Tashua Knolls Banquets - Trumbull, Connecticut

Sara T.

Notice all the prior reviews are from 6+ years ago. This review is not to hurt the business of tashua knolls but rather to self-reflect on what their patrons are paying for versus the service and grounds they get. I wish we went in to visit in-person prior to putting a down payment because after our first meeting with Maria I knew this was not the place for us. We had an easier time planning our huge wedding than planning our event. They don’t work with you at all, and everything she said in our first meeting made us unexcited for celebrating our 2yo’s cancer remission (she didn’t even know what that was at first and said she doesn’t know anything about bat mitzvahs). Nothing to make it special besides headaches. This threw me for a loop because I wanted this to be the most special day for my daughter.

First off, not quite sure how they market their place as a wedding venue. There’s are HUGE rips all throughout the old carpet, HUGE chips all over the tiled dance floor, stained table clothes, hot pink tape still on their chairs from a different event, and you share the disgusting old bathroom with everyone else who is there. Uplighting is nice. The room is large to hold a lot of people. We had about 100 and it was starting to feel cozy so I couldn’t imagine up to 250. Ample parking which is nice.

The problem is the overall management. We had some confusing emails back and forth but we ended up staying with our first menu which included 30 plates of chicken tenders and fries for the kids (it’s a kid’s party). I looked back at my email and specifically said this. Night of, dinner was over 30 minutes late and NO KIDS PLATES. The kitchen staff were pissed and it wasn’t even our fault! We went back to confront Maria on this and not ONE “sorry” or “let’s figure this out” but just sat there AND BLAMED ME WHILE MY EVENT IS GOING ON. My husband told her to get UP and go figure it out! I cannot even fathom how this lady manages this place. I have nothing more to say because it’s not nice things.

The only reason why it even deserves one star is for the waitstaff. They were trying really hard throughout the night to make it a good night and management fell short. Shouldn’t a manager be leading the event and not stuck in her office? I’ve never been to a vendor like this so maybe going to others and seeking professional development would be helpful. Whoever owns this place, you should truly tidy up your management practices with the staff who you choose to be the face of your business. I would not recommend ever going here for an occasion.

Tashua hosted our wedding on 7/7/18 & knocked it out of the park! The room was set perfectly, everyone loved the food, & the staff was very friendly & constantly made sure we had what we needed. Danielle was awesome to work with & very accommodating. The prices for the packages were great as well. Lots of extras were included (the cake, photo booth, ice sculpture, etc). The outdoor area was awesome for cocktail hour as well. Thank you to the entire staff at Tashua, you made our wedding day incredible!

I was married here this past Sunday, May 22nd, 2016! Everything was magnificent! Danielle is amazing, and Dominick is probably one of the best people I have ever met! Everyone is so organized and down to earth! Everything was above and beyond my wildest dreams! I am so happy I was able to have my wedding at Tashua Knolls and would recommend this venue to ANYONE and everyone! We'll definitely be keeping our business in the Faustini family forever! We were treated like family. My wedding was absolutely perfect. I feel so blessed!

I took the time to write a concise, but still a bit lengthy review because they truly deserve the attention and recognition.

Event: First Birthday Party.

The Service:
If and when you decide to check this place out, you know you are dealing with professionals the moment you meet with Dominick. My wife and I did not feel rushed at all (unlike some other places we visited). Dominick took his time to explain the process as well as take in all of the questions. He worked with us in every detail, from setting up the tables, to picking out table colors, and every little detail. During the event Staff was magnificent. Polite, responsive, and accommodating. The same can be said for the bartender.

The food:
Dominick is also the chef that cooked all of the food. There was not one dish or side that was not consumed during the party. The portions were very good and there was plenty of food served in the tables. Responses received from the guests have been very positive and not much left to criticize.

The price: Compared to other places, very competitive prices. An out the door price was provided right on the first visit based on the expected number of customers. No added fees, no gimmicks, no extra unnecessary changes. No other place we visited did this.

The Venue: look up pictures online, but they don't do it justice. Just take a trip and check it out. You will fall in love with the big windows and the floor plan of this place.

Recommend: I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone. The experience was absolutely amazing beginning to end and the party was a huge success.

Tashua Knolls - keep up the great work. I am looking forward to the next party/visit.

Granted I only visit before or during golf rounds but they are typically slow. I was waiting to order before finishing my second 9 and the bartender just walked away after serving the customer before me. If you want drinks or food while golfing I suggest bringing your own. The egg sandwiches for early morning golf are the only thing that gets this a 2 star.
