Jackie, Alec, and the rest of the Hope Events team were absolutely incredible to work with. Throughout the entire wedding planning process, Jackie always answered my questions quickly and reassured me whenever I felt worried about something. While setting up the spaces, the staff went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. During our big day, they checked in with us and made our wedding party feel comfortable and taken care of. Our guests loved each space we took them to during the night: the new ceremony space, the bowling alley, and the reception space. I can't express our gratitude enough and would recommend this venue to anyone looking for a fun and special place to host an event. Reviewed on 17-01-2024

Jackie and her team were wonderful. They were responsive leading up and reassured me throughout the process. We had the reception in the bowling alley and the guests loved it. They also commented on how kind and attentive the staff were. It was a fantastic experience! Reviewed on 06-11-2023

When we began planning our wedding, we knew we wanted something unique and unforgettable. Little did we know that our dream wedding would take place at the most unexpected yet incredible venue with a historic bowling alley! The food stations were so much fun. Everyone had a great time! Thanks to our amazing wedding planner, Jackie, our special day was an absolute blast from start to finish. Reviewed on 15-09-2023
Kelsey Barrett(bride)4 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 18-03-2023 We got married 3/18/2023. Then venue itself is BEAUTIFUL! We got so many compliments from guests about how fun the bowling for cocktail hour was and how unique the location was. This venue is reasonably priced, but decor definitely added up to the overall cost. I did not get warm and fuzzy vibes from the “coordinator” (the person who you book with and work with until the day of). She did not answer emails on a timely fashion, until I pointed it out and she was very prompt after I mentioned it. Day of the wedding we were setting up in the reception space and she was giving tours. She did not acknowledge my presence as her and her visitors walked right in the middle of me setting up my decor. Some of the people touring then proceeded to carefully assess all my decorations, which I really did not appreciate. The coordinator (again not the day of coordinator- ally was GREAT) then told my bridesmaid she would hang a sign that gave directions to my guests (it is a HUGE space) and she did not. She put the sign down on the bar and left it there. This woman was very difficult to work with and I really do get along with just about anyone. Ally, the day of coordinator was LOVELY. I was very grateful to have her. The staff that worked the day or the wedding were also great!! The food was very good- especially the late night pizza! Overall, I am happy we chose to get married here but want to warn other brides about the booking coordinator. Be cautious if you plan to get married here that she can be difficult but it is worth pushing through!! Reviewed on 01-04-2023
Catherine Winters(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 16-10-2022 We got married at Breaktime Bowl and Bar, another venue operated by Hope Events on Main in Hope Artiste Village. This vintage bowling alley was perfect for both our ceremony and reception. The space is unique and already has plenty of character, so we didn't need to spend a lot of time thinking about how to decorate the space to be ours. In addition to providing a beautiful location for us, it also came with duckpin bowling as a reception activity with human pinsetters. Our guests loved being able to bowl as part of our reception. Allie, the event coordinator we worked with, was great from our first interaction. She answered all of our questions in a timely fashion and was on hand during our wedding. The rest of the staff, from the bartender to the pinsetters, were wonderful and clearly wanted us and our guests to have a great time. As part of using this venue, catering and the bar were in-house services. The food, drinks, and service for all were great.The only thing I wish we had done differently with the venue is booked it for a longer event! Reviewed on 03-12-2022
Ivy Maiorino(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 09-04-2022 The entire staff was so amazing! They really made our experience exactly how we had imagined. We wanted a relaxed, but fun, space that was good for a small guest list. We had to change the date twice, they made what could have been a very stressful process so easy. The space also made for some very good pictures. (Photo credit for the picture to Danyel Deboise) Reviewed on 08-08-2022
Sara Holland(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 31-07-2021 We had a fabulous wedding here in July. Enjoyed every moment of it. The price was great, the staff was super helpful, and our guests just loved it. Only small things to plan ahead for is that buffet food takes a long time to serve, and it got a bit loud in there - but nothing we couldn't fix by asking the DJ to turn it down a bit. We couldn't have asked for a better place to get married. Reviewed on 02-01-2022
