The Brownstone Reviews

Reviewed On 7/10/2019 by Megan M

We used Butler’s Unique Catering for our June 2019 wedding and were not disappointed. The staff and service were excellent, and they accommodated everything we threw at them without question. We had a fairly typical wedding menu with one beef, ...

one chicken, and one vegetarian option. All were great, but we had numerous guests tell us that the vegetarian option was hands down the absolute best vegetarian wedding meal they’d ever had. In all honesty we never even tried it during our tasting, and just went with what Todd recommended for the vegetarian option, but they clearly know how to please a crowd.

My review is late, but I booked The Brownstone for my wedding reception last year, and it was awesome! Todd was patient with me through changing my mind on what I wanted numerous times, and the food was awesome! I love the venue itself, and my ...

guests loved it also, we all had a blast. Todd's staff was also amazing and helped me out with some last minute decorations that I needed help with and they all had the best personalities! I would definitely recommend this venue!

I booked the Brownstone and Butler's Unique Catering for an anniversary party on 10/30/2016. We were the first event post upstairs renovation. The venue is beautiful. My event was elegant and professional but not stuffy. The food was delicious....

MACARONI AND CHEESE BAR!!!! Whatever you do add on the Macaroni and cheese bar. It was a guest favorite! Todd and his staff, Ramsey, Jasmin and the others were always friendly with a "can do, we will take care of that" attitude. I thoroughly enjoyed working with them and would definitely book the venue and caterer again. It was like working with family or friends. Some of my guest even hugged the servers at the end of the evening!

I recently had my wedding here on 11/05/2016. I must say at first everything was good until the actual wedding ! When I first booked the venue I was told that the rugs would be clean and that was not the case. They didn't clean anything the cer...

emony chairs, plates were dirty and the worst part the food at my wedding was cold. Which I can't understand because I had such a small wedding. We sent over 14k and for things not to be done I'm very disappointed! Oh n not to mention the day of my wedding they were showing the venue to another couple. Very unprofessional! Overall the venue is lovely, but for the money we sent here is was not worth it!

Thank you for your review Jessica just to respond to your review. Your wedding was At 4:00 to 8:00. You asked us to wipe off the ceremony chairs and vacuum the carpet at 11:00 am. As we stated we don't do those due to weather and people coming ...

in and out setting up until 2:00. Which we did clean the carpet and the ceremony chairs were cleaned. And as far as the food being cold. We did the best we could to keep it warm after your ceremony starting 1 hour 15 minutes late. So the food would have been fresher had it been served on time. Not an hour later. Thank yiu

I recently booked my wedding here at this venue and to say I am highly disappointed is just the beginning. Everything started off great and everyone was helpful but as soon as I put my deposit down is when everything changed. The caterer for th...

is venue is the absolute worst. He is rude and disorganized. I waited over 2 months for him to get back to me with our contract. When I finally did receive the contract it was wrong and it took him another 3 weeks to correct it. When I had questions about my venue (i.e if it rains on my day is there a backup area at the venue where I can take pictures) the caterer proceeds to tell me that he doesn't know because it has never rained on the day of a wedding. I find that very hard to believe that it has never once rained on a day for a scheduled wedding. When I reached out the actual venue to speak with them about the bad experience they kept referring me back to the caterer. Why would you refer me back to the person I am having the most issues with. I am so displeased with this venue. It is such beautiful venue but the customer service here is AWFUL. I just want my wedding day to be special and with this place I am nothing but stressed. When someone is spending over 12K for their wedding you just want everything right and for the caterer to at least be professional and send over the right information. I would not recommend this place to anyone. You are better off going down to the courthouse because this place will make you feel that way.
