The Odyssey

I wish I could give Odyssey 0 stars and advise anyone considering them to avoid purely from the standpoint of the terrible business practices forced on us during the COVID pandemic. We had our wedding ceremony & reception planned (pre-COVID). When COVID "hit", they put us in a situation that forced us to agree to an addendum that ultimately did nothing to help and allowed Odyssey to keep a sizeable amount of our deposits. Understandably, Odyssey had to follow guidelines that led to restricting events to 50 guests (our contract was for 300). Ultimately, the addendum forced us to make a decision between canceling and losing deposits, going forward with 50 people, hope a cure for COVID was found and restrictions be lifted, or reschedule. At this point, with new couples scheduling weddings and other "COVID weddings" frantically rescheduling, Odyssey essentially only had winter 2022 available to reschedule. With much of our wedding planned and vendors booked, there was too limited a time frame to change almost every detail of our event. The addendum forced us to make this decision 60 days before event. With guidelines rapidly changing, we requested Odyssey allow us to make our decision 30 days before, rather than 60. We wrote an appeal to a faceless and nameless "board of directors" and our request was rejected. What makes Odyssey's business practice laughable (honestly, disgusting) was that not only was our request rejected, we were informed that even if restrictions were lifted ~2 weeks prior our event date and we opted to go forward with the original contract, the Odyssey would not have been able to be prepared to host our contracted event because they did not having sufficient notice to plan and coordinate... yet they somehow expect us to have made decisions to completely alter our wedding plans over 60 days in advance... to top it off, they would have also forced us to pay the full amount of our original contract for 300 guests, even though they at maximum could only host 50! Even the experience of canceling our event was difficult. The employee we met with offered no help or sympathy. Rather we we were told how difficult it was for to be the only employee on premise and there was nothing she could do for us personally, her hands were tied, etc.. When we requested to be put in contact with someone who could actually help (i.e., owner, member of the board) we were were not referred to anyone else. Rather, she stated the nameless and faceless "board of directors" are the decision makers, but that we could not be put in contact with them. We don't even know if this "board of directors" exists because we never received a formal response to our appeal. We were only told by another employee our request was denied. Is there a board of directors? Did our appeal ever reach them? Who knows? We surely do not. Overall, our experience with the Odyssey was truly terrible. To summarize what they did for us: printed a contract, blocked a day in a calendar, emailed an addendum, kept a sizeable chunk of our money. The level of work and effort put forth to think its reasonable to keep any of our money is absolutely ludicrous. They never even held a tasting for us. We ended up having a beautiful wedding at a different rockstar venue and are incredibly happy with how our day turned out. But our memories will always be dampened by The Odyssey, a shady venue, and its utter lack of respect for customers.

The venue is absolutely gorgeous with the white dance floor and chandeliers in the reception area, not to mention the outdoor ceremony space by the lake! Our guests all raved about the food!! We truly had no issues at all and would pick this venue a million times over if we could

I guess all's well that ends well, but a lot of the process of dealing with Odyssey was a huge headache. We kept receiving contracts that had incorrect information printed, they kept having typos in my email address so I wasn't getting information they thought they were sending, and because we never dealt with the same person twice it seemed like there was constant confusion over who told us what & who was handling things. When we came in for our final meeting the week of our wedding we were told that our remaining balance was actually more than what was printed on the final bill they had sent to us, which also speaks to the disorganization. On the night of our wedding we had three issues: (1) we were in the Terrace Ballroom downstairs and were told that cars could use the circle drive near the bag drop for guests who couldn't take the stairs (like our elderly relatives). When it came time for them to leave, cars had been parked in the circle drive making it impossible for pick-ups to happen at the downstairs door. This was a HUGE inconvenience. (2) the door to the Bridal Suite would not unlock with the key and it took 5 employees and 30 minutes to finally get it open so our bridal party could get our stuff out. They were so casual about this that they made it sound like this just regularly happens (3) Our cake topper was returned to us after the wedding broken. Not only was it broken, but someone tried to glue it back together and no one said a word about it to us, so they just tried to pretend that it didn't happen. We got a lot of compliments on the reception - the space was beautiful, the bar operated well, the food was fantastic, and this was a great venue to take bridal party pictures. If you can handle some stress and a few unexpected mishaps, go with Odyssey. If your experience will be ruined if everything isn't perfect, look elsewhere.

Our wedding was just beautiful! The venue is gorgeous and we appreciated how upfront everyone was about pricing, food choices, and what the hall would and would not be responsible for. It was a relief to deal with them and really feel like communication was open and honest.

My husband and I like to call the Odyssey a "machine" because that's how organized each of their coordinators are. We had our wedding reception, 250 people, at this location and it could not have gone better. The day of was perfect. The staff could not have been nicer, and we were complimented on the food ALL NIGHT! Leading up to the day of, I could not have been more assured in my choice of The Odyssey. Every annoying question I had, was met with a patient and RAPID response. The response time of emails was an most an hour. For an anxious bride, this was HUGE. The venue is beautiful, the staff is amazing, and the food was delicious. I highly highly recommend.

My wedding was great! The manager, John was so wonderful and very attentive. Would recommend. Not the mention everything is beautiful

We had our wedding reception at the Odyssey on 9/28/18 and everything was perfect!! The room is beautiful and the food and service was delicious! We heard from many of our guests that was it amazing wedding food. The odyssey has been at our access all year and a half we were engaged and answered all our questions promptly. They made wedding planning pretty easy. We also liked that we were able to put 1/2 of our total cost on a credit card to get points. :)

We had our wedding reception at The Odyssey on December 29, 2019. It was beautiful!! They had their Christmas decorations up in the entry way, which made for beautiful pictures (and saved us money on venue décor). The venue itself is very modern, and matched our vision perfectly. I had to plan this wedding from out-of-state. The girls at the Odyssey were great to work with, and were very responsive to emails. I was able to make all of my deposits online, which made it very convenient. I wasn't able to attend either their vendor fair or their tasting event, but I think these are helpful options for couples that are local. Overall, we had a great experience. It is a beautiful venue at a reasonable cost.

If I could give 5 stars just for the appearance, food, and beauty of the facility I would but sadly the customer service comes with it. I knew I always wanted to have my reception at the odyssey but I never thought I would feel like my wedding wasn’t “good enough” based on the service. First, you NEVER know who your going to talk to or what information you are going to receive when you email them. It was literally almost a different person every time I would reach out to them and somehow I would be told something different every time! For example: I contacted them (via email) about paying towards some of the balance and I was told I could pay with my CC since it was before their deadline. So I showed up and was told NO, I have to pay in cash, check etc, that whoever told me I could use my card was incorrect.… I showed them the email that verified I could pay but I was told they needed to speak with management regarding this. After waiting 20min, we left and said we will just come back another time with cash. Second, I was told when I booked my wedding (14monnths in advance) that I can call 2 weeks prior to my wedding and reserve a time to set up my center pieces if that day was available. ( I had confirmed this information numerous times in person) So, as I was told, 2 weeks prior to our wedding I contacted Odyssey to reserve a set up time. I was told that I cannot make a reservation for set up, that I now need to wait until the Monday prior to my wedding to see if a different event comes in. So on the Monday prior to my wedding, I called and was told they booked a rehearsal dinner in the room that my wedding was in. I was told that we can come in the afternoon of my wedding to set up. I was stunned that they would even think I would come in the late afternoon of my wedding day. My husband told them No, that he will be there at 10:30am to set up in which they said okay but not all the tables may be set. (that was fine because all we need was to put gems into cylinder vases that were all pre-bagged and flower petals down.) Thankfully, everything turned out beautiful because my husband and his groomsmen went there in the early morning. Unfortunately, we choose not to have the florist set up our center pieces because we have very basic but elegant center pieces that did not involve the florist having to set it up and it would have been a waste of money. The final fail of customer services would be that the day of the wedding, they not only did not have the fireplace lit (which I had asked/requested if they would and even offered to pay for wood and I was told it would be on) but if you take a look at Odyssey’s Facebook pages they show all these pictures of weddings they host congratulating the bride a groom and showing off there wedding. When I went to see if my wedding was posted or congratulated I found nothing (mind you, my wedding was the only wedding that night). It made my Husband and I feel as if our wedding was not up to “their” standards and that we did not spend enough for them to “show” our wedding the public. They should really rethink the concept of posting weddings to the public if they do not plan on showing everyone’s wedding. Overall, the Odyssey is a gorgeous venue and has amazing food and will make any wedding perfect! We will forever cherish all the effort we put in to make our special night perfect but we will not miss the poor customer service.

Our wedding was everything we dreamed of and more! It wouldn't have been possible to have such an amazing day without all of the staff at The Odyssey. Every detail was executed perfectly from start to finish and exceeded our expectations! All of our guest can't stop raving about the food and how beautiful everything was! Our minds were at ease knowing that we were in good hands. We truly appreciate everyone that assisted us in making our wedding day so special, we can't thank you enough!

We just had our wedding at the Odyssey and we couldn't be more pleased. The staff was so very attentive from the time we booked all the way through our wedding day. The space was beautiful, the food was wonderful, and the staff the day of our wedding was nothing short of excellent. It was a perfect night and we had no worries thanks to the Odyssey!

The Odyssey was the perfect venue for our wedding! We had the ceremony outside at the gazebo and the reception inside the West Ballroom! My husband and I began our search of the huge Chicagoland area and we went and visited The Odyssey early in the search and knew it was the one. We had an enormous amount of compliments from our guests on the venue! The staff is very responsive and helpful throughout the process.

So amazing! Our wedding was perfect and all the staff was awesome! They were always available if we had any questions and helped create our dream wedding! We had about 215 people and everyone loved the food and venue!

Such a beautiful place!

Amazing amazing amazing I can’t say it enough everything was perfect. Chanel is the best! We showed up and one table in the hallway wasn’t enough for how much we wanted set up, they had another table up in under 5 minutes and everything was perfect. Also got to use the Off Season discount which lead to a reasonable bill.

This venue is absolutely stunning. The update remodeling they did recently is unbelievable. My guests made many compliments on how gorgeous and great the food was. The price is also reasonable, (fantastic for Illinois venue prices). The staff is kind and courteous. (Also, the chairs didn't even need covers because they looked so good.) I couldn't have asked for a better venue!

Stress free and more beautiful than I could have imagined. We had our wedding on Saturday, November 11th and planned this day in less than a year. The Odyssey's staff made this whole process easy and stress free. Their customer service was unbelievable. I would recommend this venue to anyone looking for a place to throw the party of a lifetime!

We love working with Odyssey Country Club they have always delivered great service and has always accommodated our needs. They run a well organized reception hall to keep your evening on course so that the couple enjoys their wedding. Looking forward in working in many events to come! Thanks, Extreme Sounds Entertainment & Lighting extremesoundsent.com

Nice place. Only disappointed in the fact that they didn’t have a changing room and no microphone.

The Odyssey is a fabulous place to have your wedding! We just got married there in October and it was very beautiful with the new remodel. The food was super delicious and they let my husband get a filet even though everyone else got chicken, which was nice. The planners are very responsive to any questions you have along the way and always keep you posted on when things are due. The staff and servers were also great the day of, continuing to ask me if I wanted any hors d'oeuvres or any drinks and made sure I was taken care of. My ONLY complaint is that I wish they would help more with set up. I wanted to do my own centerpieces but in order to do so, I needed to have someone set them up for me, like my mom or someone, or do it myself. Since that seemed like a whole thing I didn't want to deal with, I just used the ones they provided. I was pretty low maintenance so it was fine, just something to keep in mind as you plan. They will set up your place cards and all that though. The balcony was also a big hit at the Odyssey, as a lot of people went out there to get air. Everyone stayed late and didn't want to leave, so I assume that means it was a big hit! Thank you to everyone at the Odyssey!

Beautiful venue and amazing organizing team! I just got married this past weekend and I got so many compliments about how gorgeous the venue was. They just remodeled everything in March and it is so classy and elegant. The service was great and the sales team was great at checking in with you so you don't miss anything. My guests loved being able to go outside to cool off from dancing the night away. Wonderful views of the golf course, great photo opps and just a lovely venue overall. I highly recommend The Odyssey to host any event.

I cannot thank the staff at odyssey enough for all they did to make my day perfect! The sales team is awesome and assisted me in all my inquiries. The grounds are stunning and my guest loved the venue. The food was delicious and was highly complemented. The outside ceremony was absolutely beautiful and everything went off without a hitch. We are extremely happy we went with the odyssey, it is absolutely beautiful and you will not be disappointed!

Perfection!!!! Our wedding reception took place Friday 11/11/16. We made the right choice to celebrate our marriage at the Odyssey. Everything was perfect from the decorum to the food!!!! All of our guests, loved the food!!!!! Mrs. Sonya L. Garrett

Our wedding was November 4th 2016, I don't know where to start with how wonderful everything went. Everyone was so helpful and quick responding , whenever I had a question it was answered right away. The day of was absolutely perfect! Servers and bartenders were absolutely amazing ! Very friendly and very prompt with the service. Absolutely perfect for your wedding day! recommend the odyssey

Working with the Odyssey was a wonderful experience! I had a lot of questions and the staff was wonderful about answering all of them. They were great on keeping me updated and on track and always worked to make sure my day was perfect and exactly what I wanted! I had my ceremony and reception there and it was perfect. The staff was great, the food was great, and the venue was beautiful.

Odyssey was beautiful. The girls in the office were so helpful. I could email them any time of day and as many times a day and they would always get back to me quickly. If I could do it all over again, I would choose Odyssey every time! Highly recommended!

The staff was really nice and professional however, the day of the wedding a few things were never done that were promised. My biggest concern was that they promised that the doors to my reception room were going to be closed so that when my guests arrive, they wouldn't be walking around the room messing everything up before the photographer gets a chance to take pictures of the different details. They kept the doors wide open and my guests were all over my room. They were also supposed to direct traffic to the gazebo outside where the ceremony was going to take place and there was no one there doing that. The guests were also supposed to walk back into the building the way that they were supposed to come out (through the lower floor) and they ended up going through the balcony into the reception room. A few days before the wedding we gave them all of the items that they were in charge of setting up like the champagne flutes, cake topper, placement cards, etc. but at the wedding they never put the cake topper on, instead they put it underneath the cake stand. The wedding was very beautiful anyway and the food was great but the biggest thing I'm upset about is that they kept the doors to the reception hall wide open. The many times that I talked to them regarding the door they said, " Oh yes, of course it will be closed and guests will not be allowed inside". Also, in the very beginning they told me that we would only have 2 hours (tops) to decorate the room because they were having a Sunday brunch in my room that day that ended at 3pm and my wedding started at 5pm. Well they ended up moving the Sunday brunch to a different room and never told me about the move. When my father-in-law went there 2 days before the wedding to give them the final payment, he said that the room was already set up the way it was supposed to be set up for the wedding and for me to check with them if they had moved the Sunday brunch to a different room. Sure enough I called them and they said that they did in fact move it, but I had to ask them my-self. They knew that it was a big concern with me regarding only having 2 hours to set up and when they freed the room for me they never let me know of the change. I was expecting only to have 2 hours to set up until the last minute. Other than that, the service was very good and we had a great time. The grounds are absolutely beautiful and my guests really enjoyed my wedding.

We are so pleased with picking this venue for our reception. I feel certain with their expertise and our passion that everything will work out well

The Odyssey Country Club exceeded our expectations. The sales staff is fabulous...they were beyond helpful. The food was fantastic. I will recommend this venue to anyone!

Kristina and all the girls were amazing to work with. We got married there outside and it was absolutely perfect! Food was great!!

My wedding was recently held at the Odyssey which is a venue that I have attended several weddings prior to my own. The staff was excellent the entire planning process. Answering every call, email, question, up to the week of our wedding. We went with the Family Style meal planning and had a few of the extra bells and whistles (lighting, extra table linens). We have had several compliments from our guest and the quality of our wedding and would HIGHLY recommend this venue for a Chicago Suburb Wedding.

We had our wedding reception at the East Odyssey ballroom on 7/3/15. The staff was extremely helpful and polite to work with. The food was excellent and the ballroom itself is gorgeous without decorations. The only downfall to this venue is that you cannot pay by credit card, however that is a very minimal glitch and many wedding venues do not allow you to pay by credit card anyways. I highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for both an indoor and outdoor feel. Our guests continue to still call my husband and I and say how beautiful the Odyssey was.

We just got married at Odyssey Country Club. It was amazing! I called at least once a week 6 months prior to the wedding with a million questions. They answered every question without hesitation. The servers and bartenders were great! Very professional, helpful and quick. I highly recommend Odyssey!

We got married on 9/20/14. The venue is beautiful!! We were in the Odyssey Ballroom which opens up to the balcony and has a beautiful view of the lake and gazebo. Many of my guests camped out on the balcony the entire night. We were planning on getting married at the East Gazebo that overlooks one of their lakes. Unfortunately, it rained and we had to move our ceremony inside the reception hall. They were patient with me until I made the decision. When I finally gave the okay to move inside, they set everything up very quickly and beautifully. They even asked if there were any preferences on how I wanted the room set up. The staff let me hide in one of their offices until I was supposed to come out. One of them made sure I had water because I started becoming really nervous. I had a memorial frame with my late mother's picture in it that was accidentally dropped by my father. It broke into many pieces and one of the staff brought it to his office and glued it back together like new. The waitstaff was also amazing. They were always friendly and checked if we needed anything. When the new hubby and I were greeting guests at their tables during dinner, they made sure to keep our food warm and to not take it away until we said it was okay. Throughout the planning anyone I talked to was friendly, knowledgeable and quick to respond. I absolutely would recommend this venue. Everything was handled perfectly!

Excellent customer service. My guests and my groom were very impressed with professionalism of the staff. As we made changes, we cringed when they were about to reveal our price and every time we were pleasantly surprised at the bottom line. They were flexible and informative. What clinched OCC as our venue, their superior customer service when we walked through the door for the first time. We looked at other places in the area in person (after searching online first) and they could not be bothered. We had a large wedding, so this was no small potatoes for any venue. But, OCC was the only one who took the time to show us all of our options. They also had a list of preferred providers (e.g., photographers, bakery, etc.) that helped us get through our checklist efficiently. If we asked for something out of the ordinary, it was never a "no", it was a "let's see what we can do"...sometimes they could accommodate the request, other times they couldn't, but they were always fair. The gal we were originally working with was no longer working at OCC when we had additional planning to do, but OCC did not miss a beat, everything was seamless. The guests raved about the food. It was a perfect event.

Odyssey did an amazing job on our wedding day & everyone raved about our food!

We had both our ceremony and reception here and it was perfect. The venue was so pretty and the staff was wonderful. The girls in the office were always quick to return my calls, emails and million questions. The waitresses and bartenders at the reception were helpful and friendly. Everyone complimented the food and how great it was. This venue made my wedding day perfect!

The staff at Odyssey was very accommodating.

The staff at the Odyssey was great! We primarily dealt with Jaclyn Smith who is the BEST! She was always extremely friendly when we met with her and made us feel so at ease throughout the planning process. Whenever we called or emailed the team at Odyssey was very responsive. We did not always speak with the same person but it was so organized that no matter who we contacted it was a seamless process to get a response to our questions. Also, everyone I've spoken with has mentioned how beautiful the ballroom and grounds are and how well everything turned out. The lobster bisque and Caesar salad were great! Everything turned out really well and we're so glad we chose this venue for this special moment in our lives.

Odyssey Country Club was the first venue we visited in our hunt for our reception. We were completely won over by the staffs friendly and helpful attitude. We worked with several representatives over the course of our preparation. They were all always on top of things and were quick to return our call or respond to our email. When the day of finally arrived and we walked into the ballroom, we was extremely pleased with everything. Our day of rep, Stacy, came in to greet me and make sure that everything was as expected. 2 Banquet managers also introduced themselves and let us know that if we needed anything they would be there for us. We had 425 guests, in the grand ballroom, passed appetizers during the cocktail hour, a double martini luge and fireworks - the whole evening went perfectly and the food and drinks were great.

I can not fully express my gratitude towards the people at Odyssey Country Club. They made the entire process easy and painless and I received so many compliments on how good the food was and how beautiful the venue was. They exceeded my expectations and did everything under budget.

Great place! Decent food! Kept the flow of the reception going! The staff did great job with the service! I'd recommend the Odyssey for a wedding!

Odyssey was extremely helpful in preparing for my wedding. The event coordinators were so nice and knew exactly what they were doing. I couldn't have asked for better service the day of the wedding. All of the workers were wonderful and made sure every table had what they needed. Additionally, the food was wonderful. We had the chicken dinner, and so many people commented on the quality of the chicken. I would HIGHLY recommend Odyssey Country Club!

The girls in the office were so easy to work with, answered questions in a timely matter, super friendly & understanding... The plates were priced reasonably & lots of compliments on the food!

We had our reception for a December wedding at the Odyssey. To start, the holiday decorations are GORGEOUS!!!! All our guests were stunned by the beauty of the Odyssey. The staff was so helpful and organized and made our night perfect! Everyone was very friendly throughout the entire planning process and the night-of. Also, our food was amazing. None of our guests left hungry; not to mention we recieved so many calls the next day from guests saying they had the best time ever! I would recommend them 100% to everyone.

They did a great job of making sure everything was perfect for the day of. There may have been some inflexibility with some minor details, but overall they were very accommodating and helpful when trying to give the personalized touches to the wedding. They made sure to send out reminders regarding payments (of course) but also when different check-in were needed. They also had various food tasting opportunities so we had a good idea of what to expect for food - which was absolutely delicious!

After visiting several different venues we choose The Odyssey Country Club. They didn't have any hidden costs and were up front about everything. The girls in the office were sooooooooooooo nice and helpful, especially considering the deal with crazy brides. The were prompt with their email responses and answered everything to the fullest. The day of the wedding the room exceeded my expectations...absolutely beautiful. The waitresses were ver accomadating and kind to our guests. * They left my centerpieces up until the very end and we appreciated that considering all the work we put into them. Many times they are breaking it all down after dinner so they can get out quicker...luckily that was not the case at Odyssey. I would highly reccomend the Odyssey Country Club p.s. My pictures on the golf course were beautiful

Everything was beautiful and exactly how I wanted it. Everyone who worked there was a big help as well. We called there about 5 times a day for the last couple weeks leading up to the wedding and they were so kind everytime. I would recommend them to anyone

Everything went perfect. Love the hall and the staff is extremely nice.. only one thing bothered me. THE FOOD, the soup, salad, potatoes were great.. the meat and chicken.. wasnt fully cooked which I was a bit upset about. The meat was burnt on the outside red as a tomato on the inside. If you go with the hall which is absolutely beautiful DO IT. But, make SURE you tell them exactly how you want your food cooked. This was my only mistake. EVERYTHING else was beautiful, Stacy, Christy and Jaclyn were great to work with.

As soon as my husband and I had our initial consultation at Odyssey, we immediately knew that it was the place that we had to have our wedding reception. Odyssey is a BEAUTIFUL country club and our guests commented all night about how great everything looked. When planning our wedding, the staff in the office was very professional and helpful when planning the little details of the night. However, I did find that they were somewhat resistant to any suggestions that were made by us for minor changes that we were hoping to be able to do. Additionally, I was also VERY disappointed with the level of professionalism that some of the wait staff displayed on the night of our wedding. They lost the box to our cake knife and server and took my mother away for 20 minutes of our reception (when she should have been ENJOYING herself!) to help them look under tables for the box that they lost! After the wedding, I also received a few comments from our guests that some of the staff were not as friendly to them as I would have expected them to be. Finally, the thing that caused me that MOST STRESS of all on my wedding day was that the power was out when my husband, wedding party and I arrived at Odyssey (on a 90 degree day!)! Although I understand that the outage was due to the weather, it added VERY unneeded stress on my wedding day! The power finally turned on shortly after the reception officially began, but many of my guests began arriving while the power was still out. Overall, Odyssey is beautiful, but some staff members need improvement their professionalism and a backup plan is MUCH NEEDED for when un-forseen circumstances (like power outages!) occur.

Everything went perfectly the day of the wedding! The hall looked great and was very presentable. The wedding coordinators are great and very accommodating. The only issue we had was a miscommunication and our guests were allowed to enter the hall before we set up our receiving line! Other than that it was wonderful... we had several guests comment that the food was the best food they ate at a wedding (filet and chicken, salmon for vegetarians)!

This venue was the best. They work really hard to meet all your needs. And the place is so beautiful all my guest raved about how nice everything was. The food is just ok,though.

It is a beautiful venue! So glad we chose the Odyssey for both our ceremony and reception.

I loved it here. Beautiful patio and scenery.

Leading up to our wedding, the staff at the Odyssey were very accommodating and flexible and worked with my wife and I in order to make the wedding everything we wanted but to also stay within our budget. On the day of the wedding, everything was beautiful. They did a wonderful job of setting up all of our items exactly as we had discussed, and they made the room look perfect. We had countless compliments on how beautiful our room looked. The food was very good. It was actually much better the night of our reception than it was at the tasting dinner a few months prior. I would recommend Odyssey to anyone that is looking for a reception hall for their wedding. We had an awesome experience. Also, I recommend getting the tiki torches around the water that is behind the reception hall. It looked awesome and is great for pictures. We were able to split the cost with the other couple getting married that night. It was definitely worth it.
