Could not have been more pleased with the banquet room accomodations and with my dealings with Beth Ackerman

Beth at the Colonnade was wonderful and really helped us realize our wedding vision! She met with us when we were available, which was great since we were planning the wedding long distance and my husband and I have conflicting work schedules. She offered us her professional opinion on room arrangements and the menu, but always went with our final decision, even when it wasn't what she would have chosen. The prices at the Colonnade were on par and sometimes lower than the other reception venues we scouted, so we felt we got a fair deal there. Beth was also timely when responding to my e-mails or phone calls; I didn't have to wait three days or call multiple times to get an answer to my questions. Often I had an answer that evening or the next morning. The only thing that was not quite as good as I had expected was the food. I would probably give it 3.75 stars our of 5, but that ended up being just my and my husbands opinions; all of our guests raved and said the food was fantastic, so overall the food is probably a 4.5. All of the wait staff were dressed professionally and were always on hand to help with whatever we needed, and Beth herself was there for our entire event. Overall, our experience with Beth and the Colonnade were fantastic! I would definitely recommend the Colonnade to other brides.

A little pricey, but so worth it if you have trouble decorating and don't want to look for food venues! Highly recommend, decorations were great and everyone loved the food. The coffee station is also a plus.

The staff and service was absolutely perfect at our reception. Whatever anyone needed was immediately taken care of. The reception hall was breathtaking. All the decorations were so beautiful and all the guests commented on how amazing everything looked. I could not have dreamed of a better place to have a wedding reception and would highly recommend the Colonnade room to any bride. Everything from the food, decorations, service, and staff was perfect! I could not have been happier with how everything turned out!!

My parents along with myself and husband worked with Beth on the details of the Ceremony and Reception. Beth was beyond amazing with such great ideas. Everyone there commented on how beautiful the place was. I would recommend this facility to EVERYONE!!!! The food was great and the service was even better. If you want to feel like a queen on your wedding day this is the place to be.

Beth and her team did an amazing job! She was very hands on during the planning, and was constantly coming up with new ideas to make my wedding unique. When I walked into the reception/ceremony site the day of rehearsal, I was blown away. She captured my dream wedding, and I am still receiving compliments from people on everything from the food to the decor and everything in between!

The Colonnade food was excellent along with the decor. We wish there were more beer choices and an option for keeping leftovers.

Beth Ackerman and her staff made it one of the most memorable nights of our life! Thank you to all of them for their efforts in truly giving our reception the "statement look" we were hoping for. We could not have asked for anything to be any more beautiful!

The Colonnade was absolutely perfect for our wedding. Beth was wonderful and very helpful through the entire process. We were planning our wedding while living out of town—a task that could have been very difficult, but that Beth made easy. She was very accommodating of our schedules and worked hard to make our life as “stress-free” as possible. She did a great job with our large guest list and truly made our reception unique and one-of-a-kind. We highly recommend the “Ultimate Décor” package. She and her son (who helps with decorating) are very talented artists…we had so many guests compliment the décor. Several said they had never been to a wedding that was so elegant and well done. The hall looked absolutely breath-taking. The food was DELICIOUS. After attending several weddings and having the “same old, same old” wedding food, The Colonnade was a refreshing change. It is by far the best wedding food we have ever had, and several of our guests said the same. We highly recommend The Colonnade for any wedding reception or special occasion. You will not be let down!

The Colonnade Banquet Facility did an outstanding job. The staff went above and beyond to make our day as special as could be. They were truly professional and we thank them for all they did to make our daughter's wedding perfect. Our guest raved about the food, the service and how beautiful the reception facility was decorated. Absolutely beautiful and breathtaking! It made us happy to hear from our daughter that this was a magical dream wedding that far exceeded her expectations. A dream come true! The Colonnade was absolutely wonderful and easy to work with. I will strongly recommend the Colonnade at every opportunity.

The Colonnade was an incredible place. I had my reception there and they also catered the food. It was beautiful and the food was delicious. The best part was that they were not overly expensive. Beth was amazing and helped me decorate and was just so helpful through the whole process. Check it out, I promise you won't be disappointed!

The reception hall at the Colonnade (North Coast Hall) was perfect. The catering was amazing, everyone raved about the prime rib and chicken. The rentals they had to offer were exactly what I was looking for. Beth was a huge help, she was always there if I had a question, and she helped to decorate the room before the reception. This is a great place for a ceremony and/or reception!
