The Academy and your wonderful staff were so attentive- the tables looked outstanding- very nicely done- such attention to detail! The ambience that your facility creates added to a very joyous occasion. You provided exactly the atmosphere we had hoped for – everyone felt welcome and taken care of- it really felt like exactly the party you would want to host- with someone else taking care of all the details- first viewing of the photographers shots today and the proof is in the pictures. Thank you to yourself, Bill and very professional staff for all your effort in making this a very treasured memory.”

"Saturday night was perfect. The room was set up beautifully….loved how you set up the Midnight Snack Table, especially for the fruit. Tables were beautiful. We have had several people say that it was the best 'wedding food' they have ever had, though a few people said that they found the soup a bit peppery. We really partied!! Your staff was terrific and Bill managed everything well. Thank you for everything. It couldn't have been better."

"My client was very pleased with their event. They said that the food was amazing, the interactive food stations were very fun enjoyed bu all the guests. Staff were very accommodating with any changes, delays. They were very helpful and professional. During the planning process – the coordinator was great at making suggestions on how to make our event successful and stay within our budget."

"Everything was amazing. The service, the planning, the coordination, the food….everything was just fantastic. Everyone was very helpful and cooperative. The servers and the managers were very pleasant and a pleasure to work with. It was an amazing party and you guys were responsible for a big part of it. Thank you Andrea, you were very helpful. It was a pleasure working with you."

"We had an amazing time at our party. With the help of the staff and Andrea our coordinator we were able to pull off a "surprise" 40th birthday for my husband. The DJ they recommended was excellent. The tarot card reader was soo popular I didn't even get to see her!! We received many compliments on the atmosphere at The Academy and many questions on how I ever found the place. Excellent job all around! The best part was that we were also able to have our younger children there with us to enjoy their Dad's party. They were amazed their Mom and Dad and our friends go dance and "party" like that. Highly recommend The Academy for any type of party!"
