Olympic Collection

I will start by saying that the banquet hall is beautiful and the captain on the day of our reception was absolutely wonderful! Aside from that, we had a horrible experience dealing with the owner of the banquet hall. He will nickel and dime you for everything. He will promise you one thing and then go back on his word and say he never promised you that. He did this to me on numerous occasions, in front of my coordinator. He has tons of hidden fees. He told me that there will be no cake cutting fee if I went through his contracted bakers, and later to find out he claims he never told me that and ended up charging me a cake cutting fee. We paid for open bar for 6 hours that had a fully stocked bar including champagne. But if we wanted champagne served during the toast, we had to pay an additional $4.50 a person!

On the day of our reception, he got into an altercation with my coordinator after he once again recanted on a promise he had made me and her. He threatened to ruin our reception in front of all my vendors and his employees. He's extremely unprofessional. It's very unfortunate because the hall and food were amazing. All our family and friends raved about how good the food was, but I will never refer anyone to this place because of my horrible experience with Joseph.

This is an all stop venue with beautiful reception rooms, a very helpful caterer coordinator. However, at the evening of the event the coordinator seemed to disappear and thankfully we have our personal coordinator there to help oversee everything. Sterling Engagements came to the rescue.
