    As a caterer we work with several venues. The Helms Hall has been added to the list. The process was so seamless. Nicole was very accommodating and easy to work with. Thank you for a wonderful experience. We will certainly be back!

    Booked the venue for a family reunion and had a great experience. We started out booking a smaller portion of the space, but were able to expand into the full space once more relatives RSVP'd. Nicole was very knowledgeable and kept things running smoothly. The space was accessible for our relatives with mobility issues and the parking was ample and didn't require a long walk.

    Hi Matt! Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! We are so glad you and your family had such a great time with us! Your family knows how to party! You're more than welcome to come back and shake the house down with us ANYTIME! Hope to see you all again soon!

    The space is nice, open, and adaptable to any type of event. I’ve been to a few events at The Helms Hall and they’ve all run very smoothly and seamlessly. The venue manager, Nicole, goes above and beyond to make sure everyone’s events are memorable, special, and as stress-free as possible for event organizers!

    This is a great venue option. The interior is nice and modern and can be sectioned off so it is as spacious or cozy as you'd like. The outdoor terrace is a great perk that many other places don't have. Having it connected directly to the main event space, and being able to go back and forth easily, is very cool.

    The Helms Hall•Apr 29, 2026

    Shane! Thank you for the fantastic review! We're honored to have earned your recommendation, especially as a local guide! We're so glad you had a great experience with us and look forward to seeing you again next time in the future!

    My company held a business luncheon for 80 here. The space is large, well kept, and the terrace is very cool. Nicole accommodated us on everything we asked for and was available immediately when we needed anything. Bonus that there’s so much easy parking available. We were extremely happy with the way things went and will be returning for future events.

    Hi Olliver! Thank you so much for the lovely review! We were so glad to host your luncheon! We hope we can keep serving your company with whatever needs you have soon!
