Wonderful the view is awesome the decorations beautiful. Thank you ODA for a filling dinner/ DJ for live music / family-friend pictures and overall fun for the kids. They loved it but just being at windows was worth the trip

The food was very well prepared. The servers were on top of getting the dinner to patrons quickly. The security staff was pleasant and helpful. The entire group made the wedding reception a very nice event. I was impressed.

I wish I could give a 4. A little disappointed with this venue (sorry). Since this was during COVID, I thought the venue would have spread guests out, 8 guests to a table is tight to begin with, would have been more appropriate if they took social distancing a little more seriously, over 200 on the guest list. They did make an announcement for guest to wear masks and if they did not have one they would be able to provide them. I found slightly disappointing is the vegetarian meal, the pasta was boring & bland (however the grilled veg was delicious), a half twice baked potato was a compliment

Beautiful venue for any special occasion. 😊Our daughter was married here on July 30th The food was wonderful. Only downside which was heard by a few of our guests was that the AC could have been bumped a… little lower at the reception for the dancing. It was a little uncomfortable for those trying to dance. Other than that, it was a beautiful venue !!!!
