Amazing place, amazing night!!!
I can't say enough things about The Reception Center and their team!!! We had such a fabulous time at our own wedding and we owe it all to Marybeth and her staff. The staff is incredible. So attentive, made sure everything was perfect. It all went better and smoother than I could have ever imagined. From start to finish, the planning process, communication, help with finding vendors, dealing with last minute requests from us with a smile and a YES. Everyone who attended said the food was incredible (I wish I had eaten more, I wouldn’t have eaten at all most likely had it not been for the staff! They made me a plate and made me sit for 5 minutes and eat something, so grateful to them for that!) We had such an unbelievable time at our own wedding because we never had to think of a thing once it got started! This place is amazing and the most reasonably priced place we found to boot. They could easily charge more and it would still be worth it. I can't thank them enough for giving us such an extraordinary evening through all of their hard work. It was an amazing night and they made it happen! We thank them from the bottom of our hearts.
BEST NIGHT!
Our wedding at The Reception Center was beyond all our expectations. The guests are still calling us and raving about the food and service. Thank you, Marybeth, Brian and The Reception Center staff for a night we will never forget!
Highly Recommend!
From the very start of our wedding planning, Marybeth made everything so much less stressful. She was always willing to answer any and all questions. She is extremely knowledgeable! On the day of our wedding, Marybeth was there to check in with us to make sure everything was going just as planned. We highly recommend the Reception Center for a wedding because it is a beautiful venue and all of the staff are extremely kind and helpful!
Mother of the groom
August 2023- had the best time. Dreams were made by the staff to make it just the perfect wedding! All the guests have been raving about The food the whole experience was just priceless!
