I am so thankful I found my way to the Sunset Ballroom. I really feel like it is a hidden gem among wedding venues and I'm surprised I don't know of /hear of more people getting married there. Nancy is the most amazing person to work with - I had so many questions, and so many emails, and she answered them all so quickly, efficiently, and was SO… ORGANIZED for our big day, which as a super organized bride, delighted me. The Sunset Ballroom gives you sooooo much food for cocktail hour and the food for dinner was so delicious. Not to mention, the view at the Ballroom is amazing!! My guests

We were so happy to have both of our daughters' receptions at the Sunset Ballroom. Our most recent reception was for our second daughter on July 25th, 2021. She and her husband were married in Japan during the Pandemic and could not return to celebrate with family and friends until this summer. We only found out that they would be coming home in March, and we needed to plan the reception for July. Luckily, we knew where to turn, having had such a wonderful experience at the Sunset Ballroom with our eldest daughter's reception in 2013. We were not disappointed, the reception was terrific! Thank

We had our daughter’s wedding here in June. It was perfect! Nancy and her staff made the whole process so easy. The day of the event the staff was so attentive to the guests and the food was awesome. I can’t praise them enough. Thank you for everything!

I had gotten married here in October of 2014. Everything was absolutely amazing and my guests still rave about the beauty and food. My husband and I visit often and attend the Valentine's Day dance. I highly recommend! My sister-in-law and myself both had showers there as well.

STAY AWAY! THESE PEOPLE HAVE NO HEART! I decided to cancel my wedding for next June due to covid uncertainty and the declining health of a family member. Nancy, the manager, refused to refund my deposit despite 8 months notice, no time invested on her part, and June being an easy month to rebook. Pure money making scheme on the part of these venues in light of little revenue during Covid. I am beyond disappointed in the Sunset Ballroom and would never recommend anyone to book an event there.

Your response is a standard stock response and is of no help to me. The reason I am cancelling june 2021 is due to family circumstances and not wanting to hang my hat on covid being over for another 8 months of my life! So OBVIOUSLY i have no interest in rebooking for a later date. My cancellation has nothing to do with covid capacity. It has to do with me deciding to do a small ceremony next month and you having PLENTY of notice to rebook my date. I deserve my money back for your lack of involvement in my wedding to this point and for 8 MONTHS NOTICE!
