Ever since I was a senior in high school and had a awards banquet at the Crystal Ballroom at the Lerner Theatre, I knew I would one day have my wedding reception there as well! Melissa, the wedding coordinator, did a fantastic job of answering any questions I had as well as keeping everything organized. She did a phenomenal job of making sure everything ran smoothly at the reception and she set up all the little details so that I could relax on the day of the wedding. The catering at the crystal ballroom was exceptional! Our guests were blown away by the service and the food. The chicken and tilapia were outstanding. I would recommend this place to anyone. My wedding reception had phenomenal food, was very elegant, and ran very smoothly!

Wow! The Crystal Ballroom, staff, and food could not have been better! I worked with Nicole and she was amazing! She made sure we were getting a good deal, she made sure we got everything we wanted, and we got a very elegant, expensive looking wedding for under $5,000. It was seriously exceptional. I'm still getting comments about how wonderful the food was, and it's been six weeks. I cannot possibly compliment them enough.

We LOVED having our wedding reception at the Crystal Ballroom at the Lerner, while using the in house catering service. The food was delicious, the ballroom was breathtaking, and the staff was superb. I couldn't have asked for more. The event coordinators were wonderful, helpful, responsive...everything I needed. I HIGHLY recommend the Crystal Ballroom at the Lerner. They made our event the most perfect it could be.
