    Marybeth S.
  • Your facility was perfect for the couple’s wedding shower that we held there.  We had more than enough tables, chairs & space.  We were able to have games & music – everyone had a great time!

    Deb S.
  • We rented the entire Jensen Center for our 50th wedding anniversary celebration.  The venue was perfect.  The larger Community Room had tables and chairs available to set up as we chose.  There was an excellent sound system to play our music during the party.  

    The spacious kitchen with its large refrigerator provided ample storage areas for refreshments.  The meal was catered by Ambrosia Pub & Gill of Amherst, which is located conveniently close to the venue.

    Having full access to the lobby and Activity Room also allowed guests a quieter, more private area to talk and a place for younger kids to rest.

    I would highly recommend this facility!

    Michele R.
