Wonderful Experience
We reserved The Kensington Hotel for our daughter and son-in-law's wedding reception this past November. The ballroom with it's own lobby area was perfect for our guests. We especially loved the beautiful woodwork and decor in the hallway leading to the ballroom and in the attached lobby. Even better than the decor, were the people who made it such a special day. Leah, the catering/sales manager was exceptional at bringing everything together. She went above and beyond to make the day exactly what the bride had envisioned. She was kind and enthusiastic about our ideas, and added some great suggestions of her own. Likewise, the rest of the staff could not have been nicer. From the staff at the front desk, the staff who helped set up, to the chef and servers, everyone treated us well. The food (we chose buffet option with carving station) and hors d'oeuvres were wonderful. We also chose a late night pizza option for 10:30 pm which all of the guests appreciated. We can highly recommend The Kensington for your wedding and /or reception.
