R.L & J.L This venue was everything. Netty is the most amazing person ever. I wish I could go back to that day. The food the bridal suite the venue itself. Just Magical
It has been a little over a week since our Wedding Day and we are so overwhelmed with joy! When we got engaged and started to look at venues, it didn’t take long to choose one afte...
r seeing Regal Ballroom. I knew a few people who got married there and wanted to go and see it for myself. Immediately when I walked in and was greeted by Chris, his hospitality shined through. He walked me through the newly renovated lobby into the Grand Ballroom. Complete with high ceilings, stunning chandeliers and unique characteristics, I knew this was going to be our wedding venue! Throughout the booking process; Chris & Netty were extremely responsive to any questions that I had. It was also great because with our busy schedules, they take care of all the small details that you don’t even think of! Now to the food, which was amazing. It’s hard to catch your breath that day, but they put food in the wedding suite so that you don’t have to go up to the stations. The staff was so friendly and attentive and all of our guests kept mentioning that throughout the night. Netty never let me go without a drink and she and Chris kept checking on my husband and I all throughout the night. The atmosphere was insanely gorgeous, and the cheesesteaks to go were appreciated by all on the way out. The Regal Ballroom is a hidden gem. When it comes time to choose a venue for your big day, you have to go with Regal Ballroom, I cannot say enough wonderful things about this venue!!
I was your very first customer I got married on May 2, 2009. I enjoyed your services and I love how you have remodel the place, I am looking to have my daughter sweet 16 here.

dded a few extra touches herself. I was not the easiest person to get along with during the planning however the staff at Regal still catered to all my needs.
I could use one word to describe the Regal it would be AMAZING! Everything was just amazing. The venue is beautiful. Our up lighting was the perfect color purple, our monogram made...
it more personalized, the centerpieces were not over bearing but very simple yet elegant, the food was outstanding. Cocktail hour had just the right amount of hors' devours, The bridal suite is beautiful, it has a touch of rustic but ballroom style as well, the exposed brick is gorgeous. I can't say enough ! Do not let the outside fool you! We had an amazing time and we wish we could relive it again!
The Regal Ballroom is amazing!!! Chris and Neddie are the best, easy to work with and made the whole day stress free. And the food was very good. I strongly recommend this venue.
Finding Regal and making the decision to book them as the venue for our wedding reception was one of the best decisions that my husband and I made during our wedding planning proce...
ss. They the professional and make every effort to cater to their clients. It’s been three weeks since our wedding and our guests have not stopped complimenting us on the venue. The food and just how AMAZING the staff was. Thank you for EVERYTHING! If you are looking for an event venue, look no further!
Everything was going well until our wedding day. During the wedding planning meetings we had with the regal ballroom staff my husband and i were told we did not have anything to wo...
rry about the day of our wedding. All we have to do was show up , have fun and enjoy the celebration... the staff were going to take good care of us and all of our needs. The first mistake we made was being extremely trusting. The day of our wedding, that’s when everything went wrong. From our guest being seated late , ( we were told the contract we signed said 6:30pm for cocktail hour, when we had our final meeting with the staff we told them our cocktail hour was going to start 5:30pm instead of 6:30pm, which she told us that was no problem). The servers touching our guest food when they served our guest. The back tables not being served any food , so our guest had to chase the servers to get food. Few of our guest weren’t told they had vegan options, when in fact i had emailed and told the staff how many vegan guest we had at each table. The day after our wedding we learned few of our vegan friends did not get the chance to eat. We also were told we had access to the two bars but the day of the wedding only one bar was open, when we asked why that was the case the wedding coordinator told us we did not have enough guest for two bars. We had 189 guest... and during the wedding planning meetings we were NEVER told such a thing. So much other things happened that evening. We felt cheated , disappointed, angry and taken advantage of. The day of our wedding was supposed to be stress free and we were supposed to be enjoying the beautiful celebration... however that wasn’t the case. At the end of the evening when we were leaving the wedding coordinator saw us and walk away the opposite direction from us instead of saying good night or just a simple congratulations or thank you for using regal ballroom for your wedding.... after all we did spend a lot of money. It was extremely hurtful, disappointing and unprofessional.
On a positive note...our guest told us the food was great! That made us a little bit happy. I don’t want you to think that Regal is bad placed or has poor service. My husband and i were just disappointed in the service that was provided versus what was promised. The best advice that i could give to the next person is simple, own a copy of the contract including whatever is promised, planned, or requested and bring it with you to each meetings you will have with the staff and reconfirm what’s on the contract. Their words are kind and caring but their actions have a different tune.
Great place...had my wedding there....a little shaky in the beginning but day of was amazing....loved the food (although a few guest would disagree) overall a great place to have a...
wedding just make sure YOU are on top of things

My husband and I had our wedding and reception at Regal Ballroom on June 10, 2017. This venue far exceeded any of our expectations. We began our wedding venue journey with firing...
our prior venue because of their treatment of us. We began to feel jaded about the entire venue search. While speaking with a family member, they mentioned that they’ve attended several ceremonies at Regal Ballroom and that it was absolutely beautiful. I immediately called the venue and was greeted by Netty, the venue coordinator. She was absolutely amazing. She was able to work with our budget, and genuinely cared about us and our wedding (which is very hard to find). The entire process was a breeze. Netty reached out to me often, was always willing to work with any ideas that I had, and was just overall a wonderful person. She was even sick right before the wedding, but still managed to “rest up” just so that she could make it for the ceremony and reception. Overall, the wedding went without a hitch. My guest had a wonderful time, and the entire Regal Ballroom staff was fantastic. I would have every party at this venue. They are absolutely amazing and I’m just so blessed that my husband and I were able to enter our union with such a wonderful experience. So thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the wonderful hospitality Netty, Chris, Nicole, and the entire Regal Ballroom staff.
Beautiful venue! Great staff! Amazing food. No complaints whatsoever. Would highly recommended for everyone!
A special thanks to Chris, Netty and the whole entire staff. On September 4, 2016 my husband and I got married at the Regal Ballroom. We couldn't had picked a better venue to celeb...
rate our union. From the first time we seen the venue we fell in love with the place. Chris was amazing throughout our whole process. He was always available when we needed him as well as answered all our questions promptly and reassured us that him and his staff will make our special day a unforgettable one. Chris and his whole staff exceeded our expectations.We don't even know where to start from the food to the decor,that was breathtaking and beautiful to the way they treated our family and friends and how attentiveness they were with me and my husband. Our family and friends are still talking about our wedding and how beautiful everything was. From the ceremony to the reception everything was phenomenal. Wow so many great things we have to say about our special day and the people we picked to make it extra special! My husband and I truly appreciate Chris going above and beyond to make our day a memorable one. Netty was amazing she made our day flawless, she took very good care of us the whole night. Chris and Netty weren't just vendors to us they also became our friends through out our whole process which made it much easier on our wedding day! Thank you so much Chris and Netty!! A few words from my husband to Chris thank you for toasting with me and making that Jawn the best day eveeerrrrr! Melissa & Moises
Hi, I had my Vowel Renewal at the Regal Ballroom last week, June 11, 2016. It was spectacular! Nette and the rest of the staff had no problem keeping up with my family. She was...
so impressive; patient, kind, understanding, professional. The hall was beautiful and the food was absolutely delicious. My family was so impressed with Nette and hall. I was so happy, I'm still smiling about the night, grinning every time I think of it. - My husband Franklyn is usually not easily impressed (he worked in the catering business for many years), but on the night of the 11th, he had no complaints; he loved Nette and he thought the food was delicious. Thank you Regal Ballroom!
My wedding reception took place on June 04, 2016. The reception was phenomonal!!! Nette was so helpful, friendly, awesome, etc. I can go on and on. She was so accomodating making ...
sure that I was taken care of. Tracy was so helpful as well. Everyone that came to the wedding could not stop talking about the Regal ballroom. People have said that it was so beautiful and did not realize how big the place was. Also, people loved the food. Everything was so delicious from appetizers to the dessert. I was so busy that the hubby and I did not get to eat. However, Nette made sure to pack us to go plates and we sure ate later that night. I can attest that the food was awesome! On another note, my now husband could not get over the big chairs. He swore that he was a King. He did not want to get out of the seat, lol. All in all, I just wanted to say huge thank you to you and your entire team for making the wedding reception perfect!
If I have any future parties, I will definitely utilize the Regal Ballroom again. I believe that other individuals that attended my wedding will also utilize the Regal Ballroom in the future.
I know many people have written reviews about the Regal Ballroom, but I would like to add mine. My friend Chris truly went above and beyond our expectations. My daughter Alison's ...
wedding was held there this past Saturday and from the day we booked until May 14th, Chris was always there and available to answer any questions we had and offer expert opinions. When we arrived to the hall, we were met with umbrellas because it had started to rain. Arriving in the Bridal Suite, we were just amazed to see all the beautiful hor'dourves and chilled champagne all ready for us!! The hall looked perfect and the staff couldn't do enough for us. Not one, but every single one of our guests told us how delicious the food was. And not a single one went home hungry. So, a sincere Thank You to Chris and his staff for making our day everything we dreamed it would be. We will let anyone we know to go see you before gong anywhere else.
HEY, YOU! Yes, you. Let me guess. You're searching for the perfect location for your wedding reception. How do I know this? Because that was me just 6 short months ago. Now I am he...
re to say CONGRATULATIONS! Not for your engagement (although that's great too), but because you've just stumbled across the BEST place possible to have it. My husband and I just held our wedding reception at the Regal Ballroom this past Saturday and I couldn't get to my computer fast enough to write a review. From start to finish our wedding day was PERFECT and we have Chris and his amazing staff to thank for that. Still not convinced? Here is why you absolutely need to hold your wedding and/or reception here:
1. Chris is a Wedding genius. He knows what is trending, classy and elegant. I barely lifted a finger and it looked like I've been prepping for this day my entire life because of his and his staff's hard work.
2. The venue is SPECTACULAR. I have some goofy looking family members and even they looked good with this backdrop! (Just kidding...ya know...kind of.)
3. THE FOOD IS TO DIE FOR. I have relatives that own their own catering business and even they were raving! You'll wake up wishing you had left overs or an extra stomach because you didn't have the chance to try every type of food there.
4. The staff are the nicest people you'll ever want to meet. They are professional, courteous and on top of every detail. My husband and I mentioned the drink we would like to have once and I couldn't even completely finish one before someone was putting another one in front of me. Talk about spoiled!
5. JUST LOOK AT WHAT IS INCLUDED IN HIS WEDDING PACKAGES and then try to find me another venue that can match everything he offers. Gorgeous centerpieces? Done. A cake you'll want to eat every day for the rest of your life from Bredenbecks? Done. Open bar with every liquor your crazy uncle will love? Done. Valet parking to make your guests feel like royalty? Done. SURPRISE CHEESESTEAKS FOR YOUR GUESTS? Done. Do I even have to go on?
If you are still not sure, please feel free to contact myself or the over 100 guests at my wedding. We would be happy to continue to convince you. Meanwhile, I'll be off trying to figure out how to sneak a sixth star on to this overall rating.
In all seriousness, thank you so much to Chris and his phenomenal staff. You blew my childhood wedding fantasies out of the water and I can't tell you how much that means to myself, my husband and our family and friends. The best day of my life took place in your ballroom and I will truly cherish that forever. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!
My husband and I got married and had our reception here on 3/19/16. It was absolutely beautiful! I had a few hiccups (transportation related) prior to the ceremony but Chris and hi...
s staff kept me calm and assured me everything would be fine (which it was!). The venue is beautiful, the food was so delicious (guests are still talking about it!), the staff was super attentive to us throughout the entire night. We added the cheesesteak bar at the end of the night which was a HUGE HIT. Not to mention, you can't go wrong with a wedding cake from Brendenbecks- the best! Chris & staff, thanks for such a memorable and beautiful night! We can't thank you enough =)
If you want a beautiful, classy, elegant, wedding with excellent food and extreme customer service, this is the venue for you. Me and my wife got married 9/18/15. We wanted our w...
edding to be a night to remember, and that is a HUGE understatement. This venue is STUNNING!!!! It left nothing for the imagination. People are still talking about our wedding a month later and how this was the best wedding they have ever been to. I have heard reviews on how this was a Tyler Perry wedding in person. And the staff....Chris, Marianne, Nettie, EVERYONE was sooooooo wonderful. Nettie made my day flawless. She made sure we had drinks full, food served, and nothing wrong. You get so many perks with having this venue for your day. We're even going to use this venue for future parties. We hated for our day to end. You get to pick linens, uplighting, floor plan, everything. And OMG, the food is AMAZING!!!! There was so much food and desserts.... Our guests were so full from the cocktail hour, that they barely had room for all the delicious food from the reception. And the desserts were soooooooo good. The cake was excellent too. Chris was very honest with his suggestions. With this being my first wedding, I wanted everything to be perfect. But I also didn't want to feel like we were being taken advantage of. Chris was very honest with his suggestions on what he felt would make our day great. From the food tasting to the actual day. He was superb. He made me feel like family. He took care of us as if we were his own family. Even the food tasting, he gave us extra to make sure we picked the right entree'. He and Marianne answered every question, every email, and if not available, they were swift to get back to us. Nettie, that is my GIRL. She knows how to treat you right. She made me feel so very good, and like I said, she kept the drinks flowing. I wanted for nothing, not even for my comfy shoes. She made a way for me. I wanted to come down the aisle, and she made it go without a hitch. I want to get married all over again. I've seen a lot of brides so tired, that by the time the wedding day comes, they just want it to be over. Well, if you pick this venue for your day, you will want to do it over and over again. I can't wait to have another event there, just to have the excellent service, the beautiful venue, and the food. We couldn't ask for anything more. They left nothing unturned. Our expectations were far exceeded. I miss calling and planning. Even provide valet parking. You can't get better than Regal Ballroom!!!
I just wanted to say thank you to Chris and the staff at the Regal Ballroom for making our wedding a night to remember. The staff was super attentive with us and our guests the who...
le night. Chris was an absolute pleasure to work with. Throughout the whole process he would answer all my million and one emails the very same day. He definitly helped making the wedding process run smoothly for us. Our guests are still talking about the wedding a month later. They had a great time. They keep talking about how excellent the food was and how everything was so beautifully executed that night. The venue in itself is breathtaking you will fall in love the minute you walk through the doors. I cant express how happy I am with how everything turned out. THANK YOU! -Michelle & Kelinton Tejada
I would like to start by thanking the entire Regal Ballroom: Chris and his hardworking staff, for giving us a great wedding reception. The day was perfect to begin with and the hal...
l did a fantastic job to end our night!
When we first met with Chris he was very warm and genuine, which I appreciated. After visiting a few other venues, it was a relief to speak to someone who was there not to haggle, but to make sure that we were going to be accommodated and have a package to best fit our needs.
We had a total of 313 guests. The venue fit everyone comfortably with a large dance floor. Although we barely ate at the reception due to excitement, our guests raved about the food - from the hors d'oeuvres, to the buffet meals, to the dessert. (We knew how well the food would be after our taste testing, my only regret is I didn't eat more at the time!)
The entire night went as smooth as I had hoped. A large majority of that was courtesy of the time and planning that Chris put into the evening prior to the event. Chris made sure all of the details we wanted for our wedding were in place. He answered many questions I had over the course of planning and was always accessible to reach. He looked out for us, and had our best interests at heart. He took our concerns, opinions, and suggestions with ease finding solutions and answers for all them. He made himself available to me, even at late hours of the evening, the night before my wedding.
I am so glad we choose the Regal. We felt at home and so did our guests. Chris, thank you for being the kind person you are, and for giving us a beautiful wedding event.
Love,
Marybeth & Colin

weet! Netta was brilliant she dealt with all my craziness and even the bridal party's craziness and was very attentive! My Bridal Party bragged about how great she was. Even though I didn't bother Chris as much but when I did he always came back with a quick response. He's really nice and easy going. We chose the Regal Ballroom for convenience, for intimacy, and for the Regal feel, but we also received exceptional service. The Regal Ballroom definitely lived up to our expectations. Our guests are still talking about how gorgeous everything was.its defintely a Regal Gem!

We along with everyone that attended o...
ur wedding, absolutely LOVE the Regal Ballroom!!! I was really ready to give up on finding a wedding venue when I found this one. It was the last stop on our list and I wasn't even in the mood to look at another place. From the moment we walked through the door we knew it was the one!! It was SO beautiful and very clean!! A huge weight felt lifted, but I still didn't want to get my hopes up. Then we were greeted by Chris, the owner. Talk about great guy! He was so friendly and very accommodating. He answered all of my questions and concerns without any annoyance or hesitation. (Trust me I ask a lot of questions!! )You can tell how much Chris cares about his venue, his staff, you, your guests and every aspect of YOUR special day!
The food. OMG the food!! The food was and still is raved about by everyone. I only wish that I ate more. That was ALL me though, not the venue. We were well taken care of with plenty of food and drinks in the bridal suite, actually handed food (and drinks) at cocktail hour and had full plates of everything at our table.
I can't even begin to thank the Regal Ballroom staff enough for everything that they did for us from the day we found them to the moment we left our wedding. If I had a question I could call or email them and I was answered in a timely manner and very politely.
I hope this review reaches as many people as possible so that they can have a as perfect of a wedding as we did.
Thank you Chris and your wonderful staff at the Regal Ballroom! You were all amazing!
What else can I really say about the Regal Ballroom, Chris, & his staff except for WOW! From the minute we sat down with Chris to go over their packages we instantly knew this was ...
the place for us. Chris was extremely helpful and down-to-earth when it came to making our wedding reception dreams a reality. There was no hidden costs which I loved the price included all taxes, and gratuity so we knew exactly how much we were going to be spending without having any extra fees pop up last minute. Everything was exceptional from the lighting, decor, valet, waitstaff, and bartenders! The food was absolutely out of this world, I made it a point to try mostly everything since I've heard so many brides say they didn't even eat at their wedding. Not one of my guests had a negative comment to say, and everyone raved about the food (had around 260 guests I believe give or take) The attention to detail was magnificent, and having Chris there to oversee everything was just an extra reassurance that everything would be spot on. I truly felt as though the staff at the Regal Ballroom cared to make my day as perfect as I had dreamed of it being. I cannot stress what a wonderful experience it was working alongside Chris and his staff to make one of the most important days of my life memorable and for all the right reasons. I was totally and completely blown away by how beautiful the room was, and wish I could relive the day over and over, and guess what? I wouldn't change one detail about the Regal Ballroom. Imagine how excited my husband and I were when we got to attend a wedding as guests at the Regal about a month after ours, we got to really soak in the elegance and food even more so being guests. If you're currently planning your wedding or trying to decide on a venue The Regal Ballroom is a must visit, and you'll most likely be sold after that! I could go on forever, see for yourself!
THEE BEST DAY EVER!!!
I got married 8-23-15. It was THEE best day ever!!
We did not have a big budget to spend on our because we were planning on having a destination weddin...
g at first, but with some family persuasion we decided to have our wedding home. After searching for venues for weeks I was fed up and frustrated until I came across a beautiful wedding I saw on instagram. I tracked down the location and it was the Regal Ballroom. I read all of the reviews on weddingwire.com and I knew I had to try them out.
We met Chris (which is my husbands name too) and he was so nice and professional. We picked out the Princess package and signed our contract. I didn't want to look any further. Everything we wanted was included in our package and it fit our budget. When ever I had a question my emails and calls were answered right away.
Our wedding ran smoothly and all our guests loved everything especially cocktail hour. We had open bar and trust me the drinks were not watered down like most places. Dinner was delicious too, even though we couldn't finish because everyone wanted to take pictures with us!! The staff were super nice and professional, especially Nettie she was so sweet and attentive. I loved every minute of our wedding day and I wish I could get married again.
I know we made a great choice choosing Regal Ballroom and I would definitely recommend this venue to anyone.
From the moment that my then fiancé found The Regal Ballroom in her research, until the reception was over and everyone went home, we just loved this venue. The ceremony, cocktail...
hour, and the reception, in every aspect, down to the microscopic details, they delivered. The owner, Chris, will remember us: the bride with a million concerning questions, and the groom who will settle for nothing short of perfection; and he handled everything in calm, “we got that covered”, good-natured manner. He was absolutely great to work with, and his staff was simply fabulous. We couldn’t be happier with our choice to have had our wedding at The Regal Ballroom.
Exactly 100 days ago, we had our wedding, on May 22, 2015, with about 125 or so guests, and chose the Princess package. It was very, very elegant. It certainly met all of our expectations, even mine. We utilized one of the ballrooms for the ceremony/then reception, and the other ballroom for cocktail hour, and it was perfectly sized for us. We even had a photo-booth and a candy-bar, and with a fairly sizeable dancefloor, it still didn’t feel cramped at all. The bridal suite was exceptionally nice, and functional, and the entire facility is decorated beautifully. The chandeliers, the really high ceilings (they even have a tasteful touch of sparkling crystals), and just the right amount of nostalgic hints of the original building, all made our wedding that much more remarkably grand and memorable. The Regal Ballroom really has a classic, timeless, yet contemporary feel. We really loved the venue, and all of our guests did as well.
The food was great all-around, and the 4 main course selections that we made were fantastic (rosemary sirloin, chicken Marsala, flounder with crab, and penne ala vodka). The only hard part was actually making the selections, since everything was really that good. But let me talk about the cocktail hour and the hors d’oeuvres. This aspect is still being raved about. Every butlered appetizer, and there were many different ones, was delicious. My wife and I were very busy with pictures and greeting guests during this part of the evening, and regretfully didn’t get to try the mashed potato bar, nor the grilled cheese and tomato soup shooter, but we sure heard everyone’s review. I surely enjoyed every single one that I did get to try, and thankfully, the staff brought them to the bridal suite for us. If you’re considering this venue, I highly recommend going with the separate cocktail hour, and all of the scrumptious appetizers. Absolutely the best! I actually hope that my wife and I get invited to another wedding at The Regal Ballroom, and I’ll make sure I try every last one of them.
I cannot forget to mention the cake, and the partnership they have with Bredenbecks of Germantown (they'll be getting our review soon too). What a cute place to visit and sample cake options, and the cake they delivered is exactly what I mean by perfection. It brought tears to our eyes how perfectly they executed what we were looking for. It was so fresh and delicious that we can’t wait until our 1 year anniversary to get another taste.
Ok, if I had to dig deep just to sound fair, and find a con, it would be that I would have requested the lights be dimmed a bit during the ceremony. There you have it. All-in-all, The Regal Ballroom made our wedding a “dream come true” and gave us a flawless evening from beginning to end!

ay, Chris (the owner) and his staff were personable and professional. Not one detail was overlooked. They made us feel that our day was just a special to them as it was to us. Our guest still talk about the food. It was divine. Many have said it was the best food they have ever had in a wedding. We chose the Elite Wedding Package and truly lived up to it's name. If I could do it all over again, I choose Regal Ballroom again. - Mr. & Mrs. Graham, May 2015

My daughter got married on 03/20/15 . The first day of spring, and yes it snowed that day. We had the receptions there. I am going to tell the truth when we first looked at the ven...
ue it was very nice. My daughter wanted her receptions there. when I told a good friend of mine she told me the food was horrible. When we went for the tasting , the food was awesome. She was so wrong about the food. Chris was always there for us and worked with us. He made everything seemed so easy. Like I said the day of the wedding it snowed and we got through it. When the bride and groomed arrived, Chris met my daughter outside with a umbrella so she won't get wet. That was very sweet of him to do that. The bridal suite was amazing and the wedding party could leave there things there without any worries. When we went into the cocktail room omg that was amazing the food was great, from lobster tails, lamp chops, coconut shrimp, scallops wrapped in bacon, spring roll, and let not forget about the potato bar. I know I am forgetting some of the appetizers. the cheese spread was out standing. the reception room was beautiful. We were served our salad. The four station was amazing and people are still talking about the food and how there were not one long line. All I can say is my friend was so wrong about the food. And yes she was there and said how good the food was. Chris you made my daughters day very special and I thank you for that.
Everything about Regal was stellar! The staff was very attentive, Chris took care of every tiny detail, and everything went off without a hitch. They make sure the bride and groom ...

I had my wedding and reception at the Regal on 3/7/2015.There is only one word to describe my experience. EXCELLENT!!!!!From the time I booked the venue until the end of my event C...
hris was awesome. He was at the location the entire time. The food was to die for and plentiful. People are still calling me telling me how great everything was. The setup was gorgeous I wish I could post pictures. Last but certainly not least was Nettie. She is GREAT! Throughout the entire event she made me and my husband feel like a king and queen. The Regal and their staff went above and beyond. I can not say enough good things about the place. Thanks Chris and Nettie for everything and for making our special day magical.
Our wedding was held at the Regal Ballroom on 10/24/14 and I was not prepared for how wonderful it would be. The place looked amazing, the food was more than I could ask for (and a...
lot of it). But the real Charm of the Regal was Chris, Nettie, Nicole and Tim. These four people made our day something that we would remember for the rest of our lives. Chris the owner, pulled out all the stops and it was amazing. Tim the Bartender was charming and entertaining. Nicole was attentive and funny. But for me the Star was Nettie. She waited on me and my new husband hand and foot. She did everything from fixing my dress to changing my shoes. If we thought about wanting something she was right there with it. We adored her and wanted to take her home with us. My husband said wow, she is something else.
Chris and his team will make your dreams come true. And if you have anything, please request Tim, Nicole and Nettie.
I would highly recommend having bother your ceromony and reception at the Regal Ballroom. It was so worth every penny and they will give you memories that will last a life time.
Chris & the entire staff at The Regal Ballroom made our night amazing! Anything we needed, they were right on top of everything. Even before our big day, I can't tell you how many ...
times I emailed Chris (because he would probably kill me for encouraging other brides to beat my all time highest number of emails) but he made sure every detail was taken care of to exactly the way I wanted it, even if I did change my mind 500 times. I would absolutely recommend this venue to anyone planning a wedding, or any party for that matter. The food is excellent, we received so many compliments on how great the food was & how much of an assortment there was. We'll definitely be hosting all of our parties at The Regal Ballroom (Sorry Chris, you're stuck with me now lol)!!
My experience with The Regal Ballroom was exceptionally great. I can't complain about one single thing as it was the best day ever thanks to Chris and his team. They made sure th...
at everyone received exceptional service and were happy from our guests, to our parents, children and I can't even explain how great they were to us (the bride and groom). The venue is absolutely beautiful and well kept. The food was excellent and I would use them over and over again if I could.
Sincerely,
Happy Regal Customers
