Cannon Wedding 10/10/2020

Our experience with the palace center was amazing! I can't thank Kristen enough for all the hard work she put into our wedding to help make it the best day ever. She was there for us over the last 9 months and planned our entire day from the ceremony to the reception. The Palace center is a beautiful, very large, venue with many different options and rooms. Easy set up for any outside vendors and a large stage for the DJ or area for a band. It's easy to feel like a princess during your big day at this venue. Kristen stayed in contact with us in regards to any changes during the pandemic. She was even there for us to work through any stress and lent an ear when I needed reassurance or just needed to vent. The staff was very kind, courteous, and professional. The bartender was one of the coolest guys. We received many good compliments regarding him being very quick with service, helpful and friendly. Most of our compliments are to the chef!!!!!! When I taste-tested their food a few months ago, I knew for sure we were already going to get compliments. His food was amazing. All the guests kept talking about his food all evening and even got phone calls the next day regarding how amazing the food was. We had stuffed flounder, steak medallions with veggies, chicken and broccoli penne pasta, mixed veggies, Spanish rice and beans, and a ham carving station. One of the things you want others to talk about at your wedding is the food and that's exactly what happened. Great job chef and Palace Center!!!!! I would definitely recommend The Palace Center over and over again! The Palace Center is currently making many upgrades due to the pandemic. They upgraded their bathrooms to meet Covid-19 requirements and have hand sanitizer stations throughout the venue, making guests feel comfortable. They have a beautiful fireplace that was upgraded as well as their bars. This place is only going to get more beautiful in the next year. Don't miss out!

Such a great experience

Kristen was so great to work with! She gave us so much information and whenever we had questions she was quick to answer them. My family is a family of drinkers so I communicated that with Kristen and she assured me they would be prepared and we had no issues about running out of alcohol the night of. Everything went smooth the day off and we had the perfect day.

Noviello wedding 3-3-23

The best night of lives, was made better the palace. Kristen is very attentive not just day off but through the planning process. I can not express enough how happy I am with the day we had. Kristen I’m going to shout you out because the shot you gave me for nerves before walking into reception was great, although it was 3 shots in one I drank it all.
The bar staff, servers, and everyone else in between were so amazing to have ease the stress. This the place to go, look no further for the best night/ day and any event of your life

The best day!

The team at The Palace Center is the best! They are so helpful, always responsive, and helped make our day absolutely perfect. Kristen, our coordinator, was planning her own wedding at the same time we were and she was still always ready and willing to work with us! 10/10 would recommend!

The most perfect wedding experience

I had my wedding at The Palace and it went perfect! The staff is super super helpful if you have no idea what you are doing (me). They make the process super easy to understand and break it all down to you. The room can also be opened up more to make it fit as many people as you need. The food was also amazing. During cocktail hour, they had the perfect amount of food coming out as well. They also made sure to have appetizers sent up to where my bridal party and I were all waiting. My wedding day went so perfect because of the Palace, I would highly recommend booking this venue!

We have been fortunate enough to have been of the recommended vendor group at The Palace Center for many years. The Abdouche Family and their staff always does a 1st class job and always with a smile on their faces. No matter if your event hosts 100 or 500 guests, the service is perfect, the food is hot and fresh. The rooms are beautiful and allow for such an elegant event. Always a venue we are happy to recommend and/or work at.
