Stage 1 Weddings & Receptions

ys kept us calm when I thought I was losing it. My daughter reception was everything she and her fiance dreamed of, very professional in every area of the reception, Mrs. Andrea was so compassionate and caring at all times and her entire staff, very friendly. Thank you so so much for a stress free reception, we loved everything, the decor, the food and most of all Mrs. Andrea. I'm just sorry I have no more children to marry. I would highly highly recommend Stage 1 for your weddings or any other occasions. Thanks Mrs. Andrea Mrs. J. Emery

kful that I was able to have my wedding at Stage 1 and I wouldn’t advise anyone to go any place else!

for! Ms. Andrea made great suggestions for the order of events such as when to take photos, when to perform dances, and reminding us to take in the moment and have fun! Her experience with special occasions is evident and a huge reassurance on such a big and special day! Ms. Andrea made sure all of our many guests were attended to and happy. However, she was especially concerned with my husband and I, she made sure we were beyond satisfied the whole evening. She even allowed us to spend an afternoon practicing our first dance in the ballroom a few days prior to the wedding! We could not have fathomed a better venue to celebrate the most important day of our relationship thus far together! Thank you Stage One and Ms. Andrea!! We loved every moment and will cherish them forever!!

on and she brought it to life. I made the best choice ever choosing Stage 1 to host my big day!

ect. The decor, food, service, and staff were everything I could ever ask for. I highly recommend anyone to have their event at Stage One. You will not be disappointed.

endly, fast and efficient. Not to mention, Andrea gave us a BIG send off with a basket FULL of goodies. If you are looking to have the wedding you desire that comes with all the bells and whistles Stage 1 is the spot. All you do is show up!!

sure that our reception was exactly what we could ever want and image! I would highly recommend using Stage 1! She brought together every idea and thought I had and made it look like a million dollars! With ever visit I had with Mrs. Andrea she always made me feel like family and had fresh cookies and scones waiting for me when I came to see her! Stage 1 truly does it all and you would be crazy if you did not have your event there!

ue for any occasion.

Stage 1 handling everything!

ith Stage 1 handling everything!

they actually send all of the food home with you. No one does it better! We made a great choice in selecting this venue for our special day.

clean, set up beautifully. The food was delicious all across the board. As a Bride I didn’t have to worry about anything Ms. Andrea made sure the groom and I were taken care of from every angle. The basket she sent us away with was right on time after all the pictures and greeting my husband and I did. I’m considering having my daughters graduation party there in a few months.

ures. Brought us some of everything to eat. And it was delicious!! My glass was never empty and neither was my husband's. And at the end of the night, our car and my mother's car was packed with food, decorations and our gifts! I would recommend her to everyone!!

lt so special on my wedding. As they would bring drink and food to me! When I needed another drink they already had one coming out for me! I've gotten so any complement on how beautiful and how amazing the food was! If I ever had to choose this place again I so would! All the friends that are engaged that came said they definitely want to have their wedding at Stage 1! I can just keep going on about everything of my special marriage here! If you want a stress free wedding this is definitely the place to have it!!! Also a very great price with everything included in the price! I can't thank Mrs.Andrea enough for everything she did to make sure I had my dream wedding! If your looking for a beautiful place with great food, price, and someone to help guide you in all the direction to have your dream wedding come true this is defiantly the place! 1/7/17 Will be a night I will never forget!

od was delicious love it. I really recommend stage one for any party or wedding reception :)

what to expect. The things offered at Stage 1 can't be found anyplace else. From the beautiful reception hall, wonderful staff, delicious food and overall experience it is unlike any other place. Getting married at Stage 1 was the best decision I made!!!

nd reception were held was decorated perfect. The food for the reception was excellent, we could not have asked for anything better. Our guests were impressed by the quality and professionalism of the venue and staff. I would definitely recommend this venue. Stage 1 made our wedding day very personal, special and memorable. Thank you Andrea and the Stage 1 staff for making our day 'our day!' Brian and Erica Gordon

ould like my reception to be. To be more thankful, Andrea is such an organized, energetic, thoughtful, sweet and professional coordinator. She has been easing me to be free from stress, and what she has done did help me to release from stress. Basically, I only needed to let Andrea know what I want, and she has finished it beautifully. After the reception, my guests told me the food was very good! And even the wine Andrea gave my husband and me is delicious. So, in short, Andrea and Stage 1 are highly highly recommended for any event!

my wedding planning journey I was able to visit several places, but not a person I met made me feel as comfortable as Andrea did. My wedding day was truly a dream come true. I didn't have to worry about anything because I knew if there was a problem Andrea would take care of it. The building was beautiful, the food was spectacular, the service was by far the best I have experienced. We are a little over 2 months into our marriage and our guest are still raving about how beautiful our wedding was. The food was even delicious the following day at our gift opening party. There are no words that I can say to express how thankful I am to have come across Andrea, and for all she has done for me during this process. If anyone would like pure professionalism, great service and a carefree wedding day, please take the time out and visit Stage 1. I gained a friend when I met Andrea. If I could do it all over again, I wouldn't change a thing about our wedding.. Thank you sooooo Much Stage 1

it was the best wedding they had been to especially the food. I had a wonderful night knowing everything was being handled without worries. I would certainly reccommend Stage1 to anyone for weddings or large events.

our coordinator and she was always available leading up to our wedding to address any questions or concerns. She was there to help calm me down and reassure me when I was stressed. And she was just as excited as we were, if not more, about our big day. I love her!!! She made sure we were happy and enjoyed our day. Thank you so much!!!!

n, the bathroom is clean, the Entire place is clean. That means a lot to someone like me. This venue takes away the headache of trying to find different vendors as everything is inclusive: The DJ, food, venue, etc. The day of the wedding Andrea never left my side. She catered to my every need, and made me feel at ease. She reassured me everything was going to be ok, despite the horrible weather that took place that day. The food was great, the guests had a vast variety to choose from. She sent my husband and I away with a nice basket full of goodies and a nice bottle of wine. I can go on and on because I'm long winded, LOL. If you're looking for a one stop shop, Stage1 is definitely the place.

nerosity, kindness, support, and the sheer beauty and elegance of Stage 1. Andrea made us feel right at home and went above and beyond to make my daughter and fiancee's wedding reception and overall experience with her team the most rewarding and beautiful event. Family members and friends alike are, months later, still complimenting us on the elegance of Stage 1 and how savory and delicious the food was and in abundance. Everyone says they have never experience a wedding reception such as the one Andrea and her team presented in honor of my daughter Tatiyana Curry and her husband, Warren Brown. Andrea allowed my daughter to contact her with any questions, concerns, or just for support. Andrea clearly understood the challenges of putting on a wedding and reception of excellence, and the challenges that come with doing so. Whenever we dropped by her office, we always chatted over delicious food prepared by Andrea, and often times went home with a box of fresh baked goods. My family and I are eternally grateful to Andrea and her team for making this occasion stress free and wonderfully amazing!!! Several of our family members and friends are planning to host their daughters' wedding receptions at Stage 1 because of the beautiful experience they had at my daughter and son-in-law's wedding reception at Stage 1. We had an over abundance of food and drinks (plenty of trays of food to take home and feed our guests for a few days). The decorations were elegant and the facility was gorgeous and emaculate. The chandelier stands out. My family and I wholeheartedly strongly recommend Andrea and her team at Stage 1 to all brides and grooms, and their parents!!! Andrea and her team will make your experience stress free and beautiful! Andrea, we could never thank you and your team enough! Truly enjoyed and loved meeting your dad and chatting with him. We know where your wonderfulness comes from! Blessings abundantly, The Curry Family

nd enjoyable. I highly recommend this venue! Everyone kept talking about how beautiful the place was and how great the food was as well. :-)

y have to make your dream come true. Before the wedding I made 30 wine bottle center pieces and Mrs. Andrea let me drop them off at the venue days before so that was one thing checked off my list. If there are certain beer or alcohol that you and your guest prefer it is no big deal to change that one the menu. THE food was amazing along with our chocolate fountain which our guests truly enjoyed to. The package also includes so many things, Set up, clean up, table linens, chair covers, wait staff, cake cutting, even includes a DJ. I loved my night and it was so stress-free. Andrea was basically my own wedding planner keeping track of the time in order to get everything accomplished for the night. After the night was over as I went back to my hotel as husband and wife, we got "to go plates" where we finally got to sit and enjoy the rest of our food together, it couldn't have been more perfect

of a bride I am and it's because I didn't have to worry or stress about anything!

wrong on your wedding day. With Andrea and the Stage 1 staff.....this did not happen! Andrea was so organized and made sure that every wish and want that we had on our "list" happened smoothly and efficiently. I am a planner and like for things to be organized, so when we went in for our first meeting and found out that Andrea was the same way, it was a definite YES that we had to have our wedding at Stage 1. I highly recommend Stage 1 to any bride out there who wishes for her wedding day to be perfect and flawless!

delicious. I especially appreciated the take home basket with food and champagne for our first night as Mr. and Mrs. Thank you to all Stage 1 staff for giving me the wedding of my dreams!!!

ng and made it into a real live fairytale event!!the staff at stage 1 provided a stress free atmosphere which was absaloutly phenominal!!!ms.andrea went above and beyound by offering ideas and instituting some of her own which ultimatly thrilled and delighted myself..my wife as well as all guest who were avalible!..the dj played an assortment of music which kept the guest entertained throughout the ceremony..the stafff was curtious and exstremely helpfull in serving the guest and cleaning afterwaeds!!stage1 is the ultimate in weddings and nobody..as far as we are concerned even comes close ...i,ve exsperienced the most joyous event in my life without one single thing going wrong and i will forever be one of her most out spoken supporters..stage1..where weddings are done right ..the first time around..see you in 10 years..for our 10 year anniversary..would,nt dream of having it any where else!!!!!!!and as an after thought...we didn,t pay enough for the cervice that we recieved..it truly was a fairytale come true..thanks to mrs.andrea and her stage1 staff!!

with. Did not want us to incorporate our colors. Nor would they make any concessions to help with the decor we brought. Very rude to several of us. Even controlled the photographer. Rushed us through pictures. Never once checked on me. I would never recommend them or any of their other businesses. They treat you one way to get you in and completely change once they have you. They also booked two weddings that day. So we literally had 1 and a 1/2 hours to decorate and do rehearsal. They paid someone to tie on their white chair sashes. But would not tie the wedding color ones on because I did not rent them from them. So we had to take all the white ones off and tie on 200 of ours during that hour too. So therefore I did not get to spend any time with my son or daughter-n-law before the wedding. I did not even see them toast them or the cake cutting. So much for being accommodating. And pampering us moms. Highly disappointed!!!!

bsolutely amazing. Our guests were extremely satisfied. This venue is perfect because it is all inclusive. The DJ, Food, Wedding Coordinator, Decorations, Set up, Clean up, Security, and so much more. It was absolutely the best option and the most cost efficient.

dding fun for everyone. The assistant also made me feel very comfortable as I waited to come down the stairs to my intro song! :) The night flowed perfectly and I am still getting comments about how beautiful the wedding was! The bartenders and servers were so nice to everyone. I wish I could relive it over and over! Thank you so much Andrea and Stage-1 staff!

of paved parking for our guests. Everything was fun and stress-free.

honest thoughts from our experience with Stage 1 Weddings and Receptions in May 2014...I hope that you find the perfect place for you (and hopefully hearing about our experience might help you decide!). First of all, Andrea (wedding coordinator, lifesaver, wonderful human being...) is absolutely one of the biggest draws to the venue! She made our day become a priceless memory that I know we will treasure forever. She handled every detail, helped me make decisions, respected my opinions completely, and ensured that my husband and I had fun at the reception! She made everything flow perfectly, didn't allow me to stress over anything, and was a wealth of knowledge on making everything work out in the best possible way. I am definitely a Type-A control freak, yet felt completely at ease with her insight and professional experience, which allowed me to not worry in the least. I trusted it would be perfect, and my expectations were exceeded. You know someone truly cares when you receive an email the night before with pictures to give you an exciting glimpse of your personal decor! On top of all of those wonderful things, working with Andrea was like working with someone you had known your whole life and someone who always has your best interest at heart. That factor was really to me in that the person I worked with would share a huge part in our wedding day memories. Second of all, the food was phenomenal. Every few days someone tells me how much they loved our reception and how impressive and yummy the food was! There was also plenty for our guests to be completely satisfied. Despite being fixed delicious looking plates, we didn't eat at the reception (besides the traditional bite of cake!) but our take-home basket was filled with the delicious treats and was enough to feed us for the rest of the weekend for sure! I decided to create my own centerpieces (I had a certain idea I always wanted) and so once I completed them, I dropped them off. The Stage 1 staff ensured that they were assembled and perfect when we arrived for our reception. That was a huge blessing and was exactly as I imagined. Also, I thought the DJ did a great job. The music was fun, yet not crazy! She handled everything all on her own (no input from me) and I was not disappointed in the least! Lastly, I adored the venue for how gorgeous it is. The breathtaking chandelier in the ballroom, the covered chairs, the grand piano, granite counter buffet, entrance, patio, and the timeless wooden staircase were special details that I loved. Perhaps my favorite part though is the fact that the ballroom maintains that soft evening glow all the time. We had a 1pm reception and you never would have known! It adds even more class to the already classy venue, in my opinion! Clearly, I would recommend choosing Stage 1 to anyone who asks. I didn't exaggerate on how much we (and everyone who came) loved the reception! We honestly were blessed beyond belief to find Andrea and the venue. I couldn't imagine having had our reception anywhere else. Blessings and goodluck in choosing a venue!

at attitude and a lovely personality. My wedding was absolutely perfect at Stage 1!

made our wedding a dream come true. From the first day we started planning to the very last second of us leaving the facility it was absolutely amazing. The food was amazing and was always hot and in abundant. The venue was always cool, we danced all night and did not break a sweat!!!!! Any gathering in the future, this is definitely my chosen venue. Thank You Stage 1 for making our day a NIGHT TO REMEMBER!! Mr. and Mrs. Chad Ivy (March 15, 2014)

the music that I gave them and some how they turned that hazard to a miracle. The DJ brought all the songs I requested that they didn't have and even though I was late everything still went as planned. Everyone told me how professional and nice the venue was. They were professional through all circumstance and I appreciate their patience with me and my family. Thank you Stage 1

ll talking about how great everything was. Stage 1 took care of everything.They packed all my gifts and extra food in the car. Andrea is the best at what she does. She was so sweet and caring and truly took all the worry off of my shoulders. She even packed my husband and i a cute little get away basket for later on our honeymoon . So if you want a wedding to remember ,please call Stage 1.. where your dream can become a true reality.

r, but Christi gave it to us at no additional charge. Again she was amazing. I give Stage 1 five stars, and definitely recommend this venue to anyone planning a wedding, because Christi will make your special day to remember for a life time.

nt place with perfect lighting for the photographer to capture all those special moments that will last a lifetime. If I had to do my wedding all over again I would definitely stick with Stage One as my venue.

thing; beautiful venue, great tasting food, specialty drinks and alcohol. Everything was perfect!!! I definitely would recommend any and everyone here for sure!! Thanks Andrea for everything you have done!!!!!

ul and encouraging to me as I was very unorganized. She even helped me plan out the wedding ceremony, even though my wedding was not being held at Stage One. Andrea helped me plan out every detail for my reception and made sure we were not missing anything. She also made sure everything was the way I have always dreamt of. On the wedding day, everything went more perfect than I ever could have imagined. Everything was organized and BEAUTIFUL! I am still, three months later, getting compliments on how beautiful and amazing my reception was. Thank you to Andrea for everything. I could not have picked a better person to work with or a better place to have my reception. I recommend Stage One to anyone looking to have a great wedding or reception.

bring my "dream" wedding to fruition from beginning to end! She helped me to work through the details of décor for the venue, music, set up and layout of everything. When me and my husband arrived at Stage 1 for the reception - we were both amazed at how beautiful the venue looked with the décor, lighting, placement of ice sculpture, pictures, cakes, flowers, rose petals and the many candles! The food was absolutely delicious and a real treat especially for my family/friends that came from out of town. I thoroughly appreciated the timeliness of the various events that took place during the wedding reception and the overall professionalism and friendliness of the staff at Stage 1 with our guests. As a detailed and organized "bride" working with Ms. Andrea, was great and I would definitely recommend other brides looking to have their dream wedding come to fruition to consider Stage 1 as their wedding or reception venue! I promise you will not be disappointed! I'm glad that we chose to celebrate our special day there with our friends and family! -Ra'Quel Tate

ul and was very elegant with all the candles in the room. The food was great as well, and the DJ provided with the venue was so much fun! I would highly recommend Stage One for any wedding reception!

one to remember!! I highly recommend Stage 1 to any bride that's getting married, and they can get my business any day. The food was great, the facility was immaculate and every thing was perfect and went beyond any fantasy I ever had of my wedding day. If you are considering getting married and/or having your reception at Stage 1, do it!! I guarantee you you won't be disappointed!!

asked In detail exactly how I wanted my reception to look and they granted each and every wish. The room was set up by them and looked fabulous! We were given a going away basket at the end of the night which included cake, fruit, cheese, pasta, dips, sandwiches, etc. The bride and groom and our families were taken care of all night. We were brought food and drinks. No standing in line for us! If you are thinking of renting a "cheap" hall , decorating it yourself and hiring an outside caterer like I thought, please please think again! Stage One does all this for you at the same cost if not cheaper. No stress, no worries! Just good times with your family and friends! I highly recommend Stage One to anyone looking to have a nice event in a beautiful, spacious reception hall!

to deal with her!

i suggest to any and everyone have your own counter at the door, she has her counters but i have found out that there are a large amount of people who have outrageous overages at the end of their event. so to make sure you are getting what you paid for count your OWN people.
