with another client whose event is nearer. This was not a problem for us as we were reaching out for some things quite a bit in advance of our own wedding.

On the day before the wedding, Chad allowed us to set up the majority of the decorations ahead of time. This included table decorations, several easels with large frames, and a backdrop behind the head table. While this would not have been possible if there was an event the day before our wedding, we felt very lucky to be able to set up and it relieved a lot of stress on the wedding day. Overall this flexibility was really helpful to us.

On the day of the wedding, the venue was set up perfectly, the cocktail hour food and dinner food were amazing and our guests had a wonderful experience. We had our guest book and photo displays set up in the lobby area and our dinner and dance in the main hall. Both spaces were clean, set up nicely and provided a good impression to us and our guests. The service provided by the bar and wait staff was courteous, timely and attentive. Besides the bar and buffet line moving quickly, the Heights staff also sliced and served our cake. Tables were cleared away quickly and they made sure the head table had enough appetizers and drinks throughout the meal. I would also like to mention that we had some older guests in attendance who were well accommodated with the venue’s elevators, wide doors, etc. Feedback from our guests was very positive on the food and how well the space worked for our reception. It was almost 90 degrees the day of our reception so everyone was very happy to be inside in air conditioning.

Overall, we felt the Heights met or exceeded all our expectations. We feel it was a great value, and we would gladly recommend this reception venue to others.

There are two things that really matter when choosing a venue; The service and the food. Everything else like location, decor, sound, etc... can be worked with, but if the service or the food are bad, that venue is bad. I do a lot of events at a lot of venues and The Heights has figured out both. With the new event coordinator; Sarah, you do not need to worry about service. Sarah will make sure that the staff that works every event will be 'Country Club' caliber. From the kitchen, you will not be disappointed either. The food is really good! Their food is so good, they let you do a tasting BEFORE you book the space! That is unheard of and an amazing testament to their quality and desire for you to see what they are all about. Do yourself a favor, go check out The Heights before making a decision about venues! Geoffrey Sandler; Celebrations Entertainment
