Reviews
We just hosted our third event at Chez Event Venue. Each year we are blown away by the staff's professionalism.
The location & venue are phenomenal, and their customer service is amazing - always willing to help and go the extra mile.
Our attendees loved the venue and it was the perfect size! Folks could move around the room but it still felt intimate and warm.
