Halo Parties was the best party venue and location for our daughter’s high school graduation party! Sal was most accommodating! The DJ he provided listened to our music requests and even kept the party going with great vibes and family friendly fun! We were able to cater our own food selections and bar options. The staff was very helpful and we were able decorate perfectly! For friends and out of town family, halo was the best size and aesthetically appealing for our guests!

We had an amazing time celebrating my son’s College Graduation party at Halo Private parties.Sal was great to work with from the first meeting until day of party. He was very thorough, and accommodating.The room in itself is a fabulous setting. You really feel like you’re walking into a full service bar/lounge.The sounds system and strobe/colored lighting gave a club feel. Just what we wanted. Bathroom was clean.I love that Sal gives you the option to use his staff/vendors or to bring in your outside vendors. We chose to use his staff. Julio was our manager, and was there early to greet us an hour and a half before the party started, to set up. He was patient with all of my questions and direction. He assisted us with decorating, made sure all of the TVs had the sports channels on that we wanted, and make sure all of the beverages that we brought were immediately put on ice. He did all of this while prepping the food, which we chose through Halo. The food was delicious and plentiful. Our bartender Sasha and her assistant Kiara were professional. Kept the bar clean and attended to every guest quickly, patiently and with a smile.Overall, we were very happy. My son, his friends and our family had an amazing time and I would definitely rent this space again for future parties.

Awesome experience! It was my niece’s birthday party plus dedication to mom and grandpa and grandma!!!🥰🥰🥰🥰

Manuel Cerda

My fiancé and I had a co-birthday bash at Halo. We along with our guest had a wonderful time. The process from reserving the location, getting our questions answered, the time Sal took to make sure our event met our expectations was truly professional. If you want a space that has a good vibe for a celebration, this is the place to be. Thank you very much, Sal.

I hosted my husband’s surprise 40th birthday party at Halo Lounge, and I can't say enough about how incredible the entire experience was! From start to finish, everything was seamless, stress-free, and exceeded all expectations.Sal, the owner, was an absolute pleasure to work with—very responsive, friendly, truly accommodating, and so easy to work with. From our first meeting, he walked me through every detail, making the planning process effortless. He stayed in touch throughout, answered all my questions, and ensured everything was set up exactly as I envisioned.The venue itself is next-level! It has a cool nightclub vibe (can easily transform the space to fit your event type), with a state-of-the-art sound system, an incredible light show, and a massive 32-foot bar that was a huge hit with our guests. The flexible seating and table setups let us customize the space exactly how we desired. Super easy parking.What really sets Halo apart is how much they offer to simplify event planning. We booked their Starlite DJ, and he was phenomenal—playing all our favorite songs while seamlessly mixing in his own picks to match the crowd’s energy. He kept the vibe high all night and was amazing on the mic! They also offer catering services, backdrops, photo booths, décor add-ons, and much more, making the entire process so much easier!And let’s talk about the Halo team—absolutely amazing! Our two bartenders were pros, serving up fantastic drinks and handling our crowd of 60 effortlessly. Huge shoutout to Julio—the true MVP of the night! From setup to the very end, he made sure everything ran smoothly, handled any requests with patience and a positive attitude, and went above and beyond to help. Julio, you are the best!My husband had an unforgettable night, and our guests haven’t stopped raving about how fun the party was and how unique the venue is. If you’re looking for the perfect place to host an incredible event, Halo Lounge is the place! We will definitely be hosting future events at Halo and recommending it to our friends and family. Highly, highly recommend! Thank you, Sal! 🎉

Went to 50th birthday party at this location. The place is the right size for 100 guest. It's cozy and has the right party ambience, the DJ was good but the sound system needs to be upgraded and parking is an adventure.

Cara Maria

Halo Lounge is amazing!! My brother and I threw our parents a surprise 30th anniversary party here and it was just the perfect place. The owner Sal was so helpful for every step of the way and made our dream party a reality. I highly recommend him and the venue!!

Gustavo Montero

Good place for private events

I had my 50th birthday party at Halo in November. I had the time of my life!!! It's a fantastic space! You can decorate and set it up however you want. I had 70 guests and it fit everyone really well. Julio, the manager, was magic. He really organized the flow of my party from start to finish. He helped with displaying my pictures in a slideshow format on all the TVs. I didn't have to worry or think about anything the entire night thanks to Julio. And Jozay, the DJ, was pure talent. I asked for all 80s music and he delivered. My friends were loving the song selections and there were always people dancing! It was non-stop fun. Also, the lighting is incredible with the music thanks to Jozay! And Megan, the bartender, made me a signature drink for the night that I loved! She was friendly and wonderful. For the food I chose appetizers this way guests can do more mingling and dancing. But there are enough tables for everyone to sit down and still a big enough space to dance. And Sal was great to work with pre-party answering all my questions and suggesting an outstanding bakery that my friends are still talking about! During my party, friends kept mentioning to me how much they loved the venue. They said it was like having your own nightclub for the night. It was really an evening I did not want to end. A real dream come true! Thank you, Halo!

Lucia Guerra

What an amazing location to have a party! Not only was the space fantastic, but the owner went above and beyond to help with every aspect of the event. He even recommended some top-notch vendors who worked seamlessly with me, making the whole experience stress-free. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was incredible, and everything came together perfectly. We’ll definitely book here again. Highly recommend! Thank you for making our party so memorable!

stephanie o

This place is amazing! Sal was great and answered all of our questions along the way. He made us feel very comfortable from the beginning. I love the flexibility this venue offers! I am so glad we went with their catering because the food was delicious!! The dj played everything we wanted, the bartender was the best and the manager that night was very helpful. All of my guests loved it. I highly recommend this venue!

Smita Macuga

We had a spectacular time with our friends and family celebrating in your amazing space! When our guests walked in they were so pumped up and also surprised at how fabulous the place is! The manager was fantastic helping set everything and knew exactly what was next (I didn’t have to think much and got to enjoy) our bartender was a boss and made sure everyone was served. And the man of the night was the DJ! OMG he really made everyone in the room feel happy with the tunes he played, he felt the room and rolled with it!! I complimented him multiple times myself and the guests were all impressed by his DJ skills/music choices for us.I’m sooo glad that I booked my husband’s 40th at Halo Lounge! Every single person that that left that door said that it was one of the best parties! The best part is you have all the services available! And they ALL rock! Thank you!!

Tiffany Cryan

Great customer service!! The owner is very attentive and easy to communicate with! Realistic prices and the staff provided for the event were very professional! 10/10 recommend and we will definitely be back!

Marta DeCandia

We had a blast at our daughter’s Sweet 16 party! Sal, the owner, is a great guy and very accommodating. The staff was fabulous also from the DJ, to the photographer, and manager who was there to help the entire night. Best night ever! Thank you Sal!

Michelle Giraldo- Gomez

I have nothing but good things to say about Halo! We had a surprise 60th birthday here and Sal was super helpful and answered all of the questions I had leading up to the event. He was there the day off to ensure everything was set up and we had no issues. We catered food thru them as well and it was delicious! Julio the manager was attentive and made sure everything remined clean and presentable and kept everything running smoothly all night. Everyone had a blast and we will definitely be back for future celebrations!

Nesh

I had my son’s surprise 30th birthday here. Sal was the best! We used their catering services and the food was delicious! The guy who helped us that night was awesome, super helpful, wouldn’t let us do anything. The dj they provided was great! My son had “the best birthday ever” as quoted by him. Money well spent. Thank you Sal!

Armida Moultrie

This is a perfect spot for any event. I had my husband’s 50 th birthday surprise there and it was amazing! Everything was such a breeze from reaching out to the owner Sal to see and book the place to the day of the party. The staff was amazing and words cannot express how great this was. Family members all expressed that they loved the place and would definitely recommend or have their venue there! We had about 43 ppl and there was more than enough room for tables and dancing.

Rossana Lema Chirichigno

Buen local para realizar eventos. La atención del personal es muy cordial. Cuentan con un buen equipo de música.

Deborah Pawlowski

Had my 50th here. So many great things to say about this place. Perfect size, incredibly professional, clean and spacious. We all had a wonderful time. I will definitely book for future events. Do not hesitate! Service was on point!

Leanne Aciz Stanton

I cannot recommend Halo Lounge enough. Sal was an absolute dream to work with. From the day we signed the contract until the day of my event, he was available for any questions I had — and I had many! The day that I paid my balance, he advised I purchase an adapter to ensure that my laptop would connect to his TV for the slideshow, and to come in a few days ahead so that we didn’t run into any issues on the day of the event. I wrongly assumed it would be fine, and he told me to come in and try it out anyway. Thank God I did because it didn’t work! (He even FaceTimed a friend to walk me through it!) The next day, he went in on his day off so we could try something else — Airplay worked! — which I really, really appreciated.The spot itself is incredible, and provided a great atmosphere for my party. I decorated according to my theme, but the room itself is nice enough to just roll in and host a party. Between the bar, the VIP lounge, the lobby (where the Photo Booth was) and the overall room, it was the perfect space for my 70 guests. I had so many guests tell me they were glad I had my event there so they could keep it in mind for their future events.I also want to give a huge shoutout to Joey, who oversaw my event last night. He was so helpful all night, assisting in setting up, cutting the cake and cleaning up.Highly recommend Halo for your next big event!

Theresa Hetzel

I had my teacher of the year party here and it was AMAZING! All the staff were so sweet. Great food & music. My guests and I had a blast! Will definitely be having more parties here in the future.

Karen Trindle

I had my 40th at Halo and it was truly a perfect night. The staff did an amazing job, especially Julio the manager, Jozay the DJ, Trey the photographer, and Sasha the bartender. All of my friends has a great time! I wish I could do it all over again!

Nice place

Angie Shaw-Crockett

What an AMAZING time! My daughter's Sweet "13" party was more than I could have ever imagined. The service and the food was 5 STARS. Our Motivator, Rob, along with DJ kept those kids moving and so engaged. The energy was through the roof. Sal, thank you for an awesome experience from start to finish. This milestone is one that we'll never forget.

Meaghan Kelvy

This venue was absolutely outstanding for my sister's surprise party! Sal (owner) was nothing short of kind, thorough and spectacular. Planning up to the event, he made himself available through call, text and email. The day of, we were blown away by the staff service, the manager's kindness and the great food. Overall 100% perfect day! We were very impressed and would recommend to anyone.

Gerard Sperduto

This is the second family party that we had here and everything was great and the service was very good and helpful. The food was delicious and since I had to leave early the gentleman was able to let me get a to-go bag and the lady behind the bar was attentive and pleasant behind the bar! Thanks so much for a wonderful time and I'm sure we'll have another party soon! Gerard

Lindsey Brandt

Had a surprise 80s party here, had a wonderful experience. Throughout the process the manager and staff were very communicative and helpful, the venue is the perfect size for a group of 50, and the food was actually really delicious. The disco ball, tv connection, aux connect and laser lights were a hugeeee plus. Could not recommend this place more!

Ethereal Energy

While the venue is a bit on the smaller side, the features definitely make up for it. Booked 5 months in advance and Sal was really professional/welcoming. I had a party of 50 people and they fit comfortably... I'm not sure how 100+ have fit. But I guess they make it work. On the day of the party staff was helpful and attentive. Would definitely book again!!Also realized I didn't take many pictures of the actual space the day of.

Jodi Lyn Bernet

Had my daughter’s Sweet 16 at Halo on April 14! It’s hard to impress teens that age but they had a BLAST! Was the perfect atmosphere for her Roaring 20’s Speakeasy theme!! Got so many compliments on the venue, Halo manager Julio, the photographer and more importantly the DJ! He was amazing!! The kids were raving about him! He was high energy and kept them on the dance floor all night! Sal - I can’t thank you enough for everything!

Safet Mackic

Just celebrated another family 50th birthday party celebration at the Halo lounge. If you haven't already checked out this awesome spot you really need to. It is the perfect venue for a party. The place is spacious, clean, and nicely decorated. Gives off a cool vibe all around. The staff for this party went above and beyond they took excellent care of us. Julio was our go to guy and Meg was behind the bar. They always checked on us to make sure we were good and that our guests were happy as well. The DJ was excellent he played a large variety of dance songs as well as worked off a request list we provided for the evening. Whenever we think of having a large get together with family and friends the Halo always comes to mind. Every experience we've ever had there has been spectacular. Sal the owner is always a pleasure to work with. He works with you, provide suggestions to ensure that your party is always a huge success!!!

Nicole Adams

Very grateful to Sal for working with me to plan an amazing Baby Shower for my sister. The food we ordered was great, we were also allowed to use an outside vendor as well. The decorating team came in ahead of time with the owner's permission to see the best way to configure everything. Sal was so accommodating and I would like to extend my sincerest appreciation to the manager on duty Julio. OMG!!! He was so professional, attentive and personable. He made sure that I was happy with everything and I can't say enough about the impeccable service!!! Sal gives you alot of options which was very much appreciated!

Thus far I have had 2 events at Halo (and planning more)! Sal and his team are AWESOME. They are very accommodating and helpful with any questions you may have. The venue is a great space and offers a lounge vibe for all events. Full bar, DJ sound system, and dance floor to bust all your moves! I would recommend Halo to anyone. I love hosting my events there.
