I
am
giving
it
1
star
because
of
its
location.
Everything
else
about
my
interactions
with
the
Veteran’s
Hall
staff
was
a
nightmare.
When
I
first
reserved
the
hall
(pre-covid),
i
worked
with
a
wonderful
lady
named
Patty
who
said
we
should
get
the
date
on
the
books
and
could
work
out
specifics
later
(note
to
self:
In
retrospect,
I
should
have
been
better
at
getting
things
in
writing).
Fast
forward
to
Summer
2021.
The
first
hurdle
was
the
new
manager,
Pete.
First
he
said
we
couldn’t
use
glassware
because
they
had
just
refinished
the
floors.
I’m
not
throwing
an
event
with
red
solo
cups
so
we
finally
came
to
an
understanding
about
that.
Next
issue
was
that
the
caterer
could
not
use
the
kitchen.
Even
though
this
was
a
licensed,
bonded
and
insured
vendor,
kitchen
access
is
for
members
only.
Because
the
caterer
couldn’t
use
the
kitchen,
they
were
required
to
cook
in
the
parking
lot
and
use
the
utility
room
upstairs
for
all
meal
preparations
and
service.
The
next
issue:
THE
BAR.
Pete
indicated
that
guests
could
go
downstairs
to
access
the
bar.
We
indicated
that
we
wanted
guests
to
be
able
to
access
drinks
upstairs
where
the
reception
was
being
held.
He
said
the
only
place
we
could
have
a
full
bar
would
be
in
the
same
room
that
the
caterers
were
using.
I
expressed
my
concern
that
guests
shouldn’t
be
walking
in
areas
where
food
and
liquid
could
possibly
have
spilled
on
the
floor.
This
seemed
to
be
a
risky
suggestion.
Finally,
we
were
forced
to
have
beer
and
wine
only
which
Pete
allowed
upstairs
with
his
bartender.
I’ve
saved
the
worst
for
last.
The
Monday
before
the
event,
the
caterer
and
rental
company
vendor
came
to
do
a
final
walk-thru
at
the
Hall
to
make
sure
that
brought
all
necessary
supplies
with
them
the
day
of
the
event.
Pete
was
not
there
so
the
bartender
gave
them
access.
Apparently
the
visit
upset
Pete
and
he
called
my
husband
at
9:30
that
evening
yelling
at
my
husband
and
telling
us
that
he
should
just
cancel
our
event.
The
day
of
the
event,
Pete
threatened
us
again
saying
he
should
shut
us
down
because
we
opened
the
windows
during
setup.
Keep
in
mind
it
was
90
degrees
and
the
air
conditioner
was
not
on.
I
spent
$2,000
for
the
use
of
the
hall
and
received
nothing
but
continual
obstacles.
I
only
kept
the
event
at
the
Hall
because
my
son
proposed
at
the
Gazebo
across
the
street
so
there
was
special
meaning.
Thank
goodness
for
Quantum
Party
Productions
and
Carrie
Dove
Catering.
Not
only
did
they
put
up
with
all
the
grief
from
Pete,
they
made
the
event
AMAZING!
Do
not
use
this
facility.
It
is
definitely
not
worth
the
stress
and
aggravation.
