Just had a wedding for my daughter. The space is definitely better. The only suggestion I would have is the brides room needs a table or two for bridesmaids and bride to put make up on. The small shelf by the mirror is very inadequate. We used tables and had lots of stuff to spread out to get ready. This room would not have worked for us.

IDEA: 01: Sunday evening "Singles Mingle" dance event center. This is what saved me after my divorce AND where I met my husband in 1996 IDEA 02: Tuesday evening Country Line dancing event center 7 to 10 p.m.. IDEA 03: Yoga center two a week in the weekday mornings. These were the really important fun and exercise events in my life. This brings in people during the week and leaves the event center for weekend weddings!!! Good Luck on this!!

The only things I liked better were the white walls instead of the yellow and the women's bathroom. The rest was either equal to what was there before or worse. Hopefully people who actually live in the area feel differently and book more events there.

I like black ceiling and new lights, looks so much better. Love green couches!

[naturian]

That step down where all the tables and chairs are feels dangerous. A few drinks and ppl will forget to step up for down. 😬

[li-anderker]

Hate the black ceiling and it's shaped like a coffin. Really depressing bad even for a funeral.

[ChristineMason-ds]

You missed the important part of the bar which is fridges, ice machine, etc. Where do caterers set up? Totally missed the mark on that one.

[PhilipSteeves]

Original lighting was better! The paint job and the black ceiling work! The Bridal room is tacky and the pattered floors are a big miss!

[jenniemoi]

I’m sorry, is it just me?
I’ve always enjoyed Les and Lynn’ work ……However, this ballroom (commercial space) falls short!
That wallpaper in the bridal suite is hideous and dark.…certainly not I would want as a backdrop for any of my bridal photos, casual or otherwise!

[rjmontz]

While I’m unsure about this one, I feel the original had a distinctive charm that stands out. Perhaps you could focus on enhancing it while preserving its unique appeal, rather than making it overly conventional.

Business setting like this needs proper designer as they know what are the needs and regulations and not a private home settings. As a service industry consultant this is a terrible jobs and will cause a lot of losses and simply doesn't work. Too many to point out.

i just can't with these two, they work hard but good lord their mix of furniture styles and the strange juxtaposition of fabrics, floors, fixtures just don't flow. the home still looks dated and the ballroom is lackluster

[msch]

I don’t mind the black ceiling but I would have done the ballroom in a more cottage style. I would have put big crystal chandeliers and hanging lights across the ceiling. It look empty as it is now. I liked the drapes, they looked classy and who cares about a ballroom having natural light? I m not crazy about the patterns of the tiles, it will look dated quick. I like the floral wallpaper and velvet seats. I m happy you didn’t paint all the beautiful wood.

Glad Bonnie got a buyer, but i will pass on the ballroom. Good luck.

What parent would take their baby to a basement nursery to

[msch]

The ball room looks empty. It needed much bigger chandeliers.

[christinestephenson]

I dont really care for the ballroom. Nothing really stands out. I would have real chandeliers, not lught bulbs on metal frames.

[elizabethcalef]

Black ceiling, cow rug... just no.
These two are about "look at how cool we think we are."

[jay_jjacobsen]

flower pictures, but no flowers. At least put some vases so brides can fill them.

[nylanelson]

The shelf in the brides room is Not big enough to hold all the make up used to get ready & should have been made deeper. They could have kept the older vanity set & just painted it gold to update it. Plus the cow rug is Disgusting & tacky. Many people today are about animal rights & will be put off with this on the floor. Toss the rug in the garbage
