Stunning Venue, Perfect Staff, Mic Issues

What a beautiful venue for a wedding, the staff was exceptional all evening. Only review for future brides...better mic set up is required. Very few of my guests could hear any of the speeches and made it tough to feel together on the second floor. Food was amazing and again their staff was spot on!

Charbar Wedding Venue Review

My husband and I used Charbar as our reception/dinner venue for our wedding in August 2022. Besides a few hiccups, which are to be expected, we had a great experience with them! The food was amazing and all of our guests had nothing but amazing things to say about it! The venue is a beautiful spot, and minimal decor was needed. The bar staff that we had the night of were great and made sure we were taken care of.

A Tale of Resilience: Wedding Venue Review

Attended a wedding here last night as a guest. With events outside of anyone's control they were thrown so many challenges that could have ruined the event (Roof top wedding had to moved inside mid ceremony due to hail. Once relocated inside and re-commence the ceremony - the fire alarms go off in the restaurant below and we had to evacuate!) The wedding made for a great story - and was still one of the most fun weddings I've ever attended. That aside.
