This past weekend we held our 35th High School reunion in their banquet room. The venue was perfect, the food was fantastic and the service was amazing. Jackie and Maria took such great care of us and were so accommodating. We had a DJ at our party and there was space for the DJ and dancing. They also had tech options and we were able to stream a slide show for our event. It was the perfect option for our party. Would highly recommend their venue if you have a party coming...
