It has been a true nightmare working with these people. You can’t get anyone on the phone. They are not willing to work with you. They send you automated messages when you ask questions. I wanted to support a black business but they don’t make it easy. They charge you by the hour for decorating your own event. Jot personable or reasonable.

We hosted my sister’s baby shower at Keya Graves Events, and I cannot say enough good things about it! The whole process was smooth and stress-free, booking was easy, communication was clear, and the staff was so accommodating.

We chose the soul food buffet, and it was worth every single cent. Everything was seasoned to perfection, but those beef ribs we added? BABYYY, they were thee best! Tender, flavorful, and a total crowd favorite. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about the food.

The banquet servers were professional, attentive, and made sure every guest was taken care of. The space itself was beautiful and spacious, the perfect backdrop for such a special day.

If you’re looking for a venue that delivers great food, excellent service, and a smooth planning experience, Keya Graves Events is it. I’d book with them again in a heartbeat!

The convenience of location are good and the additions that they offer but other than that the communication was only about money, if I inquired about a question about the packages they offered it was not answered, if a deposit was not made, and if feels like you’re taking to a computer because when you call the number posted in google, no answer EVER but instead you’ll get a text, that which caused me ultimately to go with another venue for my event.

Nice size for any event and it has a bar inside with bartender I think that come with the pricing.

Went to a 50th Birthday thos 0ast Saturday, one of the first guest there, immediately upon entering the room I noticed how hot the main ballroom is. It was 4 ppl in the room. The staff are very nice I asked them why is so hot in here and is the AC on, he replied yes. Needless to say with a room with over 75 ppl the temperature was really hot. They did have a industrial floor fan but that did nothing unless you were standing in front of it.

Wedding at Keya Graves – June 7, 2025

I really wish I didn’t have to write this, but people deserve to know the truth.

Keya Graves seems like a good deal — affordable, “all-inclusive,” promising to make your day easier. What I learned is that you really do get what you pay for — and in my case, even less.

From the start of the day, I was more stressed than celebratory. Cocktail hour started 45 minutes late, and several things I paid for were completely missing. I was told they were “short-staffed” — as if weddings aren’t planned months in advance. That excuse is weak and unprofessional.

Dinner was delayed, and I did not receive all the food I paid for. Period. I paid for the upgraded dinner option to treat my guests, which included spare ribs — a premium item. They were dried out, overcooked, and embarrassing. On top of that, entire menu items were missing, with no explanation and no apology. Guests left hungry. It felt careless, disorganized, and frankly, disrespectful.

And if you can believe it — they didn’t even have seats for the wedding party. I gave clear instructions ahead of time about how many people needed to be seated at the head table. When we arrived, there was a table — but no chairs. My mom had to argue with the staff, and I stood in heels for 10 minutes while they scrambled to find me a chair. That moment alone was humiliating.

I also brought in my own tablecloths — custom-ordered and not cheap. Only a few were used, and the rest were lost. Never returned. No follow-up. No apology. The dessert bar? A sad joke — stale, store-bought cakes that not even the kids would touch.

I also paid for a Photo Booth through the venue. It didn’t start until two hours after it was scheduled, because the person they hired didn’t know how to work it. We missed half our rental time.

The venue itself? The floors are warped and uneven — actually unsafe in heels — and the lighting is so dim that even professional photos came out too dark.

And after all that chaos — delays that were entirely their fault — they still locked the venue right on time while we were loading out, locking some of my belongings inside. I reached out to get them back. No response. Nothing.

What makes it worse is how money-hungry they are. They hound you for every dollar, expect you to follow their contract to the letter, and blow up your inbox when they want payment. But when they break the contract? Deliver far less than promised? Silence. They don’t care.

Weddings are once-in-a-lifetime events. You don’t get a redo. And what should have been the happiest day of my life was instead full of stress, scrambling, and disappointment. I’ll never get that back.

If you want a cheap space and don’t mind micromanaging every detail yourself, maybe this works. But if you want to feel taken care of on your wedding day — like you’re not fighting for basic things you paid for — stay far away from this venue.

They dropped the ball. They broke promises. And worst of all? They didn’t even care.

I wasn't impressed, they didn't even provide ice or any help with setup nothing, I guess if you pay for the space that's all you get.

I think they might be crazy I was inquiring about a graduation party for my daughter for 50-75 ppl… and they said they have to cater and it will cost 2,500 that makes no sense…this why ppl don’t like using black owned businesses…don’t not go here waste of time and ridiculously high…
