    As a caterer, I love working with the Kenilworth Assembly Hall! There is lots of space to work with for a flexible floor plan, a beautiful yard for outdoor ceremonies and can accomodate many different guest counts. Michelle's professionalism and quick response times make planning a breeze as well!
