Stress free day
They took the stress out of planning, I would’ve been so overwhelmed without Tricia’s help, she is very knowledgeable in every detail...no surprises when it came to prices. Our room looked even better than I could have imagined! So many compliments on the food, it was on point. When it was time to leave, everything was already packed up and ready to go on a simple cart to our car. -

Occasions Party Centre did such a specular job for our big day. Tricia is an absolutely invaluable asset to the Occasions team. From our initial meeting over a year ago through the big day, she was extremely responsive and helpful. I cannot begin to count the amount of questions she fielded and answered timely through our experience.
From the time we booked with Occasion’s in the Garden Room a year ago they’ve completely renovated the space. When we booked we loved the quality, price, and size…but were blown away by the updates. The new, modern look accented our vision perfectly. I actually started to tear up when I walked into the venue the night of the rehearsal. After all, I had given them all of my décor in boxes with no direction (poor bridal move) and they took the thoughts right out of my mind.
Our guest are still raving about the food—the mac n’ cheese, top notch! Not a single complaint.
The bartenders—INCREDIBLE. Our guest like to have a good time and their ability to keep up with the requests was nothing next to impressive. There was never a wait, even with a crowded bar.
I would recommend Occasions without hesitation to any bride in search of a beautiful, updated, and STRESS FREE wedding venue. They are the pros at what they do—there is a reason why they’ve been in the business for so long.

I cannot say enought wonderful things about Occasions Party Centre and the staff. They were so amazing!!! Our wedding was absolutely perfect. Lisa and her crew took care of us from start to finish. From the ceremony to the reception, everything was fabulous. I'm still getting compliments on the promptness of the wait staff, the beauty of the entire area, and how delicious the food was. -

Great Experience for a Reasonable Price
We were a couple who had our wedding cancelled by our previous venue three times (due to COVID), leaving us to start the planning process all over again 67 days before our event. We were lucky to have found Occasions, which provided excellent food and service without a room rental fee or mandatory gratuity fee. On top of that, we were able to get our cake from Occasions Bakery, which gave us one less vendor to search for. And Occasions allowed us to drop off all our decor (and my instructions) a week before the wedding, and they set everything up for us free of charge. It was beautiful. The response times were excellent, usually no more than a couple hours. And we were able to get gorgeous photos on the grounds even though we held our ceremony elsewhere. I would definitely recommend this venue, and would have chosen it even if I had had much longer to plan.-

Occasions is a completely gorgeous facility and they have the best value (thanks to their all inclusive packages-no service fees, gratuities, etc.!) Everyone who came to my reception fell in love-the food was DELICIOUS, it was beautiful, and the staff were fantastic (they even went above and beyond for a family member I have in a wheelchair). My reception was in the Garden Room-the larger room upstairs-and it was perfection. We took photos there and during the reception people were able to hang out on the grounds and patio outside (the kids particularly enjoyed this). I worked with Abby and Lisa during my year and a half engagement and they were always so helpful with questions and requests. I cannot recommend Occasions enough, it was by far the best decision I made for my wedding! -

We went to six venues before we were referred to Occasions. We walked in, and knew this had to be the place. Abby and Lisa were amazing to work with - detailed and organized. They also responded to questions and concerns almost immediately. The venue is absolutely stunning. We were in the garden room, which allowed for seating on the outdoor patio and a cigar bar. The guests had a wonderful time. The food was good... the bartenders were fun and everything went smoothly. Would recommend this venue highly. -

Overall, we had a really great experience having our wedding at Occasions. The Garden Room was absolutely beautiful and the staff did a great job decorating and the wait staff was very attentive. The food was delicious. We loved that the drinks are all served in glassware, not plastic cups. Tricia was great about getting back with us quickly with any questions we had. One thing we weren't happy about was that they increased the price of the food/beverages by 6% two months prior to the wedding. They do mention this in the contract, but it makes me wonder if this is something they do with all of their clients. We were very upset and they compromised to only raise it by 3%, but its still frustrating. The other thing we were upset about was during the reception, they started tearing everything down 1 hour before the wedding was scheduled to end. I feel like this put a damper on the party and made people feel like the wedding was ending, well before our time was up. Also, something that other vendors did was reach out to me after the fact to see how everything went. Occasions did not and I think that would have been really appreciated and showed that they cared. -

Such a BEAUTIFUL vendor! I am so pleased with the way that my wedding reception turned out. I have seen various pictures of weddings that were held here, and it is amazing to me how the "look" of the hall changes with the decorations! You can literally decorate however you want for your wedding and it will work. The food was delicious. The staff was helpful. -

Occasions Party Centre was everything we needed for our wedding and reception. The value for their service was really exceptional. We had a few glitches and miscommunications the day of the wedding, and the coordinator that day was someone we had never met previously, while we were expecting to have the woman we had been talking and planning with be the one to run the actual event that day. Overall, however, we could not have dreamed of a more perfect venue for our wedding and reception. We really appreciate all the fine work they did. Also, everything there is BEAUTIFUL. It made for some fabulous pictures and a gorgeous day. -

I was overall very please with Occasions. Like most things with weddings, they do nickle and dime you for every little thing. I was a little frustrated leading up to my wedding because there were some things that we weren't allowed to do with our centerpieces, etc. and it seemed like there was a charge for EVERYTHING. The day of my wedding went very smoothly though. They were very hospitable and the food was great. -

I don't regret having my wedding a year ago @ Occasions. It was the most perfect venue for my wedding. Outdoor area, lots of room in Garden Room. Great dance floor. Pretty environment. I still get compliments on the food! However, the people I worked with didn't make my planning and experience great at all. They were the reason for my pre-wedding stressors. I was originally told when booking that we wouldn't have to pay for no-shows. I find out the week before that wasn't true. My husband even heard the same thing, so I knew I wasn't being crazy. Unfortunate because I had grandma's brother & mom's cousin who were both in & out of the hospital, so they couldn't be guarantees at it got closer. They both, & spouses, were not able to go-at least $250 wasted. Also, we had a band & Occasions less than accommodating for them giving them a closet to put their stuff-- where workers were coming in & out. They did not even let them use a room unless I paid for it! (+$300!) Another HUGE problem was that I was originally told I was going to be able to come in the Friday night before (wedding Saturday) & set things up. My MIL and SIL made the centerpieces, so venue said we could get most things set up & put the flowers in the cooler over night, in which venue would end up placing out the day of. Well, Occasions decided to BOOK AN EVENT in my same room that night before my wedding. I found out about this A WEEK before. They ended up reverting another thing they said & did not let us put flowers in their cooler. I had to bring everything I was going to set up & leave instructions. Well, the instructions also weren't followed. I was supposed to have few tables with 9 spots, but that was not done come wedding time. Bartenders were rude, carding my BRIDESMAID cousin-& only her when she went up w/ a group of bridesmaids. The bar also served a man before serving my grandma who was there 1st. To top it all off, I paid for security but ended up having 3 wedding crashers whom I kicked out. -

Price doesn’t match the quality
They only advertise the pretty garden room with the globes hanging from the ceiling. (Those cost extra to install) That's the room I fell in love with, but when I went for my tour they claimed you had to have a certain head count to use it. So we asked if we could use it for the ceremony and they said they don't do that either (they advertise on their page that they do). We ended up finding out they double book events. So another wedding would happening at the same time. If you get the candlelight room you better hope the other wedding in the garden room doesn't book the bridal suite because it's INSIDE your reception room. The venue claims to be all inclusive but it's more of a nickel and dime up charge for everything down to cutting your cake. You want to bring in a vendor like a DJ $250. Want to bring in your own cake $250. Want to use their napkins another several hundred dollars. They also will slip in that they reserve the right to raise the costs even AFTER you sign a contract. We cancelled our booking 8 MONTHS in advance, but their policy is you still owe 25% of what your wedding should have totaled to cancel plus your non refundable deposit. They received $2000 of free money from us, and still threatened us with their
"legal" department because the check arrived while the owner was out of town. It's an okay venue, but the price and snooty owners do not match the value and quality of the venue! You can find a higher quality venue for the same cost or less with nicer staff.Occasions Party Centre's reply:
Generally, Occasions is happy to discuss all issues with our brides privately and personally so we can make any concerns right prior to an event, but we do feel this public attempt to disparage our facility does need addressed.
First of all, we would like to thank you for taking the time to write a lengthy review that we are able to respond to, since there were no concerns discussed prior to receiving a notice of cancellation. The entire terms and conditions of this event were spelled out and agreed upon willingly prior to any contract being signed, and now there are many false statements being made.
Occasions Party Centre has THREE indoor event rooms and an outdoor Pavilion. We advertise all of these rooms. We also show potential brides/grooms all of the rooms they are interested in PRIOR to signing an event contract. The Garden Room is the only event room with hanging terrarium globe lighting, which are always present in that room. There is NO MINIMUM PERSON requirement for any wedding reception on our facility. Each indoor room coordinates to an outdoor ceremony site with an indoor rain plan. To reserve The Garden Room, for any reason, you would be agreeing to a for that room.
Occasions can have numerous events on the property in one day, each event at a separate starting time and each event with a separate entrance, including the bridal suite which has its own entrance from the outside of the building. It is not inside any other event room. As a multi-room facility we have successfully pulled-off 2 or 3 events on the same date all the time.
Occasions does NOT charge to bring in any DJ of your choice. We also offer wedding cake as part of our all-inclusive package. Cake cutting fees are only applied when choosing an alternative to what is already included (this fee is NOT $250).
ALL white table linen and napkin service is included at no charge. Only upgraded linens have upgraded pricing.
All pricing information, including the deposit and cancelation policy is presented PRIOR to any payments made or contracts are signed.
There was NO price raise applied to this event. And the previous deposit applies toward the cancelation policy/fees. For this specific circumstance, the remaining balance was discounted - as you posted - then a payment plan was agreed upon so that no full amount was ever expected at one time. We are always happy to work with budget needs in case of a cancelation even when the sole reason for canceling is to move to a less expensive venue.
