    Rating this place a five out of five, due to the fact that they care so deeply for each and every event, and they go above and beyond to make their clients happy!

    Before I begin the review, you should know: 1) We had 440 guests at our wedding, 2) We had 500 guests at our reception, & 3) The wedding and reception were in the same room! Sounds like a logistical nightmare, right? Not at Goel's Plaza. We are so happy that we choose to have our wedding and reception here. If you have a large wedding, this place is big enough. They also do smaller weddings! This place was just perfect for us. We wanted a truly custom feel for our wedding, so their flexibility was valuable to us. When we looked at other venues, it was like everything had to be done their way. At Goel's, they ask want you would like, and if they can accommodate it, they just do. The professionalism they run the venue with shines through, so not only was the experience great for us, it was great for our guests too. We got high praise from our guests for the bartenders, and we did not even pick them. Goel’s did! These kinds of things go a long way in making your special day that much more magical. We had ample time to set up for the wedding because there were no events at Goel's the day before. So, we felt great about the wedding. Our biggest concern was what the place was going to look like when we returned for the reception. It was not until we returned that we realized that Goel's was as invested in the look and feel of our event as we were. While our guests enjoyed a cocktail hour in the hallway, we snuck into the banquet hall through the backdoor to see the event space. This was a make or break moment because I did not know what we were going to see. Literally everything was set up. There were no workers in there, just my DJ doing a sound check. They even put snacks at the sweetheart table in case we did not have a chance to eat. People often say that your wedding day is so stressful and you do not really get a chance to enjoy it. That was not our experience. We had so much fun. It was a truly magical day for us thanks in no small part to the folks at Goel's!

    The staff really worked to accommodate our needs and make sure that our wedding reception ran smoothly. They were quite friendly and professional, making sure to give us an in depth tour of the venue and take note of our preferences such as for a DJ and decorations. In addition, the prices were quite reasonable and we were able receive our deposit afterward. My wife and I definitely recommend this venue, as they treat you with respect and work with you to make sure you're wedding reception is run flawlessly!

    "My wedding here was great! The chandeliers are beautiful and the ballrooms are secluded from the public. We rented the Grand Ballroom to accommodate the wedding in the Magnolia (front) ballroom and the Azalea (back) ballroom to unveil the reception setup. Great idea suggested by our event coordinator!

    Goels Plaza Banquet & Conference Center's reply:

    Hi Ashley - Thank you for the wonderful review! We appreciate your trust in our services and enjoyed being part of your wedding and reception. I really like the chandeliers as well! So many memories come with each of those crystals and in each of our ballrooms. Best wishes on your new marriage!

    Thank you, Goels Plaza! I had my wedding and reception here, which went extremely smooth during preparation and day-of events! I was looking for a venue that could take care of everything, yet allow me to bring my own food and DJ. I was also able to have my wedding in one ballroom and reception in another ballroom, which made a seamless transition for my guests. The price is reasonable as well. As for service, the staff went above and beyond. I had guests come from out of town, so Goels Plaza went the extra mile to negotiate rates, transportation, and breakfast with a nearby hotel. That was quite impressive and saved time/money for my family and friends who were all able to stay together!

    Highly recommended venue!

    Goels Plaza Banquet & Conference Center's reply:

    Hi Linda - Thank you for the fantastic review, and for allowing us at Goels Plaza to be part of your special day! Your wedding in the Iris Ballroom, reception in the Magnolia Ballroom, and cocktail hour in the Lounge was executed flawlessly. While we don't expect you to get married again, we have created wedding reception packages that apply the same logistics used for your big day! Next time, come by to see me in person - it'll be great to hear how the married life is treating you!

    My husband and I were highly impressed with the service that was provided at my wedding! Everyone there was extremely nice and let us host our events exactly as we planned. We had the wedding in one ballroom, the reception in a separate ballroom, and a cocktail hour in the lounge in between both events. The price was very reasonable compared to a few other venues I was looking at in Raleigh. They allowed us to cater food from our favorite restaurant, the one that my husband actually proposed in! This really was everything we were looking for - a couple ballrooms to host both events, easy-to-deal-with service, and the right price!

    Goels Plaza Banquet & Conference Center's reply:

    Hi Julie - Thank you for your business and for posting a fantastic review! We are grateful to have hosted your event, and appreciate your time to share that experience with us and others. Also, that is really sweet that the restaurant your husband proposed in ended up catering for the event. Glad we can be part of your memory book of star vendors!

    The event preparation, execution, and wrap up handled by the event staff went flawlessly. I would highly recommend Goels Plaza for any of my friends' weddings! Bridesmaids, hint hint!

    Goels Plaza Banquet & Conference Center's reply:

    Hi Becca - We really enjoyed hosting your Wedding Reception just a couple months ago! Your review really means a lot to our staff and management at Goels Plaza. We are glad we could help with transportation and lodging with the Marriott nearby. Needless to say, we continue to work with (and welcome) local vendors to execute successful events. If your bridesmaids do want to host their upcoming milestones with us, feel free to have them come by to meet our event coordinators!

    Unprofessional

    The owner was EXTREMELY unprofessional. The turnover rate with the assistance was terrible. There were so many that one lost our paperwork and we ended up having to pay more out of pocket because we couldn't get the deposit back. They withheld partial of our security deposit after we cleaned, and put everything back the way it was supposed to be AND got approval from the owners son before leaving. This place was terrible. Highly do NOT recommend.

    When we first decided to go with this venue we were excited and thrilled because we had to switch venues a couple months before our wedding . However our feelings greatly changed when we found out 2 weeks before the wedding our wedding rep would be working somewhere else . Management never told me when I went in for meetings I had to ask ! But what really bothered me was that so much information that we were told Yes to was changed and things started taking a negative turn since we were working with a new wedding rep . Management did not take into account that wrong information was given to us and he didn't even try to work with us knowing the correct information wasn't given . For example we were told that for extra hours for rehearsal would be $25 per hour but that night we had to get a extra hour and it was $100.00 ! And even after we paid 100.00 the rude Owner came in while our wedding party was leaving and cleaning up sayings time is up and starting cutting the lights off and on ! And even yelled at my Fiancée ! The owner is the issue at this venue the staff is amazing but everything has to go through him and he doesn't understand the needs of clients or has compassion ! And the day of the wedding he moved our cups which we were told we could leave at the bar station and no one could find them ,found out he gave us a different pack of cups (that had been opened)but couldn't tell us were our original cups were I assume he misplaced them ! But to make matters worse we paid for additional hours for the wedding since we were advised to do ,so the event could run smoothly . But we ended up not using the additional hours the owner was passive at first saying he didn't know if we could get our money back because it hasn't been done in the past and he will leave it up to the accountant . So days later he used the excuse of my dj leaving 5mins after the wedding party left to not give us our money back ! He is very stingy and selfish I don't recommend anyone here!
