Our recent event with the Upper Darby Class of '81 for their 25th reunion was extremely successful and so much fun that they said "see you in 5 years!" Take a look at our website and click on The Austin Room link for menu options and on the Photo Gallery for pictures of the room. We can not only provide the food and service staff but help with the DJ, centerpieces and bar beverages. We are easy to get to off I-95 and 20 minutes from most parts of Delaware County and very accessible to the airport.
