I shot a corporate holiday party here - it was a nice space but a bit over packed, and the staff couldn't seem to replenish the food on the buffet in a timely matter or hot. second round of potatoes were ice cold.

My daughter's wedding reception was help at Founders Hall last weekend and it was beautiful! Shelby and Emily were great to work with and helped us with every detail. The ballroom was just the right size for our 163 guests and the bartenders were great. The food from Talk of the Town was delicious. I would highly recommend this venue!

A lovely venue. I had the opportunity to visit for a wedding (ceremony held out back) and the reception (hosted in the indoor hall) and it was beautiful. The hall is much bigger than it seems from the outside and they have a bar/waiting area where guests can get drinks while food was served in the hall itself.

Visited in January 2018. I attended a corporate holiday event here. It was a perfect venue for our group of about 40 people. There is a long narrow room with the bar for cocktails. Then we moved to the dining room dinner with a buffet line and several round tables. There was also a dance floor and DJ for entertainment. The staff were professional and very kind, especially the bartenders. The food was delicious.

Even though it was a buffet, the dishes were unique. More than just your standard meat and veggies. I took home extra cheesy cauliflower casserole and enjoyed it for several days. The desserts were also very impressive. We had four options. I tried one of each and they were very good. This was the perfect venue for our event. They seem to have nice areas to enjoy Outdoors but since we were there in January we weren't able to take advantage of them.
