We had our wedding at Trinity Hall and were thrilled with how smoothly everything went. Marcie, the venue coordinator, was amazing to work with. She responded to emails quickly and was always polite and professional in our communications. When we had to change our wedding date, Trinity Hall was very accommodating in helping us secure a new date that worked for our schedule. The venue itself is quite large with plenty of space available for both the ceremony and reception. Marcie gave us detailed recommendations on how certain areas should be set up which was incredibly helpful. Given the quality of the venue and Marcie's attention to detail, we felt Trinity Hall offered great value for the price. We highly recommend them to any engaged couple searching for the perfect wedding venue and coordinator!

We hosted my husbands military retirement party at Upstairs at Rue de Jean and to say it was one of the best decisions I have ever made is an understatement. Sass made communication and planning so easy. There were no hidden costs, what was quoted to us is what we paid. The bartenders and staff took care of everything. The venue is so beautiful we kept our own decor minimal. We are so thankful we got to relax and spend a night we won't forget celebrating my husband's accomplishments with friends and family.

The space contains a large entry, spacious bar, beautiful main room, and a lounge and loft. From the moment you walk in you are greeted with brick, dark woods, green, and gold in a romantic and elegant way. There's tile and wood floors with decorated walls that made this area so much more appealing than an empty banquet hall. Emily communicated with me through email and phone quickly, often, and professionally. She was the biggest help to this out of town bride! Her and her team put on an amazing event down to personalized menus and beyond excellent service from the bartenders to the many servers. Our guests also told us that the filet they had was the best they ever had! We had 60 guests and had plenty of room for a dance floor, dj, and photobooth area. We did our cocktail hour and reception here. I could not recommend Halls enough!
