The Columns Banquets - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

A beautiful venue. I have photographed lots of weddings here. The staff is amazing too.

The columns put on an amazing buffet with such delicious food, better than I have ever had at a buffet line, even in a casino!

I went to the columns yesterday for the first time for a funeral luncheon. It was absolutely phenomenal. The food was the best I’ve had and the wait staff was incredibly attentive to every detail. I was very impressed and will be going back there.

Elegant venue with a very beautiful dance floor. Excellent for wedding events and any other formal dinner and dancing.

Ordered catering for 40-50 people for a grad party. I have never had so many guests compliment the amazing food that day and texts the day after. Amazing food, prices and customer service. You guys knocked it out of the park!

Our family from NC was here to celebrate a cousin’s wedding. We were SO IMPRESSED with this facility, food and especially the staff! Taylor and Danielle were just amazing! The whole team worked continuously and efficiently to make sure the evening was one of fun and memories! A Big THANK YOU from this crowd!!!

I went for a luncheon. The food was absolutely amazing!

Was guest at Bridal shower today. My first visit here. What a gem! Great food, great room - atmosphere, and staff.

Great food. Excellent service. Beautiful banquet room.

Went for Easter brunch . They should take reservations long wait. But the food and service was excellent

The Columns always caters to every need for groups. The food, particularly their breakfast, is so delicious.

I took my family of 5 to The Columns this morning for their buffet breakfast. $16 per person... for the worst breakfast buffet I've ever eaten. The eggs were fake, the sausage patties were nasty, and the desserts were best described as continental. You'd get a better meal from a free breakfast after your stay in a Motel 6, and at least they leave the light on for ya 🤣. The only option that was good was the coffee. This meal plus tip cost me $104. I'm never going back here for a buffet breakfast, we were so disappointed.

I have done quite a few balloon setups at this venue. They are always easy to work with, the staff there is so professional and polite. They have a beautiful facility.

Actually did altons. Was seated very quickly. Server was prompt and courteous. Always checking on us at the right time.

we had a funeral lunch there. the staff were very nice and friendly and helpful in getting items we forgot. this was our first time in the banquet room. there was plenty of space for everyone .parking is never an issue they also have handicap parking. we have had plenty of family parties in the bar area, and again, the staff makes sure we have a good time. we will definitely be back for more good times.

I have been here for many different styles of events, always a great time with delicious food and polite attentive staff

Every time I photograph an event or wedding at The Columns, I am always satisfied with their service and staff; on top of their picturesque interior and exterior spaces, as well as their delicious food. Some of the best venue coffee too!

Food was nothing special, very good service but over priced

Way too many people jammed into the room we were in.

Have done 2 weddings here and both where a blast! Extremely professional staff. Highly recommended for both ceremony and reception

So we had an anniversary party a few weeks ago & WOW The Columns was THE PLACE TO BE! They are a class act. With fair pricing, delicious food and service above and beyond ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ~😊😊😊😊😊

Great food N service the gentlemen ron Flatley was great

We have been holding our breakfast meetings here for the last few years. The breakfast is always good. The food is warm and always replenished to keep the flow of hungry guys fed. The entire staff is wonderful and very welcoming. One thing that can be improved upon is coffee mugs! Our team is 90% working men and using a tea cup for coffee is near impossible with multiple trips to the beverage station. Please get coffee mugs!!

Our family recently hosted a memorial luncheon at The Columns, and it was exceptional. The whole process was seamless. They were flexible with last-minute additions, the prices were fair, the staff gracious, and the food was outstanding. Thank you! I highly recommend The Columns for events, and Alton's Restaurant for dining.

3.5 We were here for a wedding reception. Everyone was really nice. The service was fast and mostly friendly. The soup was good. The salad tasted like they made it an hour earlier. It wasn't cold, and the lettuce was not crisp. The salmon course was delicious, but the steak may have been over-seasoned. I spoke to many people who felt the same.All I know is my wife did not finish her steak. That only happens if she is dying or there's an issue with the steak. Overall, it was nice. For 90+ per plate, you expect more, I suppose.

Όμορφος χώρος. Υπέροχη εξυπηρέτηση. Πολύ καλό φαγητό. Το προτείνω ανεπιφύλακτα.

Awesome staff, great venue, we'll maintained, really good food!! Recommend!!

I can’t say enough positive things about the columns for our wedding. Everything was perfect and our guests raved about the service and food. Jessica and her staff made sure everything ran smoothly and were there for whatever we needed. It’s a beautiful venue. 11/10 recommend

The chicken was delicious on our buffet .

I cannot express how happy & please I am with the columns! They made my wedding an absolute dream; from start to finish they were extraordinary! Jessica was my coordinator and she is absolutely amazing at what she does, she made sure I knew everything going on and really made sure her team put my vision into action! My guests were blown away by the beauty and the food, the guests said it was the best wedding with the best service and food they have ever experienced! I can’t thank the columns enough & will always recommend them ! 5 star service all the way ♥️

Had a vow renewal ceremony and wedding reception here 2 years after our COVID wedding, Jessica brought our vision to life, her attention to detail is unmatched! I felt like her only client. Food was fantastic too, would never hesitate to have any event here.

Came here for a bridal shower and found this place to be a beautiful venue. The food was delicious and the staff very attentive and pleasant. Bathroom is ok....probably could have used a little more attention as it was a busy day with a few events going on...but they weren't horrible. We were coming from out of town so a big plus it was easy to find.

The food was very good, never had a bad meal there Yet. service was friendly and courteous. highly recommend this.

Wad spacious and food was excellent.

My daughter's wedding will be her dream come true in the beauty inside and outside of the Columns. Excited Mom 💞

Food was good. Staff was very nice during my mom's funeral lunch. Very accommodating for the needs our loved ones. They took time w some of the family who needed help w the food and tables. Place was very clean and well organized.

Jessica and her entire team are truly top notch. They worked with our team for a school fundraising dinner and were absolutely sensational, catering to all special dietary needs and requests from our guests, including on the night of the event! Their patience, professionalism, passion for service and attention to detail are truly exemplary and obvious. I would highly recommend using The Columns Banquets for your next special event / occasion, but ONLY if you want to make it MEMORABLE & EXTRAORDINARY! Kudos and thank you! - #FahimFix

We had our company Holiday party here and everything was AWESOME.

What a beautiful facility. Top notch staff and the food was delicious.

Super professional staff, and food was great. Place looks real fancy too...

Last Friday was our Father’s Funeral Luncheon! We had more people than expected and the staff was so accommodating putting up more tables for all the people that came! They were so wonderful, never complained always were very pleasant to all of us! The food was exceptional and more than we could ask for! Thank you so much for all your hard work! Sincerely, Joanne Angelo

I have been here twice now in the past two months. One was for a wedding and the other was for a banquet. Both meals were phenomenal, they really know how to cook and present meals. Since I was not part of the planning for the wedding or the banquet, I cannot comment on the cost of the meals per person. I can say that everything was delicious, the place is very clean, the staff are extremely nice, very helpful and attentive. I would highly recommend to anyone planning an event that they check out the Columns, you and your guests will not be disappointed.

Went here for a wedding the past weekend, beautiful space. Huge room, awesome staff. Super nice with the outdoor and indoor lounge areas. Very comfortable and was able to comfortably have the wedding with plenty of places for people to talk and have fun! Food was amazing at the reception, and drinks were strong and flowing well. Highly recommend. One of the best receptions I’ve been to!

Glamerous,Great service, food really good, great parking, handicap accessible.

Was at a baby shower there on July 24th it was lovely the food was very good the chicken was very very tender the room was set up beautifully I have nothing but praise for the whole party and of course the party itself was fun. I will definitely check out the columns for any future party that I will have

High quality food. Staff was very attentive and friendly. Perfect temperature in the room which is often not the case at large parties.

Went foe a wedding. The outside area was beautiful with plenty of tables and benches and even a couple of fire pits. The inside was just as beautiful. The food was absolutely fantastic they had chicken breast and steak they were great!!!

Very good food and pleasant staff

We had our youngest daughter 's wedding reception there five years ago and are other daughter's wedding and reception will be there in October 2022. We also had a baby Shower there just last week. We also had 2 funeral breakfasts there. Service was very good

All our guest have commented on how beautiful the property is both indoor and outdoor. The food was excellent. The vegan entree of cauliflower steak and rice was great. The outdoor cocktail hour was amazing. Many guests said one of the best weddings they’ve ever attended.

Everything was amazing. Food was delicious. Loved it

Jessica and Amanda were AMAZING to work with. I had crazy visions and ideas that I requested but they didn’t hesitate and had me walk through everything I dreamed of. They delivered everything and more in the set up and throughout the whole process. I will continue to use the columns for all of my events and can’t wait to work with them again!

I recently attended an alumni dinner at the Columns. As always we had 3 choices of meals to pick from-selections made by our dinner committee. Our meals included everything from soup to salad, to entree and dessert. Everyone who attended the dinner whether they had chosen chicken, pork or salmon made the same comments about their meal. They all said it was one on the best meals they've had!! Thank you to the friendly staff and servers who helped make our first get-together of the year a meal to remember.

Great food, staff and the room was very pretty.

Nice location. Good food. Can go wrong with Altons

Great food, company christmas party

I attended my daughters baby shower. Service was excellent, brunch was delicious. True professionals, they know what they're doing. We also had her wedding reception there. Book your event, you will not be disappointed!

Staff had great attention to our needs. Kept the food going and removed plates quickly. The food we had was very good for buffet style.

Went for a baby shower, everything was beautiful and the food was amazing. The staff was over the top helpful.

Great atmosphere, but I don't like their food.

Daughters shower here it was wonderful and the service people are excellent from my reservation to the day it was a great experience!!

Beautiful Banquet venue! Brunch was excellent.

Best wedding I have ever attended.

Even though there was a staffing shortage our breakfasts came out hot and delicious. And our server was very friendly and always there with coffee refills. Hopefully they will bring back the breakfast buffet on sundays. It was fabulous. Guess we'll have to wait until Covid is better controlled.

I've been a wedding guest at a lot of venues. The Columns was great! The appetizers were great, the food was good, the servers were friendly and accommodating, the room was beautiful and there were plenty of places for photos.

Clean,Beautiful place.Amazing service.Great food!!! I had a blast

Here for funeral Breakfast. As always this place does it right and everyone was friendly. Never had a bad experience here. Update 10.2.2021. Juat was here attending the 4th wedding in 3 years here. This place is top notch. Great food and the service once again was impeccable. Awesome staff.

So impressed with this venue! I’ve attended a wedding and baby shower at the columns and was very pleased. The food was excellent and the staff was very attentive. I’d definitely consider this venue for an event of my own!
