Outstanding Experience

I’ve actually had dealings with The Patterson and Patterson Bridal. Each experience has been great. The Patterson venue is beautiful. It has plenty of space for any event and they can whatever atmosphere you need; business, party or even church. When you enter the ball room you just a feeling of elegance. They can do more than supply a building, they are the complete package. I would recommend this venue to any and everyone.

Patterson Bridal is very accommodating. They can supply formal wear for the entire family for any occasion. The staff is very attentive and caring.

Really Awesome!

We decided to have an all out birthday party down at the Patterson. They set up tables and chairs for us, all we had to do was a little bit of decorating and bring the cake! There was a DJ and we danced until midnight. They even took care of the clean up! The venue is really beautiful and tasteful, they recently renovated. There was a stage and plenty of room for dancing. I could see a school prom being held there, they have a pretty sizable dance floor.

Wedding Expectations EXCEEDED

My wedding was on 6/24/22, and it was absolutely beautiful! Toni Miller was my wedding planner. She and her staff put my wedding together in less than three months; and I promise that you couldn’t tell.

Every detail was well thought out, and she stayed within my budget! She went above and beyond to ensure that I was happy and informed. She was very patient, and she made me feel like I was the only client she had even though she was juggling other weddings and events.

Everyone that attended said it was beautiful, and the decor was amazing! The bride and groom suites had everything we needed to get ready for our big day. Her staff checked on us throughout the time we were there getting ready. If there was anything we needed, they made it happen.

I recommend The Patterson to everyone that I can. You will not be disappointed!

Wedding reception, first floor.

Beautiful venue. Owners were easy to work with and flexible with our schedule/needs.
Things to work on....the a/c never really seemed to get cool. It was uncomfortably warm throughout the reception/dance.
The individual who came to close that evening was very rude. Reception ended early, yet he was very impatient and even turned the lights out while we were still trying to remove items from the gift table.

Exceptional

The only concern is the humidity in the suites upstairs. It was extremely hot and uncomfortable. I wish they would get a full kitchen, if not at least an ice machine.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
