Super easy venue to work with. They were the most affordable and flexible venue we could find. Able to get in on Friday for an extra fee. Because the pandemic delayed us, Cindy was really great about letting us back in to get measurements and stuff. Our private bar is on site and we had a very inexperienced bartender which kind of sucked, but everything else was awesome.

Events Center West is truly a hidden gem! The price was amazing and Cindy was just great. The venue was big enough for our 250 guest list for both the ceremony and reception. It is attached to a bar which was nice as we were able to us their liquor license. We were able to bring in a caterer of our choice which also helped to keep costs low. I can't tell you how much I appreciates our venue. We had to reschedule due to COVID19 but when the actual event happened it went off without a hitch!

This was a GREAT venue for our wedding! We had our ceremony and reception at Event Center West, sending our guests next door to The Last Laugh for cocktail hour. The tiered levels are perfect for giving everyone a clear view of the couple and dance floor, and the projection screen is GREAT for displaying slideshows/pictures during the ceremony or reception. Cindy was easy to work with, and the contract is really clear on what is allowed and what's not allowed (no glitter allowed!) and the price was good as well. We paid $1,500 for the rental, plus another $400 to get the venue the Friday before the wedding and for a cleaning crew so we wouldn't need to vacuum, etc. I would highly recommend this venue for a wedding! We put lights on the railings and the whole venue looked romantic and perfect!

The Events Center was a great venue for our wedding reception. We had about 200 guests and they fit very comfortably in the space with plenty of space for dancing and buffet tables, snack tables and guestbook table. Definitely worth checking out- very unique!

Cindy was great to work with. The venue is great for small or big parties (max 400-ish people). Recently re-done everything is so nice, especially the bathrooms. We only had the reception there but the setup is wonderful. With the seating being tiered, everyone can see the bride and groom at all times and the dance floor. We decorated the day before, but that is not guaranteed. The only downfall is taking down the decorations that night. They have a cleaning crew that you can pay to clean. They provide their bartender, and as long as their security is there, you don't have to buy a seperate insurance policy.
