| - Blown away.
This banquet hall is absolutely beautiful. Soaring high ceilings, and just tons of little architectural extras to make it special. The ceremony took place in a room that had a large staircase at the back of it, which allowed the wedding party to enter dramatically.
The reception area was beautifully decorated and the service was unobtrusive. The food was phenomenal. It was a mix of a Chinese and Italian wedding, which meant that I basically had three full dinners in the span of 4 hours. There was an antipasto/seafood buffet, featuring the most amazing thing I've ever seen: a Peking duck table. We started with pasta in tomato sauce with mushroom risotto. The pasta was a tiny bit undercooked, but I'd take that over mushy pasta in a million years. I really enjoyed that it had a lot of bite to it, actually. I LOVED the tomato sauce. I could have eaten just that and been super happy. The next course was a veal chop with veggies and potatoes. Basically, if I were at a restaurant, I'd get just this plate and be full for the evening. But that was not going to happen. After that we had lobster and crab legs. It was pretty good, but I generally like it to be cooked Chinese style, not broiled. There was also an ice cream crepe for dessert, but I had some fruit as I'm dairy-free. Or rather, I had three cubes of fruit and left the rest as I was barely breathing at this point. The kids got chicken fingers and fries and I saw that they were very accommodating to other peoples' food sensitivities as well.
All in all, this may have been the most well-executed wedding across the board that I'd seen, and the venue had a lot to do with it. Food was fantastic and brought out and taken away in good time, the service was en pointe and it just looked amazing. This is a fantastic spot to hold your event.
Oh, and ample parking as well.
