We had our son's First Holy Communion at Traveler's Rest and are very pleased with the experience. The venue is charming and the grounds are beautiful. The food was very good and the staff was attentive and polite. Nelson was great in helping us plan a menu and accomodating our requests. The price was reasonable as well. A great experience, I'd recommend Traveler's rest to anyone!

**Updated Review - previous post edited due to inaccurate information** Terrible management. Stay far away! After settling on a date and price, I submitted three final questions(not dictating their pricing/charges) a few days before submitting the deposit, and rather than answering the questions, they actually told me “I don’t think we are the right place for your event.” There was no follow up text or phone call, and therefore my wife and I were amazed in the lack of patience and flexibility from an event hall. We're glad we didn't submit a deposit, because if this is how they treat their clients prior to the event, we can't imagine(though now we've heard other stories from a number of people in the area) how they will treat clients.

After my father passed away, my wife planned a Celebration of Life. She only had about four weeks to plan the event for family and friends flying in from around the country. We are grateful that we found Traveler's Rest. Nelson, the owner, was extremely helpful and responsive. He always got back to us within 24 hours, and often within 1-2 hours of messaging him. He helped us plan a special event in a short amount of time.
Venue: We held our event in the Lantern Room. It was the perfect size for our event. It was a very hot summer day, but the room was comfortable. It had a lovely garden view, and despite the heat, quite a few guests took walks outside to look at the garden. Traveler's Rest provided all of the tables, linens, dishes, flatware, etc.
Catering: We opted for a brunch buffet. The food was good and plentiful. Traveler's Rest was able to offer several alternatives the menu to accommodate our guests' dietary restrictions (we had a lot of vegetarians). The staff were helpful about double checking some of the food ingredients for allergens during the event.
Extra: Three of our guests were nursing mothers. Nelson offered us access to an additional room (not included in our contract) that had a couch and some privacy to nurse. He made sure to greet each of the mothers when they arrived and show them where the room was.
We highly recommend Traveler's Rest for your Celebration of Life or other special event. Nelson and his staff provide excellent service and great communication.

We had a great time at Travelers Rest. Everyone loved the food and room. We had my daughter’s bridal shower in the main room. And the men stayed in the bar watching the football game. I wish I knew about this place before. We would have had more parties there.

Great food and ambiance! Great venue for catering a party!

No one throws an event like Traveler’s Rest! The space is beautiful and they know how to use it. The staff at the event were fun, helpful, and courteous. The planning was easy and management helped the entire way through. They were flexible with requests. They have overhead speakers for music, TVs for photos. And by far the food was the best. I had multiple wedding guests text me after the event telling me they never had food as good at a wedding. And they covered multiple types of cuisine and it was all top notch. Traveler’s Rest is Best In Class for events and I will always recommend them.

We had a great wedding day, and Travelers Rest played a big part in making it come together. Nelson and Nelson Jr. were professional and responsive throughout the planning process and really helped bring our ideas to life. We loved how they supported our vision and made sure everything ran smoothly. The best part was the AMAZING food, only wish that we could have it everyday. Would definitely recommend having an event here.

I had my daughter’s bridal shower today July 21. The food was amazing The staff was fantastic! Nelson was wonderful to work with. Everybody absolutely loved and raved about Travelers Rest ! The cake made on premises was sooooo good. People who usually don’t eat cake had it and said it was the best cake they ever had. I gave Nelson a picture of the cake and they made it exactly like the picture. I will definitely be referring Travelers Rest. Gorgeous ambiance. Extremely happy with their venue. Thank you for everything!

Hi Nelson Salazar,
In response to your reply to our review I would like to clarify that we requested to see the outside of the building and the surrounding grounds while it was lit up at night during the event. This was the original request for returning on Tuesday night. In our email when we confirmed we would be coming to see the grounds, we requested to be accommodated regarding the food because my fiancé did not want to serve our loved ones food that we have never tasted. This is for our wedding and we apologize for wanting to solidify details and ensure it would be a happy occasion. We are also sorry that you think this behavior, or moreso your response, is appropriate customer service and it does not put your customer at ease.

Reconsider your venue if you want customer service or just someone willing to work with you. We did not use their venue for our event but I will attach the email correspondence to give you an idea of how this business is run.

Just had my daughter’s baby shower brunch and it was amazing. Nelson and his family went out of their way to make my daughter’s day perfect. Super accommodating and very easy to deal with. Food was excellent and plentiful. Awesome staff as well.
