I just had my second wedding at Encore Event Center, and I honestly can’t believe how different this experience was from my first one.
For my first wedding, I got married at a beau...
tiful winery and decided to do everything myself—booking all the vendors, juggling dozens of invoices, chasing deposits, and constantly worrying about timelines. It was incredibly stressful, even in such a lovely setting. No wonder there are so many bridezillas out there! I was running around like a crazy person right up until the big day.
This time around, Encore Event Center made the entire process feel effortless. Everything was handled for me in one all-inclusive package. I still got to choose absolutely everything I wanted—flowers, menu, décor, music, lighting—you name it—but I didn’t have to coordinate with ten different companies or keep track of multiple payments. It was just one simple monthly payment, and all the stress melted away.
I genuinely wish I had chosen an all-inclusive venue like Encore for my first wedding at the winery. It would have saved me so much time, money, and sanity. If you’re planning a wedding (or a vow renewal like me), do yourself a huge favor and book Encore Event Center. They turned what could have been another stressful whirlwind into the beautiful, relaxed celebration I always dreamed of.
Highly recommend—10/10!

We got married at the Sunset Lounge inside Encore Event Center and I’m still not over it. Our ceremony was absolutely perfect — the setup, the lighting, the atmosphere… everything ...
felt so romantic and special. We had 100 guests and somehow the space felt both intimate and lively at the same time.
The LED tree in the middle is seriously magical. It completely transforms the room and makes it feel so unique and modern. It glows beautifully and made the best backdrop for our ceremony and photos. Everyone was obsessed with it and we got the most insane pictures.
We also had a 5-hour open bar, full catering, tables, chairs, linens, DJ, photobooth, and custom lighting — and paid just shy of $12,000 for EVERYTHING. The value is actually unbelievable for what you get. It felt like a luxury wedding without the crazy luxury price tag.
Everything ran smoothly, the vibe was immaculate, and our guests are still talking about how fun and beautiful it was. If you’re looking for a wedding venue that’s stunning, fun, and genuinely worth every dollar, this is it. Absolute 10/10.

We recently hosted our event at the Grand Ballroom and Courtyard at Encore Event Center, and it was absolutely breathtaking from start to finish.
The Grand Ballroom is simply stun...
ning, spacious, elegant, and beautifully designed. The high ceilings, gorgeous lighting, and sophisticated finishes create such a luxurious atmosphere. It feels grand without losing warmth, and it photographs beautifully. Our guests couldn’t stop complimenting the space all night.
The Courtyard is just as impressive. It adds the perfect indoor-outdoor balance, with such a romantic and upscale feel. Whether for cocktail hour or simply giving guests space to mingle under the open sky, it elevates the entire experience. The transition between the Ballroom and Courtyard flows seamlessly, making the whole venue feel expansive and thoughtfully designed.
Encore Event Center truly offers one of the most impressive event spaces around. If you’re looking for a venue that feels high-end, versatile, and unforgettable, the Grand Ballroom and Courtyard are second to none.

cannot recommend Peter Charles at Encore Event Center highly enough. From the very first conversation, Peter was professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about making ...
our event perfect. He went above and beyond at every stage -answering every question, offering thoughtful suggestions, and making the entire planning process feel effortless.
What truly sets Peter apart is his attention to detail and his ability to anticipate needs before you even realize them. He made us feel like a priority the entire time, and his calm, confident approach took so much stress off our shoulders. Every promise was delivered on, and the execution on the day was flawless.
Encore Event Center is an incredible venue, but Peter is the reason it shines. If you're considering booking an event here, do yourself a favor and work with him - you will be in the best possible hands.
