Woodland Park American Legion
I had my small wedding at this location and my baby shower at this location (my sisters liked the surrounding area of the location).
The positives:
It's in a nice area in woodland park.
The event room is just the right size, especially for a 30 person wedding.
It's budget friendly.
The guy that showed us the location was friendly and answered all questions.
Things that can be worked on for a 5 star and better experience:
Reply to emails in an efficient and courteous manner. The event staff make it clear on their page that they have minimal communication in lieu of providing detailed emails. However, not only did I receive 2 different codes and needed clarification, which I requested as soon as I received the email because I was decorating for my wedding, we didn't receive the wifi code at all. Thank goodness the cleaning guy was there and was able to intercept to contact someone to provide the wifi code. No one ever replied to my email, not even after my wedding and previously I had communication with someone before booking my wedding, so the email is clearly monitored. As a very detailed person, I expect things to be done right the first time, so having to figure out which code is the right one as we all arrived to setup was not nice.
Overall:
It's a budget friendly space that you can decorate.

Paterson City Board of Health
On Wednesday, February 22nd, my husband and I went into the Vital Statistics Office to drop-off our marriage license to receive our marriage certificate, as we were instructed to when picking up the marriage license. The first lady who assisted us told us to complete the form that says we will be requesting/paying for the marriage certificates and let the office know that we are ready for the processing of the form. Well, when we go back into the office, the black lady looked at our marriage license and immediately slid our marriage license back to us, slapped all the papers together and said we need to go to Woodland Park. I asked for clarification. She was very agitated and not in the mood to do her job of providing customer service. I just wanted clarification as we filed our marriage application in Paterson. There needs to be mandatory customer service training for the employee in the Vital Statistics Office as I went to the Woodland Park office (which I googled while sitting in the lobby and if I had questions, I was certainly going to ask them without fear of being disrespected) and was provided with efficient, calm and logical customer service. I had to compliment the Woodland Park employee because the service at the Paterson office was such a stark contrast that it was disappointing.
