Absolutely an amazing experience!!!


I could not thank the Mambo Room more. My next event will be here for sure. The staff was absolutely incredible. They made our special day peaceful, easy and go off without an issue insight. The price for everything was very reasonable after looking at other venues that charge you extra to bring in things like the chiavari chairs and drapery. At the last minute we didn't have flowers and The Mambo Room was able to get our flowers without any issues. We had a great time and had zero worries the day of the wedding. Mind you all of this was during COVID. I highly recommend this place and am excited for our next event there!

Amazing They Are!!!

From start to finish it was amazing!! We decided to get married in 90 days. A change from the original plans and they were still phenomenal!! Everything they said they would do, they did. They stayed in contact with me and my husband. They coordinated with my wedding planner to a t!! The atmosphere was as if they were a part of the family. They filled in all the blanks. I don't ever plan on getting married again, but if I ever need an event hall, I will use the Mambo Room. The evening was magical, and the music...WOW!!

Last Minute Coordinator, Decorator, Director

Coming into the planning phase of a wedding two weeks prior to the wedding date is beyond stressful but Kianda and her crew made it completely possible. She was extremely professional. She had to merge before covid contracts to the stipulations of our state's and city's guidelines. Where there were gaps, she not only shined light on them but went out of her way to seal ever gap from planning to decorating. She made my Daughter-in-Love wedding dreams come true. Noone knew the journey in which two weeks took us when they walked in and danced the night away. It was stunning!!!!! Thank you Kianda, our bartender, and Mambo Room for the wedding my son deserved and he and his WIFE will use as the New Beginning of their lives together.
