I loved the venue the size is great and the employees are very helpful. I was so satisfied with all the end result that I enjoyed my event her to the fullest. The green grass was so beautiful good for pictures.

I recently had my wedding reception in the Seaside Room and it was absolutely amazing. A beautiful new building with such cute décor/design, clean carpets, a kitchen and very comfortable chairs (which is a bonus). I would recommend this room to anyone who asked. The staff was helpful and easy to talk to and the price was just right.
