“Samuels Grande manor experience was amazing. From the huge getting ready rooms that came with complimentary drinks and food. To organizing the mases of people we had. To making sure we were on time for our schedule. To the amazing food. We had a buffet that came with hor dourves, cocktail drinks at the fountain bar, open bar for reception, plated salad, big buffet line, plated desert and a desert table. The food was so good and hot. After our big day we didn't have to pick up our things til a couple days later which was so nice to have the next day to relax. Mark at samuels was a great person to work with and made everything seem so easy. All the staff was great to work with. Highly recommend.”

“We had my granddaughters 2nd birthday party at The Warehouse. It turned out to be a spectacular event! The Warehouse provided us with everything we needed to make it a special day. They arranged for a bounce house in the yard area in the back for the kids to play. All of the cutlery and china was provided for lunch and the menu was simple and easy for both parents and kids. All the kids had a great time playing together outside together in the bounce house and there was plenty of room for them to run about outdoors and have fun. I highly recommend The Warehouse for any type of party or family gathering you may be having. Plenty of room inside and out and the ambiance is great too. It's a cool place with a flair that you don't see very often these days.”

We were able to pick vendors that fit our vision for our wedding, and Jan was there with recommendations and guidance along the way. Being able to borrow decorations from the borrower’s closet was a huge plus. Our guests all had a great time (despite the 90 degree heat in July) and it was an unforgettable day.
