The Coliseum was a beautiful venue with plenty of space. The Coliseum's staff was very helpful in navigating planning a large wedding reception during a pandemic. The food was great and was what we remembered when we did the taste testing six m...

If you are looking for a place to have your wedding or reception I would highly recommend using the Memorial Coliseum. The staff is great and they were very in tuned with my needs and went over and above to accommodate us. I worked closely wit...
h the Nathan Dennison and Brett Aschliman and they were phenomenal. My wedding took place during the Covid-19 pandemic and they were exceptional in making sure that everyone stayed save and still had a great time. They kept me in the loop of all the changes that needed to be made due to certain restrictions as they came up, they also had a solution for whatever issues that came about. Hands down I wouldn't have wanted to have my wedding/reception anywhere else. They were awesome from start to finish. The food was delicious and the servers were great. My special day could not have gone any better.

Our wedding was affected by COVID-19 and so due to the size of the room that we chose for the reception at the Memorial Coliseum we had to choose another room. In the meantime of finding this all out, we had heard from the church that they had...
strict limitations on everything as well! So when we talked to the Coliseum about the reception room, we threw in another idea of using the Arena for both wedding and reception. They did some checking and made it happen. The Coliseum could not have been any better about helping us and working with us on our wedding/reception. If it weren't for the Coliseum being there for us, I honestly don't know what we would have done. Brett and Nathan were absolutely fantastic to work with and can not say enough good about them and the Coliseum. Also, making the goal horn happen during our first kiss as husband and wife was amazing and a fantastic surprise for my husband! The Memorial Coliseum outdid themselves on our reception and wedding and our wedding is something we will never forget and will be telling our grandkids when we are old.

I used this venue, as they offer a rooftop lounge, that has a patio attached. I didn't want my guests to have to leave the party to smoke. What they didn't reveal until after the contract was signed, and they were paid, is that there was addit...
ional charges for my guests to park. In addition the security that I requested had to be in full uniform, after they told me it was up to the officer's boss. I was then told it was their policy, which was nowhere in their contract. Also the food I paid for was not the food I received at the reception. Overall, their service, was OK, but I would not use them again...
