"Amazing Experience!"

I just had my wedding at the Metropolis Ballroom on 10/23/10 and could not be more THRILLED with how it turned out!! The space is just beautiful - we were so sick of looking at the standard ballrooms with the ugly carpet and outdated everything, the ballroom at the Metropolis is breathtaking with it's high ceilings and wood floor. Michael guided us through the process from start to finish. We didn't have it in our budget for a wedding planner but we clearly didn't need one. I was surprised at how involved he was, he was constantly giving us ideas for decorating and was very good at returning our many emails. He even accompanied us to the florist on several occasions! Everything went off without a hitch - the appetizers were plentiful and delicious (loved the scallops!), food was awesome (I recommend the London Broil), cake turned out perfect, and Michael along with Halina made sure to keep us on schedule without being the least bit bothersome. All of our guests told us they had a great time. One of my bridesmaids just got engaged and now she's seriously considering having the reception at the Metropolis as well! For future brides, I would highly recommend the Metropolis for your wedding. Go see the space for yourself and meet Michael - you won't be disappointed by either of them.

"Don't use this venue!"

My sister got married at this venue and it was an awful experience. The food was overpriced and worst of all the wait staff dropped the $2000 cake and let it sit there infront of the bride and groom and guest for about 20 minutes. They did nothing to clean it up. The worst thing is that they served the cake after my sister the bride told them not to serve it and they told guest that it was not the cake that was dropped but everyone could tell it was the cake! Gross! Who does that for health and safety reason. If they are serving you cake that is dropped on the floor infront of everyone can you image what they are doing to you behind the scene in the kitchen. Please do not use this venue! They have not apologized to my sister or given her any refund for their mistake! She spent so much money on this wedding venue and they treated her so bad! You never know what will happen at your wedding but you definitely want people who are nice and professional to deal with before, during and after and these people are not!
