My wife Melaine and me couldn't be happier with our wedding at The Rotunda. The venue was stylish and clean with the a hint of classical architecture. The staff and crew from Chef Jacks were speedy and professional, working well with our baker and late night food provider. Overall great choice, would recommend to anyone.

Chef Jacks is hands down Amazing!!! Lisa, Eric, and the entire staff at Chef Jacks and The Rotunda are wonderful! Their customer service and communication is truly outstanding. We loved our entire wedding planning experience with them, and they made our perfect wedding day flow smoothly without any issues. Our wedding day was perfect! I could go on and on about how amazing they are and how beautiful the venue is...but you need to experience it for yourself! I promise you, you won’t be disappointed!
To everyone at Chef Jacks, thank you so much for everything! It was such a pleasure working with you all!

We went there to tour and setup a date for our wedding reception. It is very nice and the staff was very helpful. Will have more to report after the wedding.

The Rotunda was the first and only venue we looked at for our wedding on 10-06-18. It is absolutely gorgeous! The architecture is so beautiful. Our wedding was about 130 people and we didn't even set up tables on the 2nd floor for guests, so there is plenty of room for more guests. I primarily worked with Lisa in coordinating the event, and she was so sweet to put up with all of my questions and helping make my visions come to life. Everyone else at Chef Jack's is wonderful to work with as well. I highly recommend The Rotunda for any event!

Really beautiful on the inside. Great for smaller weddings up to no more than 150 people probably. Dance floor is at the end of the building right at the main doors. Nice large dance floor but hard to see from the pillars when sitting at the tables surrounding it. Used to be an old post office. If you care, the bathrooms are not very nice.

I highly recommend the Rotunda for weddings. We were constantly receiving comments on the food, the service and the venue. Regular comments were "best food ever at a wedding" "never seen Mediterranean food at a wedding and it was fantastic", "impeccable service" and so on! The organization and planning by the Rotunda staff is outstanding. There were unexpected services throughout: staff orchestrated timing for the processions, personal waiters for the bride and groom, specialty meals for dietary restrictions were served when the guests were ready to eat rather than at a set time etc, etc. We had stations so when people formed long lines initially the staff let them know there were other stations that it wasn't a standard buffet. No waiting in long lines or table release which the guests loved. One guest asked for medium rare on the sirloin carvery and was impressed that the chef just cut into the middle of the roast and gave him a melt in the mouth perfect med. rare slice! Guests loved being able to have the private outdoor space where they could take their drinks chat in a quieter area and most importantly cool off from all the dancing.
Not because this was my daughters wedding but this was seriously the best wedding I've ever experienced. Thank you Chef Jack, Eric, Lisa and the whole team of phenomenally professional staff!

We had our wedding ceremony and reception here. The food was incredible and the venue was even more beautiful in person than the pictures online. The staff was so accommodating and helpful throughout the whole process! We were so very impressed, they come highly recommended from us!
