The Balcony is absolutely BEAUTIFUL! We were so lucky to have been able to book this venue for our wedding and reception, as we wanted everything in one location but not at a hotel. They took care of EVERYTHING for us... Our YUMMY dinner, the beautiful and moist cake, our linens, centerpieces and flowers, and everything else! They definitely were a one-stop shop that was worth it!!

At first glance the place seemed nice but after meeting the employees I was quite surprised. It seemed it was all about business and the bride/groom and guest was just in the way. My wife and I do professional photography. We have been doing it for many years and my wife has several degrees in photography, use to teach it, and has won several international competitions. Yet when we were trying to take photos, the event coordinator was extremely rude, told my wife she doesn't know what she was doing and was so rude to the bride and groom, I was actually embarrassed for them. This guy at one point actually snatched their celebration glasses from their hands without warning just to get to the next tick mark on his list. I never seen someone working a wedding so unprofessional and rude. I was just imagining the owner sitting behind his desk with the door closed counting his money and then shouting, "next!".It is so bad that if I have a potential client that says they will have their reception there I would have to decline them. I can handle people like this after being in the Army for 8 years but why would you want to?
