“We traveled to Las Vegas to get married. We knew we wanted to celebrate with family and friends upon our return home. We wanted it to be a party to remember, with a live band and great food, so we spent a lot of time scouting out possibilites. I wish we would have met up with the team at Music Box first! Right away, we knew it was a win. Not only is the venue GORGEOUS (we had our reception on the lower level in the Supper Club - PERFECT), but it had the capability to provide professional live music, insanely delicious food that our guests were raving about for days afterwards, and the best customer service I could have asked for from the team. And to top it off, they worked with our budget to ensure we could have an amazing event without breaking the bank. Specifically, our coordinator, Marissa, and our server, Christina, went above and beyond to ensure we had the best time of our lives. Our reception was a bit unconventional, but they went with our ideas and made them even better than we could have imagined. The night was so amazing that our guests told us we should have a party just like our reception every five years. I can't recommend Music Box Supper Club any more for your event, I promise it will be a night to remember!!!”

“Docks Beach House was the perfect venue for our wedding day! From the moment we first contacted Chassey, their communication was quick, easy, and incredibly kind - they were so accommodating throughout the entire planning process. The venue itself is absolutely stunning, with perfect views of the white sandy beach and an amazing setup that exceeded our expectations. Chassey and her crew handled the entire day flawlessly, from the set up to the buffet and cocktails. They were truly the best, and made our dream wedding a reality - all while staying within our budget! They even offer a decor rental option that saved us so much time and money.
