I am highly organized and focused on helping you create one of the most memorable events of your life. One of the most rewarding feelings for me is when I see people smiling, laughing, and having a good time. My number one priority is you! From the initial consultation all the way through the end of your event, I am here for you every step of the way!

The Hall at St. Peter’s was not only the most affordable and classy option we found, but the coordinator, Heather went above and beyond to make sure our special day went 100% smooth. The venue comes with it all. Beautiful, spacious, includes the bartenders, servers, and more! I seriously couldn’t recommend booking here more!!

The Hall at St.Peter was the perfect place for my wedding reception. Heather was also very fast at responding to my emails. She also helped me figure out how much food to purchase and what goes when and where. The hall is beautiful! I loved the wood ceiling and the ambiance of the hall is just perfect and romantic. They also accommodated 2 special drinks and just made everything perfect. I didn't and don't have a single complaint about the whole process. I will definitely use the hall again for any event that I have now.

The Hall at St. Peter's was an incredible wedding reception venue. Heather, the hall manager, was insanely responsive and accommodating, especially because we were coming from out of town and didn't see the hall until two days before our wedding! We cannot say enough good things. The moment we walked in we were in awe - a lot of the décor we bought on our own was unnecessary. Heather even encouraged us to bring our puppy to the reception - which let us include her in our special day! The service during the actual reception was top-notch, everyone knew our names as the bride and groom and made sure we were well-fed and had the drinks we wanted throughout the night. For the price we paid, it really felt like we were at a venue ten times the price, both by the service and the atmosphere. We cannot say enough good words about Heather and the Hall at St. Peter's. If it fits your vision, book it asap! You will not regret it!

My husband and I had our wedding reception at The Hall at St. Peter's a few weeks ago, and I have nothing but good things to say about the experience!! First off, Heather was such an easy person to work with. She was a reliable communicator and quick to answer any questions we had during the planning. We were at max capacity for the venue (150+) so we worried about it feeling crowded, but Heather took the time to carefully lay out the room in a way that helped it all flow perfectly (I'm still hearing from guests about how much they loved it!). I also appreciated how well this venue fit within our budget. It was far more affordable than other venues and such a quality venue/experience for the price! A lot of that comes down to the care, experience, and thoughtfulness of Heather and her team.
I would highly recommend The Hall at St. Peter's to anyone looking for a beautiful, affordable, fun place to hold a wedding reception!

We got married here in July 2023. When I say the ENTIRE STAFF was amazing they helped with coordinating the bridal party entrance, the serving of the food, and most importantly keeping the Bride calm and less stressed. I would recommend anyone who is getting married in the area go here I am so grateful for them… Thanks again Heather and Lori for all you do.

This venue went above and beyond for our special day. Unfortunately we had a major power outage in the area just a few hours before our ceremony start time and they did everything they could to make sure our wedding went on. Luckily for us the power was restored 15 minutes before we started the ceremony and everything from then on was phenomenal!! I will always recommend The Hall to future brides and grooms. The staff was amazing, food was so yummy and the bar was perfectly stocked for our crowd. We had an amazing day. I would do it again over and over.

We had a wonderful experience using The Hall at Saint Peter's for our wedding reception. Communication from Heather and Josh (who catered and made a delicious meal) was great. Heather was organized and gave sound advice on how we should time everything. I loved that The Hall was pretty much a one-stop option, with the catering + bar, DJ, day-of coordinator and all linens available as part of the package. My only suggestion for improvement would be to ensure that the flowers in the planters outside are fresh and new. They were dead when we got there to decorate and I was told there weren't plans to pot fresh flowers, so my mom and I bought some and did it ourselves. Not a huge deal, but appearances do matter!

We just got married here and I can’t recommend it enough. Heather, the manager, is amazing and was so helpful the entire way through. They are partnered with multiple vendors that make it easy to streamline the wedding planning process. It is the perfect place if you want your ceremony and reception in the same place. They also set up and tear down for you.

I would definitely recommend The Hall at Saint Peter's. Heather and her team are great to work with. It's a package deal, so you can save yourself a lot of time and money. We hired an outside decorator who failed miserably and Heather and her team made it right the day of our wedding. The bar was awesome and our guests had great service. I would definitely host more events here in the future. Thanks again for making our wedding one to remember!

The Hall at Saint Peter's is a true gem! Working with Heather and the staff throughout the past year was so wonderful and helpful. When I say they truly have it all, they do! The friendliest staff, awesome bar packages, decorations, DJ, catering...it was so easy and affordable. We had our reception at the Hall and have heard so many awesome things from our guests. Heather made everything so easy and was always willing to accommodate our needs and answer the numerous questions we had. The Hall is so affordable compared to other local venues and it includes everything! Truly one of the best venues in our area. We could not recommend the Hall more!

The Hall at St. Peter’s was the perfect place for our wedding reception. Heather and her staff were very considerate and flexible with the changing regulations of the pandemic. They made us feel stress free and relaxed as we planned the reception with them. They were receptive to our ideas and gave suggestions which helped us to take informed decisions. The setting and decoration was customizable and beautiful. They also helped us stream our reception to our family members overseas who couldn’t make it in person. We would definitely recommend this location for your special day.

A wonderful venue and wonderful staff! Our wedding reception was beautiful and stress-free. Wedding planning can be very stressful, but the staff made it so easy and worked with us every step of the way and never felt pressured. There were so many options for us to choose from depending on our budget and our vision. The sanctuary was also beautiful and the wedding coordinator was a pleasure to work with and very knowledgeable. I am so grateful we found this beautiful venue and created the wedding our dreams!

The Hall at St. Peter's was simply a wonderful venue for our wedding reception! The space itself is beautiful, and the manager, Heather, explained to us the many options that they have for decorations, while giving my fiancée and me the space and time we needed to discuss what we wanted. (They were even willing to order other colors of linens if we wanted them, and Heather set up lots of mock examples so that we could see how different options would look.) The food was very good, and besides the great buffet options, there are nice appetizers available for a cocktail hour, and an open bar. The price of everything was very reasonable (lower than most places), but the quality was top notch, and Heather is a delight to work with. Our wedding was during the coronavirus pandemic, and the staff did a great job serving the food in a safe way and spacing things out with extra distance. This, coupled with masks whenever folks weren't seated and eating, meant that we were able to have a safe reception (over fourteen days after the wedding, no guests have reported showing any symptoms or testing positive). In sum, a great place for a reception.
