Tarisse Turek
WOW! I organized a season ending banquet for my daughter’s theater group at Stage 119. The extremely sharp venue was tailored to accommodate over 250 people with plenty of room to spare! Jessie, the sound engineer, seamlessly navigated all of our A/V and sound needs. Jason, Amanda, Ivona and the ENTIRE staff efficiently served all of our guests at the bar, quickly replenished the taco bar and continually cleared all cups and plates from the tables. Anything we asked for, we received immediately, with smiles and friendly personalities. We were so satisfied with the overall service that we added $500 on top of the 20% tip already included for the fabulous crew! Teddy, one of the owners of this establishment, was my main point of contact throughout this process. He was ALWAYS available to answer my questions, ease my concerns and offer solutions for all of our demands, including honoring our tighter budget! Teddy knows everything about restaurants, food, entertaining and hospitality, and he was an absolute joy to work with. From tailoring a delicious and generous menu to fit our budget to making sure we had everything we needed for the entire duration of our party, Teddy clearly knows how to run a successful business. We are so satisfied with our experience at Stage 119 that we already booked it for our event next year! The venue is incomparable, the food is delicious and Teddy and his staff are TOP NOTCH!!!

It means so much to hear that Ted, Jessie, Jason, Amanda, Ivona, and our entire team helped make the evening such a success. Hosting a special event like this is something we take great pride in, so hearing that the venue, food, service, and overall experience exceeded your expectations really means the world to us. Ted will be especially touched by your words. He works hard to make every event feel seamless, welcoming, and customized to each guest’s needs. We are beyond grateful for your generosity and support, and we’re so excited that you’ve already booked with us again for next year. We cannot wait to welcome you back to Stage 119 for another amazing celebration.
