The Banquets at Two Brothers Roundhouse are total experts. Everyone we worked with (Lori, Nicole, Maddie) we exceptionally responsive, friendly, and excited for us from start to finish. They made everything so easy, and the packages they offered really were the best value we could find considering they included dinner, open bar, set up, tear down, and even the cake. We had both our ceremony and reception there, and it couldn't have been a better choice. Plus, our guests loved the food and drinks. I could talk forever about how perfect our experience was!

The Fountain Blue was very flexible with us through all steps of the process and made wedding planning so much easier! John was amazing and helped me through everything, also the food quality is so good, as good or better than a quality restaurant. At first I was skeptical of a banquet hall but considered it because of the extremely affordable price, bur I honestly think my wedding turned out to be more beautiful and perfect than it could have at any other venue. I'd looked at many expensive venues, from cool new spaces downtown, to high end barnhouses, but ultimately I think the Fountain Blue was better than anything else out there! It sounds dramatic but I am serious. All the guests were highly impressed and some said it was the nicest event they'd ever attended. I 10/10 recommend the Fountain Blue, because of the amazing facilities and food, great genuinely kind and helpful staff, accessible location, and overall experience!

Where do I even begin? Manzo’s is incredible. I had my wedding reception here and I cannot thank them enough for how easy they made this process. From the initial contract to the moving of my wedding date, to picking out linens and food. Everything was SO easy. They’re incredibly economical too. Their prices are the best I have seen around. Everything was so magical and so easy. I got so many compliments about the food. The food honestly has to be the best food I have ever had a banquet in my life. I still dream about the pasta. 10/10. If you’re looking to have any party, BOOK HERE! I will forever use Manzo’s not only for my events but for catering!!! I love them and the office staff are incredible. THANK YOU!!!!

My dream wedding came true at the Esplanade Lakes!! My fiancé and I decided to check out this venue the winter before our anticipated wedding date. On a very snowy evening, we met up with Janet at the venue and instantly fell in love with it! From day one, Janet was beyond helpful with orchestrating all the details of the wedding! She was always so eager to please us and to ensure our wedding day was the BEST DAY EVER... (which it was)! Any worry or question I had, Janet was there! Finally the day is here! We decided to have both the ceremony and the reception at the Esplanade Lakes. With the pristine frosted lake as a backdrop, the ceremony was beyond breathtaking!! It was like walking into a dream! The staff quickly turned the room around from ceremony to reception in about a hour and we were ready to get the party started! The food was delicious, the atmosphere was spectacular, and the staff was extraordinary!! I did not have a single worry the day of my wedding because of the outpouring of care and professionalism demonstrated by Janet and her staff! I would absolutely recommend this venue for any wedding, for any season!!!

Our Wedding was held on Sunday August 25th, 2024 at the Cotillion. It was the happiest and most incredible day of our lives! George and Tom executed every single thing they promised us for months. At first I was a very worried bride and in the months leading up to the wedding I didn’t know what to expect. But they were AMAZING! They set up the room in a very elegant and detail oriented manner, they also set up the cocktail hour and it looked even better than I could ever imagine. Everyone was raving about how good the food was and the service was fast and efficient. George is super detail oriented which I loved! George set up all the cocktail hour props from the audio phone book to the mirrors, 360 photobooth, seating chart and then he helped us choose the most elegant charger plates and even helped me design the menu and thank you cards! Every time I texted him to ask him a question he would call me back immediately! And Tom was kind enough to meet my Mom and give her a tour on his day off because she flew from overseas to help me plan 6 months in advance. We had an open bar wedding until 1:30am and George and Tom stayed till then making sure everything was under control. I wish I can relive this day over and over again. Thank you Cotillion, you exceeded all my expectations and made our wedding a very memorable one.

Where to begin. Ever come across a group of individuals who go from complete strangers to instant friends who feel like family? That’s exactly how the team at Chez Hotel made me feel. If they ever needed me, I’d be there in an instant. Planning a wedding is insanity to say the least. But what makes it easier is having someone who will listen and understand what you’re asking for. Everyone there has a “yes we can make that happen” attitude. They’re genuinely kind people working in a not so kind field because wedding planning is HARD. Without them honestly I don’t think our wedding would’ve been the way it was. Just a truly remarkable experience working with the team here and I HIGHLY recommend everyone to go check them out and you’ll see for yourself why we chose them and why I’m writing this review. For the team: Michelle - She’s the best wedding planner/coordinator we could’ve ever asked for. I’m not just saying this. I mean this from the bottom of my heart! The way Michelle handled us with all of our requests is truly remarkable because we were a pain, frankly. She’s incredible at what she does and I hope others get to have someone like her on their side during such a hectic phase! Please go see her and you will not be disappointed! Payton - while not our main coordinator, a truly incredible human being who helped if Michelle wasn’t around! Very helpful and caring. Can’t thank you enough for all your help! Christina - a very genuine person and honest. This helps a lot when working with a team for so many months planning! We are truly grateful to you and your beautiful venue! I would host every event there - the pictures are incredible but go see this place in person, truly magnificent! With love, Harsh

To be honest idk where to even start. Kim and her team were awesome to work with, responsive and super helpful. Definitely made the process less stressful. The decoration exceeded my expectations and my guest. Kim’s sweet and energetic energy made it pleasant to work with. Kim was also our officiant! My husband and I couldn’t have asked for better!

I had the privilege to meet Joyce, she was very attentive in listening to and explain every detail in regard to the wedding package to us. I host my wedding at this beautiful place. My husband was happy and so was all our guests. From family to friends. The food was great. The decorations were also beautiful. Beautiful place for pictures also.

We had an amazing experience with The Crawford for our early September wedding. The layout of the venue is incredibly versatile, allowing us to customize each space exactly as we envisioned. We chose to spend the entire day on-site - including getting ready - which made everything feel seamless. The bridal suite was perfect for hair, makeup, and beautiful pre-ceremony photos. We also loved using the billiards room as an additional getting-ready space and for a variety of fun photo moments. The chapel was another stunning spot for portraits, and we later used it as the room for our food stations. Our ceremony took place on the patio, and we used the ballroom for both cocktail hour and the reception. We were even able to create a cute lounge area using The Crawford’s furniture, which worked out perfectly. The venue itself is truly gorgeous and spacious, and the team made the experience even better. Sarah was incredibly responsive, helpful, flexible, and genuinely fun to work with throughout the entire planning process - we appreciated her so much! Also, the location is nearby a ton of hotel options, and the venue has a large parking lot!

My sister had her wedding here in November 2017. They had both their ceremony and reception at the venue. The ceremony, held on the bocce court upstairs was absolutely gorgeous with the large windows and adding a drapery background. When people saw their wedding photos, they couldn't believe it was held at Pinstripes! The outdoor patio area with fire pit was a huge hit with guests. Would definitely recommend reserving the entire upstairs area and bowling lanes for extra privacy. Overall, guests had a blast and were talking about it for months after!!
