Great experience with The Varsity

Highly recommend the Varsity for a wedding reception. The venue was responsive and reasonably priced. The execution on the actual day was top-notch. All food, drinks, furniture, and setup details were just as ordered and discussed. The event was staffed well with friendly faces. Event went off without a hitch
