    Amazing!!!Five Star !!! A very classy nice banquet hall

    Five Star !!! A very classy nice banquet hall.
    We had our wedding reception there a couple of weeks ago.
    The management did everything for us.
    We had their signature Family style dinner with open bar,and everything was excellent.
    Along with the excellent food, the service and the room were awesome.
    We highly recommend it

    All in all, this place was awesome. We got a lot of compliments from our guest on the food, and just how beautiful the place looked. I personally fell in love with their two large chandeliers above the dance floor. There was plenty of room to walk trough no crowding like I've seen happen before at a different party. They are very accommodating if you need something special and they can provide it they will. Just an all around beautiful place that I would recommend or even book again.

    If I could give them 10 stars for value, I would. This place was awesome! They were so helpful and sweet. We had some billing problems (last payment check got lost in the mail) and they worked with us to make the wedding happen. Sweet people. You won't find them advertised much - they are an "old mom and pop" company and get most business from return customers. A hidden gem if you ask me!

    My husband and I originally selected Niko's for our reception location because they offered the best deal, offering us the most for our money. When you see their banquet room at first it seems kind of tacky. The decor is outdated and old. However, after we dressed it up with our chair covers, centerpieces, uplighting, and decorations, the rooms looked beautiful. The service was excellent! I brought my favors, table names, pictures frames, and places cards to Niko's the week of the wedding and they set up everything for me. The bridal suite had a bottle of champagne for myself, my husband, and our bridal party. The bar was extremely fast too. Everyone commented on how quickly they were getting their drinks. Also, the bar only closed for half an hour during dinner as opposed to the whole time. Niko's was very accommodating.

    Niko's is the perfect place to hold your wedding. We had so much fun and everything turned out perfect. The staff and owner are very nice and helpful. If you need anything they are just a phone call away. If you are looking to book your wedding or any event I would highly reccomend this place!

    Despite the negative reviews Nikos has received, my husband and I had a great experience at our reception. From the day we signed the contract, I had a million questions. Nikos was responsive and helpful with all of them. Their strongest point is the cost. The cost was very reasonable compared to other vendors in the area, and that includes great food, your wedding cake, and an open bar. The staff was always friendly and accommodating. All in all, I would recommend Nikos if you are looking to have a special, but affordable wedding.

    Niko's did an AMAZING job for my 9.10.11 wedding. I know that some of my family was a little apprehensive about me having my reception at this venue, because quite frankly... it's dated.

    However, Niko's is a hidden gem. They were very affordable for their basic "per plate" pricing, which allowed room in my budget for me to upgrade. I literally had EVERYTHING I wanted. Our dinner was AMAZING, everything was fresh! It was not your typical Family-Style dinner. We served Grecian Chicken, that was incredibly moist, potatoes that were cooked perfectly. Sliced Sirloin of beef that was cooked MEDIUM as we requested. (usually wedding meat looks gray, if you ask me.)We also served braised lamb with rosamarina, green beans almondine, and Penne with Vodka sauce. Everything was delicious, warm, and when we asked for more, we got it. The thing about Niko's family-style menu, is that they will literally make whatever you want. We upgraded our appetizers to butler style for about $3.50/per person. They served chicken and beef on mini-skewers, spanakopita, tiropita, meatballs, spring rolls..etc. They weren't skimpy on appetizers either, everyone raved about how much food we served. Which was a good thing, since Niko's open bar also includes SHOTS! We were able to bring in out own Jagermeister and Monster to serve to guests, but any other shots were included.

    Everything at Niko's far surpassed my expectations. My only complaint was that it took them awhile to remove my cake table from the dance floor, so our first dances got started a little late. Apparently it was a misunderstanding because Niko's typically bags up slices of cake "to-go"--- I didn't realize that they weren't going to actually serve it. That's my fault, because it is clearly stated that unless we specifically request the cake to be served, they box it up. They do a really neat performace when making their flaming cherries jubilee for dessert.

    If you have any questions about this vendor, please message me. I really would give them a chance. They are slowly, but surely updating to become competitive with other venues...but their price and value is unlike any other. I've been to some gorgeous wedding venues, and had a HORRIBLE meal... Niko's recently updated all of their glassware, plates, and silverware.. our meals were delicious. I would be more that happy to show pictures of how we transformed a plain room into our dream wedding!

    We had our ceremony and reception here, and they were so great to us. They cut us a ton of deals and worked with us to get the vision we wanted. Everything was amazing and a great deal. They do a lot of inclusive pricing and if you're despairing at the thought of buying/renting a hundred things for your reception...check them out. We paid one price to them for food, cake, bar, and linens. It was no stress on us whatsoever.

    They were awesome to work with... some things at the reception could have flowed a bit more smoothly... but Nikos was very accommodating... You also do get alot for your money and they are willling to negotiate pricing/packages, etc... My only suggestion is if you book with them, make sure that the hall next to your wedding isn't hiring a band or mariachis!

    We got lots of compliments on the food. The food was fabulous! The prices were even better. I was not expecting to have such amazing food for the price that they charged compared to other banquet halls. They also include the cake in their wedding packages, however the bakery they use now is terrible with wedding cakes, so if you have the funds -- I'd get your cake elsewhere.

    The service the day of was amazing. The servers were super attentive, and I believe my guests enjoyed themselves. The complaint I have is for the days leading up to the wedding. We wanted to have a lot of décor for our party, and we had called ahead of time to make sure that the florist and wedding coordinator could come in at least 2 hours before the party started, and we got a lot of pushback. It wasn't until almost the day before when my husband complained that they finally gave us some leeway and let us come in 2 hours beforehand to set up. I don't think they realize that not everybody wants to use their centerpieces, some people want to do more décor and have their parties more personalized. They also gave us a hard time about leaving a small (I'm talking super-duper small like half the size of a very small car) trailer in their parking lot overnight or even just in the morning so our wedding coordinator could have everything there for set up. Again once my husband complained, they finally gave in.

    Overall I would absolutely recommend this venue for a wedding or other large party. The food and pricing is amazing, and the atmosphere is pretty once you put your special touch on it. Just be prepared to speak to management about accommodations that you might need for your party set up.

    We are in the middle of a chrisis with this venue. When my friend got married and had her reception here a year ago, everyhting was flawless and beautiful. Mine however was not. Their communication with their clients is not the best. I live out of state and the tax went up for a second time in 2008 and I was not notified that the cost of the plate per person had gone up so I was not prepared for this. My wedding cake was not matched to the color sample I brought in so I was devistated over that.
    We just had so many problems with this venue was very disappointing to me. It was not at all accomidating to a winter wedding. The building was freezing cold and I had several guests leave before dinner due to the freezing cold temperature.

    The food here is great and you get a lot for your money. But we had a problem with roachs on my parents tables and the air conditioning was leaking on my in-laws table.
