If you want an extremely intimate and responsive experience planning your event, I honestly think nothing compares to The Boulevard. I worked 99% with Louisa on this event and I know it was primarily such a success because she went above and be...yond to help us out with each step of the way.
From start to finish, they were extremely patient, informative and work with you on pricing, the small details and making sure every possible part of the night can be figured out ahead of time. Hence, there's as minimal stress as possible with events of this size (we had a college formal for 150 people).
They are very generous with food, drinks and adding extra touches that we hadn't even expected or asked for in the contract. I was blown away with how everything was ready weeks ahead of time and Louisa asked for my permission before making a change of any size. She also texted me several days before the event was planned to showcase how beautiful the venue was prepped (attached photos of how great the tables and dance floor looked), and also provided diagrams and seating information so we had an idea of the space when it was filled up. I didn't have to ask for them to dim the lights when the dance floor got packed, didn't have to ask what times we're distributing food and drinks, and didn't have to run around to get my questions answered or any concerns addressed.
For the size of the venue, the service provided, and overall experience (they charge a slightly higher service charge because they know they are the best when it comes to servicing the client just fyi), the fee is a joke compared to how much help, insight and decorations you get for your buck.
It's newly renovated, and a different area then people expect for venues of this size, which is why I feel a lot of people haven't realized it is an option since it's so new and under different management. But I wouldn't let it faze you for a second because this is bar none the best event you can have for the price and help given. I was told by several people that this is the best dance they've attended and I am confident I'll be back for any future events I coordinate. Truly a hidden gem of Hudson Country and if you get Louisa, get ready for the easiest event planning you'll ever experience!
