Roundhead Brewing Company was the perfect venue for our wedding celebration. From the beginning, their communication was professional, detail-oriented and accommodating. The space itself has a classic, industrial and spacious feel that provided the ideal backdrop for our special day. They were willing to make special accommodations to ensure everything went smoothly, and the entire team was so friendly and community-oriented. The communication was seamless, and they were on time with all event details which I greatly appreciated. I plan to host additional events at Roundhead Brewing Company in the future as they truly helped make our wedding day everything we had hoped for.

The Coach Grill is one of our favorite regular restaurants, serving delicious steaks among other things. I have hosted two special celebrations in a private room there-my mother's 90th birthday and my wife's 60th birthday. Both were huge successes. All the guests commented on the great food, excellent service and warm ambiance. I highly recommend the Coach Grill for your special events too.

We recently had the immense pleasure of working with Meaghan, an outstanding special events manager who helped us organize our post-elopement party at the House of Blues. The experience was nothing short of magical, and we owe it all to her. From the very first meeting to the final note of music, Meaghan was the driving force behind an unforgettable evening. She listened to our goals for the event (a very non-traditional party), made suggestions to ensure our wishes were fulfilled. She brought our vision to life in a way that exceeded all our expectations. One of the most remarkable aspects of our collaboration with Meaghan was her impeccable attention to detail. She was beyond organized and handled every facet of the event with precision and care, from arranging the perfect decor to coordinating with our band and vendors as well as the House of Blues team members seamlessly. Our guests were not just impressed; they were blown away by the entire evening. The atmosphere was electric, and Meaghan played a pivotal role in creating a night filled with music, laughter, and memories that will last a lifetime. From the lighting and sound, table arrangements, and the delectable catering options, every element of our party was flawlessly executed. What truly sets Meaghan and the entire team at House of Blues apart is their ability to understand their clients' vision and turn it into reality. Making such a complex event feel effortless is no small feat. Meaghan's dedication and passion for her work were evident throughout the planning process, and she always made us feel like we were her top priority. We cannot express how thrilled we are with how everything turned out. Thanks to Meaghan, our post-elopement party at the House of Blues was an absolute dream come true. The memories created that night will be treasured for years to come. If you're looking for an amazing venue and awesome experience for your special event, with people who can transform your vision into a remarkable reality, we wholeheartedly recommend Meaghan and the team at the House of Blues. Thank you for making our post-elopement party a night to remember! D & A

If you are looking for a city restaurant-style reception, Pagu is truly the best of the best. First of all, you can't beat the food, it is incredible! Not your typical wedding food, thank god! The team at Pagu, especially Amanda the manager, are so kind and helpful. They made the whole planning process so easy and enjoyable and we felt so welcome and special every time we visited the restaurant. They also worked seamlessly with our planner and our other vendors. We are so thrilled that we chose Pagu for our reception and can't wait to be able to go back for our anniversaries for years to come!
