Beautiful venue. Delicious food!!!
I had a very disappointing experience with Jay’s White Elephant. The owner quoted my family $1,400 multiple times over the phone prior to our event, and several people clearly heard and confirmed that price.
However, after my brother’s Sweet 16, the total was suddenly increased to $2,200 with no clear explanation. When questioned, the owner denied ever agreeing to the original price, despite multiple witnesses and repeated conversations confirming it.
There were also several other inconsistencies leading up to the event. Initially, the owner told my mother that decoration would be handled and specifically instructed her not to bring anything like balloons. Closer to the event, that changed, and we were then told that no decorations would be provided at all.
What made the situation even more frustrating was that only about half of our expected guests attended, meaning less work and fewer resources were needed. Despite this, the price was still significantly increased.
My mother even attempted to pay in advance to avoid any confusion, but the owner declined at the time, only to later raise the price. The way this situation was handled caused significant stress and ultimately left my mother in tears and my brother very upset on what was supposed to be a special celebration.
I also want to add that during my brother’s Sweet 16 at Jay’s White Elephant, I spent most of the event helping my mom set everything up and didn’t even get a chance to eat. When I finally made myself a plate, the owner repeatedly tried to take it away despite me telling her no multiple times.
She then told my mom she would wrap the plate so I could have it later, but the plate was taken and never returned. We were not given the food or leftovers that we paid for, which was extremely frustrating and unprofessional.
Based on this experience, I cannot recommend this venue and would encourage others to look elsewhere.
Very nice buffet. Kudos to J's for not gouging us on the drinks. All mixed drinks were $5
I will never have an event there again , they weren't set up at time requested , They didn't have all the meat I requested and it also stated online with rolls not one roll present, Also a bowl of hot sauce next to salad dressing why people thought it was Catalina and put it on there salads ugh the one lady was very rude never again
