“Yesterday really was amazing! Thank you so much for everything. The staff was great and everyone that attended loved the venue and the decor. No one could believe that it was [your staff] who did everything! Thank you again for everything. We are looking forward to our next event there!” – V.L., 2022 Bat Mitzvah
“I have attended a few events at The Hidden Gem and have helped coordinate an event through my organization at this venue. I could not be happier with the amount of care and accommodation offered by The Hidden Gem. The food, service, decorations, and cleanliness are amazing, as well as the attention given to even the smallest details. This wonderfully-updated space is beautiful, both inside and outside. If you want to partner with people who will care as much as you do for your special occasion, look no further!” – D. G., 2022 - School Banquet

We enjoyed it so much and the food was amazing!" C.P., 2022 - Quinceanera
“The Hidden Gem” is literally the perfect name for this event venue! They far exceeded my and my family's expectations and I’m so happy my sister took my word for it and married her forever here! Everything was beautiful, everyone was beyond helpful (we definitely needed more help than we anticipated) and they were there every step of the way! The food was also delicious, and we truly enjoyed ourselves. If you’re looking for a beautiful space for any event and a team that will make your day/event even more special, please check them out!!" - F. J., 2022 Sister of the Bride
