Ahern Catering

This used to be the Irish Heritage Center but was bought by Ahern's and renovated. The top priorities for me when choosing a wedding reception site were: 1) convenient location for my guests, 2) classy, comfortable space, 3) really good food (it's really a glorified DINNER party, isn't it?!?), and 4) competent staff. Ahern's is all of these things and they made our reception this past February truly fantastic.Lucy is the no-nonesense, very capable manager. She essentially served as our personal party planner before and during the event and took care of everything, communicating with the other vendors (DJ, photographer, florist, etc.) and making sure the party continued to progress so we could just sit back and enjoy our guests. Aherns is their own caterer and can do either a sit-down meal or buffet (or cocktail reception) with almost endless entree options. We went with the buffet and an open bar so guests could enjoy as much or little as they wanted and it worked perfectly. I think we were pretty low key but did have a few special requests and they were professionally executed by the staff.There are two banquet halls of different sizes but they have separate entrances and bathrooms and a service hallway runs between them so you wouldn't even notice if another event was happening during yours. The halls are already very elegant so we didn't spend any money on decorating other than flower centerpieces but the space could certainly accommodate any over-the-top additions you might want.

Lucy is the best! She is on top of things at all times. The ceremony was absolutely beautiful. It's set back, quiet and peaceful. The reception hall was perfect. Kept it cool the entire night, plenty of space for guests, friendly staff, and the food was SO good. It's hard to find good catered wedding food. From the veggie and potato to the chicken beef, there was not a single complaint.Lucy supervised and helped out all night. She's amazing and I'm so appreciative of her help to make my wedding amazing!

My wife and I just had our wedding here this past weekend and the venue was phenomenal! Lucy is great to deal with and we could not thank her enough for making our special day go off without a hitch. The food is amazing!! We had the red pepper pasta, bacon green beans, red skin garlic mashed potatoes, roast beef, and bourbon chicken. I don't eat left overs normally but it is all good and I find myself still digging into it. You will not be disappointed by this venue and we highly recommend it!!!

We loved Ahern! We used them to cater our July wedding at St Clarence Pavilion (perfect mix of indoor/ outdoor space!). The food was delicious. We are still getting compliments on it at family gatherings. We did had appetizers, buffet and dessert bar. The food was endless!! No one was hungry at any point at our wedding. It was above and beyond what we expected! Lucy was always on top of things and very helpful throughout. Recommended!!

We had our wedding here. It was beautiful and a great success. Lucy was amazing at helping with everything.... and the food was unbelievable! I'm so glad we chose this as our location.
