Venue Quality
Pros:
"The venue is absolutely beautiful, very spacious, very clean!"
"An upscale, clean and modern venue with a full bar set up, colored lighting, and digital access hook-up in the heart of downtown Newark."

"The venue itself was a stunning and beautiful space."
Cons:
"Only one co-ed bathroom for a wedding? That's the only part that sucked!"
"It's not wheel chair accessible so wouldn't recommend if you have a number of seniors. They will have to climb 2 flights."
"The furnishings in area for the wedding were dirty white plastic folding chairs with metal white frames that had multiple areas of chipped paint."
"Moreover, the elevator wasn't working and so my team had to use the stairs when it was time to clean up and that was a lot of heavy lifting and so that was frustrating and unfortunate."
"The dining area is somewhat small given the size of the space."

"Also place had roaches all over."
Price and Value
Pros:
"And the price is more than reasonable for what you get."
"The rate is really low for this amazing place."
"Great space for a good price."
Cons:
"When I first called in order to book and view the venue I was given one price over the phone. When I got to the place and met with Toni she then gave me a whole other price which was $400 more than what she had originally priced me at."
"The only hiccup was that I paid for an AV package and the TVs were not rendering our photos properly."
"My contract had stated I would have 90 chairs the day of my event and we did not."
"The only issue I had was that some chairs are broken which of course made it unsafe for guests."
