Shelby Banquet Center

her day to change or fix something and she helped every single time. The beer selection was important to my husband and they ordered special beer for us and apparently had an extra one for when we ran out(it probably wasn't for us, but it was nice that it was there for when we ran out). They made sure the night of that everything was going well. Such a beautiful venue as well. Everything was fantastic!!!

ck of hospitality the week or two before the wedding -- they were not as nice and flexible as when we first booked them. We were also unaware that we had to have EVERYTHING gone 30 minutes after the end time (midnight) -- we had zero assistance from the wait staff, we collected all of our chargers with lettuce and dressing and food all over them (they would not rinse them off); overall you get what you pay for.

tell you, Shelby Gardens staff hit it out of the park! From day one, we fell in love with the location, the fresh modern look, and the helpfulness of the staff. The newly remodeled banquet hall and uplighting made our guests in awe of the look of our reception. The only downfall I would say is that you do have to pay to taste test the food which I was kind of bummed about but, in the end, it was totally worth it. The food was so flavorful and delicious. The drinks were perfectly made (you know how sometimes you go to weddings and it's mostly the mixer with a splash of alcohol? Not here!). Rachel was very responsive to my emails and last minute changes which helped put my mind at ease. We put a lot of time, money and effort into making our day great and I was so thankful to have that effort and quality reciprocated from our banquet hall.

nd everything looked good. -Everyone raved about the food. It was very delicious. -I was able to set up a couple days before which was just amazing stress wise. -They provided everything I could possibly think of. Before buying something, I would make sure they don't already provide it. For example: they had an easel I could borrow and tables provided for everything. -They let me make the floor plan however I wanted and they were extremely accommodating in making sure it was how I wanted it. -The drinks were very good, not watered down at all. -I did my own centerpieces and they let me come in and set up a mock table so I could see how it looked before I bought a bunch of stuff that doesn't go together. -Everyone is very nice there. Just overall an extremely positive experience. Very few cons Cons: -A couple of the things that we spoke about in the meeting before the wedding were absent the day of such as plates by the cupcakes, but it honestly didn't impact the day of very much. -The chef choice appetizer was very odd. Retrospectively, I would have paid more money to choose. Not necessarily a con, but just something to keep in mind: they do not do food tastings as frequently as other halls, so you are going to want to make sure you make it to one.

questions we had. We had all our wedding guests tell us how wonderful the food and everything was!

enue for any type of gathering. They are truly there to make your day special! ( that's hard to find)

respectful to him. Instead of trying to find a solution she insisted he move his exquipment an hour before the wedding. Also the bartender was very rude to many of my guests including my husband. He also did not know how to make any drinks. Very disappointing to hear when we spent a lot of money booking them.

th engagement but they worked with us. Napkins are extra if you want them to be anything but white, and they don't provide sashes, you'd have to buy or rent from a third party vendor. They allowed us to bring in some special liquors for the MOG and Bride, but if they are open, you can't take them from venue. All in all, I was very happy here and I would use them again.
