“I’ve worked at so many beautiful reception venues, so it was difficult to choose among them. While scouting locations for a client I found the Gershon Fox Ballroom at The Marquee and immediately fell in love with its Art Deco style. Plus, the layout allowed for cocktails, dinner, and dancing to be held in a separate rooms!” ~ Brides.com
