Jenna, the wedding coordinator for Eagle Lake Convention Center, is absolutely the best! She is easy to reach, quick to reply, and always is friendly and helpful. In fact, she came...

up with several arrangement ideas to help me with the design of the room. It was affordable and if you want to have a beautiful and affordable place to hold your reception this is the place to go!
