  I loved having my wedding at the B.O.B. We had our reception at the Top of the B.O.B. (3rd floor) and it was more than enough room for our 150 guests. The manager, Carolyn, was extremely helpful and accommodating to our every need. She was so prompt in returning emails and calls. We even had to change the number of guests <24 hours before our wedding date and she still arranged for that.
  
  The food at the BOB is delicious. I highly recommend the gouda potatoes!! But everything we had (buffet style) was yummy, and they helped move all our guests through the buffet quickly and efficiently. They even boxed up food for us to take home later!
  
  I can't imagine a venue that could have been better for my wedding, and best of all, the value for what we paid was amazing! I couldn't believe that I could have my dream wedding at such a reasonable price. It made me very grateful. I highly recommend the BOB!

  Everything was so good! We loved working with the staff here, and Charlie was the best event manager we could have asked for! He even had some of the leftover food boxed up for us to take with us after the wedding!

  We had our reception at EVE in the BOB. It was a combination of contemporary elegance. Gilmore Collection did a wonderful job of accomodating our ever request to make our day perfect. The wait staff was personable and attentive. The food turned out fantastic and guests have raved!

  The B.O.B made our reception a dream. Our voicemails were *always* returned, many just an hour from our call. They set up an incredible spread months before your wedding so you can taste your menu items. They also plan a meeting with you the day before to make sure the details are perfect. The night of the wedding, the entire staff was so kind and reassuring, wishing us a beautiful night and everyone was SO professional! Our coordinator the night of the wedding had everything so streamlined, all we needed to do was sit back and enjoy our night. And our guests couldn't stop raving about the food. It's the farthest thing from "wedding food." It looked and tasted as wonderful as it did at our tasting.

  Our reception was held at the B.O.B. on the 4th floor. The room is absolutley beautiful and the staff was wonderful to work with. We had no problems with anything, from planning the reception to having the actual reception. Great price, everything was perfect. Staff was very helpful and really helped anywhere that we needed (ie. putting gifts in the car, decorating the tables.)

  Our reception was in the 3rd floor location of The Top of The BOB. It is a beautiful room and suited us perfectly. We really appreciated how quick Laura Scholten was to respond to our e-mails and phone calls. We felt we had excellent service by everyone throughout the entire process as well as on the wedding day. Jacob was in charge on the night of and every time we saw him, he had a smile on his face. He and our coordinator, Michelle, seemed to work really well together, which made us feel at ease. The food was excellent and the servers were so on the ball with cleaning up that the room stayed perfect until the end. Although we "lost" a few drinks along the way! We were extremely happy with The BOB and would definitely recommend them to anyone.

  The BOB is beautiful and they have fantastic food. I planned my wedding around the dates the BOB had open because I knew I HAD to have my reception there. It's so awesome and if people wanted to go to other bars they were welcome to. The staff was all very professional. The only problem I had was with the DJ (the house DJ). He asked me at one of our meetings if he could play the music videos on the big screen while people were dancing to get them going and excited. I told him that while I thought it was a nice idea and that some couples might like it, we did NOT want that. I made it very clear and yet he played the video anyway. Luckily I caught it right away and had someone go up to him and turn it off, but the video to the song was extremely distasteful and a good number of people were very offended. Also, he over charged us by $100 dollars and was very slow in returning it to us. Other than that (and the BOB offers two other DJ's), it was a GREAT evening, and people are still raving about our wedding (to us and our parents), how fun it was, and especially how good the food was.

  Gilmore Catering is the catering service of the BOB. the food is really good, the venue is amazing. Service is great, the event manager was very helpful on our needs and sees to it that everything is working good during the reception dinner. They're very attentive to details. Overall, great catering to work with.

  I loved having my reception at the top of the BOB. It is such a beautiful room and decently priced. They always emailed me back the very next day whenever I emailed a question or changed things.

  I cannot comment on the quality of service because I have decided to go somewhere else, but the two girls who showed me the space were unprofessional. The first did not provide any details and didn't even try to showcase the beautiful space. The second, I had requested a certain date, that date was booked the morning I had my appointment and she didn't advise until I got there at 2pm--not to mention she wasn't prepared with any other availability. I took a half day off of work just to be told my date was gone and so was every Saturday for that month. Very minimal flexibility on times as well. I feel as though they let the price sell itself and put no effort into the brides checking out the space. I was highly disappointed and do not have confidence in their ability to coordinate a reception when they can't even call me ahead of time.
