Avalon Events Center

he pasta buffet and everyone loved it! The Millennium ballroom is very gorgeous by itself and we did minimal decorations because that is the type of people my spouse and I are. They set up the room just like we wanted, along with putting decorated trees in there. The staff was wonderful to work with all night. After touring other large venues in the area, the price at the Avalon is cheaper yet you still get a wonderful event. Overall, we were very satisfied and will recommend the Avalon event center to anyone who is looking for a wedding venue.

NA) to be placed on the head table and this must have been forgotten - but it ended up being taken care of. Both Vivian and Jess were great to work with and saw our vision through. Thank you!

had 2 bars set up and I had warned them about making sure to have enough stocked and bartenders for the amount of guests we had invited, but they still ran out of a couple things. For large weddings, I would recommend to have more bartenders and ensure an accurate amount of supplies stocked but overall they did a good job. I was a little nervous when we had a couple changes in wedding coordinators, one being less than a month before our wedding, and an almost last minute booking in our room the night before the wedding but Leah put my mind at ease and really worked well with me to make sure our day was perfect. She answered all of my last minute questions and requests without a complaint. You can tell she enjoys and is good at what she does. I would definitely recommend the Avalon for events in the future.

und when they did the small room change between ceremony and reception but I did not hear any complaints from guest so it must have gone smoothly. There was only a couple hiccups that occurred and both were from lack of communication but was not a surprise since in the little over a year we started to work with Avalon there is a lot of staff changes. The food taste testing is a good experience and the mixologist session was a blast. Our signature drinks was a hit! I would suggest the Avalon to anyone that would ask us were we went with the only recommending to work with them for a shorter span of time and to take the little mistake with a grain of salt since we are all human and nothing is perfect.

st time we stepped foot into the Avalon we were greeted with a champaign VIP tour that set the tone for our whole experience. Highly recommend this space to anyone who truly wants a dream wedding.

t everyone still got their food with no delays. Even with a little more than 200 guests, our food tasted amazing! The beef was perfectly cooked and juicy, chicken was tasty (yum that sauce), and even their vegetarian option was to die for (some of my friends have asked for the recipe). We left some stuff at the Avalon on accident and they were nice to hold it for us (even though it's been 3 weeks). Loved having the Avalon as our wedding venue! I would definitely recommend it to everyone!

in the shuttle to take us to the hotel after the reception. The staff had helped us with our booking from day one and always made us feel as though we were in good hands. Not only was the staff professional throughout the entire process but you can tell they truly care about you. Let’s face it getting married is great but some of the process of booking the venue, picking the menu, dj, photographer, and other things that come with planning a wedding can become overwhelming and frustrating! The staff at the Avalon took us through everything step by step and made everything as about as easy as it could get. During the wedding I tried to talk with most of my guests and talked with some even after the wedding and all I heard back from them was how great the food was and that the amount of food served was just incredible. Everything was quality from the soup/salad to the entrees was just out of this world! To go along with the stellar service, great food, and gorgeous venue my husband and I had the time of our lives that we will cherish forever, the price for everything was untouchable compared to any other venue we looked at and I don’t think they would have been nearly as good as the Avalon was. It’s really great to hear your guests talking about how amazing the wedding/reception was days after the actual wedding. If your looking for just an all around great place to have your wedding or reception at PLEASE look no further than the Avalon! I would recommend this place to any couples looking to plan their big day here. Thank you Avalon and thank you to the entire staff for giving us more than we could ever hope for!

y, efficient, and kind. I’m grateful for everyone that helped make our day perfect!

perience. The venue and grounds are beautiful for photos, and the rooms are absolutely stunning. Every guest echoed how amazing the food was and we cannot say enough about their amazing staff. Their professionalism, kindness and attention to detail is really something to be admired. I would like to extend a special thank you to all their staff who really helped to make our wedding day planning so wonderful and dare I say, effortless. Thank you so much for making our dream wedding come true!

ected! Thanks for making our day so perfect!

ts for the first dance. Our dj finally went and talked to them about it. But otherwise. Food was amazing. We did pasta bar and everyone raved about the mac and cheese which they just recently added to their menu. All in all a great day and awesome venue.

are were starting at zero. Despite that, the facility is beautiful, the food was great and service was excellent. Our reception and dance was a memorable time. The staff all worked well with us in our same-sex wedding. No real issues except for planning. Recommend.

ly, we no longer live in Fargo and were planning our wedding from Omaha. We were only able to make it a couple times for brief visits before the big day. It was also unfortunate that while planning from 6 hours away we dealt with 3 different wedding coordinators including the owner. We too got conflicting information and policies and calls about scheduling taste testings that had already been done by our parents, who drove 2 hours to attend. We had a personalized bar sign made for our event and I didn't realize it until it came back in the box the next day and thought about how many hours my bridesmaid/sister-in-law put into it, only to never be seen. The wedding reception went well but I didn't see or hear from the current wedding coordinator that was on duty that night until 11pm when I was walking to the public bathroom in the hallway. However, our vendors were fabulous and our dj kept our special night moving right along seamlessly.

evening and people are still raving about it! Anytime I had a question about the wedding, the staff was prompt to respond to any email or call I made to them. IT FELT LIKE I WAS THEIR TOP PRIORITY! They made any and all requests I had happen to ensure that all stress and responsibility was alleviated from me on the of the wedding. I cannot say enough wonderful things about this venue! Book it for your wedding! You won't be disappointed!

g that was frustrating was that they had 4 different people in the role of events/wedding coordinator in the 10 months that we were booked with them. So we had to repeat ourselves a lot and were told that we could do different things with different people. Just make sure to get everything in writing from them.

em communicated with one another. Every time we thought things were going well, another bomb dropped. I received a phone call the 2nd Monday before my wedding. My husband called back and made an appointment to meet, to iron everything out. I then got another phone call that night, at 8:16. I didn't call back because I knew we had an appointment for the next day. I was called 3 times in 24 hours to set up a taste test after we had told them that we already had one. The Monday after the wedding, they called. They demanded I call back immediately. I was on my honeymoon and didn't want to deal with them, so I called my mom and asked her to give them a call. My dad stopped by because a couple of their mirrors ended up in our totes when we cleaned up. When he dropped them off, he let them know that I was on my honeymoon and would not return their calls. I was called 3 more times, by 3 different people. No one over there communicates. They lost my invoice, and when they found it, it was wrong. Very wrong. Wrong room, wrong head count, wrong count for champagne bottles, wrong head table count. When the aisle was set up, it was set up too narrow. Waaaay too narrow. I couldn't fit down the aisle in my gown. My family had to widen the aisles. I'm a small girl, but a big dress. I let them know ahead of time that that would be an issue. She was not receptive to anything I told them. At all. They would rather you give them a head count and a color for napkins and let them decide everything else for you. We were treated like bags of money, not like people. If you are already booked with them, get everything in writing. If you have a face to face or a phone call, summarize the meeting and email it to them, Keep bugging them until they confirm that's what was agreed to.
