TLDR: This Lorraine, Alfredo, and the staff are gems. You will not find a more caring and detail oriented coordinator. The catering was great & accommodating. The DJ was fantastic and got all my guests dancing through the night. Lorraine & Staff When I found The Garden Ballroom, I knew it was the venue for us. Both my new husband & I work a lot of hours, and didn’t have much time during the week to plan our wedding. We used their all inclusive package, it made planning a breeze. We found that Lorraine was very accommodating to us, as we had a few hiccups since we were planning from afar. We drove for two hours to do the important meetings in person, and a few on the phone. Day of the wedding, it was easy to kick back and trust the Garden Ballroom had it under control. If there was ever a problem, I had no idea. All my guests loved the venue and had wonderful things to say. We stayed at the Staybridge Suites around the corner, and it made it so easy! I cannot say enough nice things about both Lorraine, Alfredo, and the staff at The Garden Ballroom. Everyone we worked with was so kind and wonderful to speak with. My guests spoke highly of the venue and staff as well. The venue itself was beautiful and charming. There are so many options for decorations, Lorraine will be able to capture your vision. I scrolled through their Instagram, and sent them DM's when I liked something in particular. Be sure to follow them and watch their stories & posts if you book! You won't be disappointed booking at this venue. While the building itself doesn't have its own parking lot, there is ample parking nearby. None of my guests had a problem. Catering The Catering was good! We selected for the Italian Menu, as we knew it would be a crowd pleaser. During the tasting we provided some feedback, and it was resolved. Catering was also able to accommodate our vegetarian guests by making sure the meatballs were on the side; which was a big deal to us. I know not all catering companies will do alterations, so it was nice to have it. We also had a gluten free guest, and I was happy to hear that I could order her a special plate. She gave it a 10/10 too! The food was delicious and I was hearing compliments from everyone. DJ For our DJ, we had Carlos. We were not sure if any of our guests were going to get on the dance floor. So we told him to go with the flow. We also bought some LED foam light sticks. Carlos did a fantastic job! We had people up on the dance floor the whole time. My guests loved the music selection. Being able to share songs from a Spotify playlist made sending our song selections so easy.
