We had an absolutely amazing experience with aVenue Event Group at 51 Club! Our office group of about 70 people had a fantastic time — we truly couldn’t have asked for a better event. The catering team was excellent, the food was hot, flavorful, and a big hit with everyone, and the bartenders were top notch.
AVenue Event Group – specifically Charlton and Chloe were an all-star team to work with while planning our company off-site event at CrushYard. From the initial brainstorming and planning, on-site visits, loads of emails/calls/texts, the team executed the event without a hitch. Grateful for the team for helping our vision come to life.
