Coordinator of an 80th birthday party
We enjoyed a fun-filled evening with many of our closest friends and relatives to celebrate a landmark birthday at the historic Rockingham Ballroom. Everything was perfect, including the planning, communicating with event coordinator, access for decorating and setting up food, cleaning up mishaps, and making sure that everything was done without us having to lift a finger! Robin, Pam and Jim were the most accomodating hosts, and I would highly recommend them and this venue for any event, especially if there is dancing, as the dance floor is heavenly!
Robin Simard•May 2, 2026We are so happy that you had a wonderful time and enjoyed your event. It was a fun evening seeing everyone enjoy the great food and dancing. Robin
