I got married recently in July, and I had over 300 guests at our reception. I had a lot of children and a handful of vegetarians, so I thought it would have been overly confusing, but the service was excellent. The appetizers were served butler-style, and the food itself was exquisite. Some of my guests said the food was the best wedding food they have ever tried. Get the beef and the chicken parmigiana. The beef was so tender and tasty.
I was allowed to set my wedding up two days prior to the event itself, and it saved me a lot of time and trouble. I like the fact that the bar was in another room, so people were able to escape the loud music and enjoy drinks and conversation. The decorations were older such as the round glass mirrors for the tables, but if you have your own or have vendor for your wedding decor, it's more than fine.
The dancefloor was spacious and large enough for our dancing families. I think it's bigger than Avalon Manor's dance floor if I'm not wrong. Overall, it was a wonderful and memorable experience for my husband and me. Thank you, St. Elijah!

The pictures that are advertised of the wedding hall was not the hall offered to me. When I had to change venues due to lack of space they would not give me my deposit!!!

Venue was very nice but this review will be geared towards the food - Would have to say the best wedding grub I've ever had. Appetizers then Family style with many options. We had the Chicken Parm, braised beef, Mashed Potatoes, Green beans, and lets talk about the Chicken bow tie Alfredo - Absolutely Phenomenal. Seriously so so good - all of it! Was trying to get my GF to dump some leftovers into her purse for later.
If the Chef there doesn't have a restaurant of their own then they need one. Let me know the next time you have a wedding there and leave me a plate by the back door
PS - Girlfriend is a vegetarian and they made her a special pasta plate. She barely took a breathe between bites. Very very good!
