Versailles Venue was the perfect choice for my daughter's sweet 16 celebration. The owner made it easy for us to communicate with her, and she has an awesome staff that really took care of us throughout the planning process and on the day of the event. The venue itself is very stunning, with a unique and elegant decor that was immaculately clean. We were so impressed with the level of service and the overall value that Versailles Venue provided - it truly exceeded our expectations and made my daughter's special day one to remember.
