Really affordable venue, good space for up to 350 guests, and it can be really pretty for a wedding with some good decorations. The people were very friendly and easy to work with.
AMAZING venue for a wedding. Access to a lot of the facility and very clean. You have to set up and tear down on your own but you get the facility Friday, Saturday, AND Sunday! Loved working with the CPMI Event Center!
We had our son's wedding here in June of 2016. For the price it is nice that you get to rent it from Thursday-Sunday. However, it was an extremely hot day, and the air conditioning at the event center didn't keep up at all. This made for some uncomfortable guests. If it weren't for that, I would have given it 4 or 5 stars, but being hot isn't good! Our poor servers and caterers were even worse off being in the kitchen. I think if you have a venue that is being used in the summer, the air conditioning is an important thing. Might be time to update the system.
I would highly recommend CPMI to have a wedding reception. It was an amazing price and I was able to get in on Thursday to start decorating. I had it from Thursday - Sunday when I was done tearing down. Also they were very accomodating when the dance floor had to be picked up on Monday morning, and not Sunday. It's a great space and tables and chairs were included.
We were able to have our own caterer and decorate as we wished. We got the place Friday morning and didn't have to be cleaned up and out until Sunday.
Our wedding was perfect until our limo was involved in a accident. The last time I had seen CPMI was at 7 am that morning. I helped decorate it all minus the last details and the place was stunning. Very open, high ceilings, easy to access and plenty of room to move around and have a great celebration. Wish we could have actually celebrated in there but we were stuck in the hospital and our reception got canceled.
I loved the venue and it was very affordable! You could also have your own caterer and bartender, which was great. The only problem was a couple days before the wedding we got a call saying they never received our final payment, luckily I had saved the email from them saying they got it and all was fine. The hall was gorgeous and everyone talked about it all night!
