What customers said about private event planning
SYNX EVENTSSynx Events and its Event Staff allowed us to have the best experience celebrating my husbands birthday party and gender reveal. We booked a year in advance and owner was always there to answer any questions we had over venue, allowed us to schedule a walk through before event and was very easy going on actual day…
SYNX EVENTSAnany and his team were great to work with! He coordinated all of our vendors, managed every detail behind the scenes, and made sure everything ran smoothly on our wedding day. We felt completely taken care of and were able to truly enjoy every moment. We’re so grateful for everything he did to make our wedding day so special!
SYNX EVENTSWe worked with Anany for our pre-wedding events (October 2025). He was wonderful to work with! Allowed us to look around at all their decor options, sat with us to brainstorm ideas and was flexible with our schedule! Delivery, set up, etc was a seamless process as well! Would highly recommend him and his team!
SYNX EVENTSGood place for large events. Nicely decorated grounds. Some years ago we attended an event here on the inside but not this time, so I can't say what it looks like inside.
