My Partner and I was the DJ’s for a wedding reception on 20 May this year. After settings up my partner stayed to play for the reception. While I can home to change for the occasion my van broke down. After the dance was over I informed the person in charge of my van situation and I wouldn’t be able to load my equipment that night. I informed them that I would be there to pick up my equipment as soon as they open up the following morning. We received a phone call about an hour after getting home. We were informed that my equipment couldn’t stay inside all night and it was put outside. I feel this was totally unnecessary. Things happens in life that’s unavoidable. My van breaking down was a good example . I feel the Event Central staff was very inconsiderate and heartless.

Very nice event place. Only thing the parking lot should have more light. You definitely need to know were you are going or you won't find the location.

I participated in a wedding recently at this venue. We started to notice issues AFTER the contract was signed; it became increasingly difficult to get responses to emails and phone calls. In the end, it was a lovely wedding, despite the deplorable conditions of the venue - that were significantly LESS than what we were sold. I had no direct interactions with the owner, Janet, but heard of several nasty comments she made to the wedding party, specifically the bride. It seems as if she has ZERO consideration for the fact that it's the participants in these events that provide her lively hood. Very shameful. As per the venue itself, the main rooms (the wedding room and the kitchen) were great! If they priced their services based SOLELY on these 2 rooms, while they would they have to charge LESS, it would be a better value to say the least. However, they price their venue based on FULL use of the facility, including an upper level containing dressing rooms and a full 'working' bathroom, including a shower. The stairs are very dangerous - if anyone has issues ambulating, avoid this venue at all costs, at least the upper level. There is NO guardrail for the top set of stairs. Once upstairs, there was no working AC and had the wedding party NOT furnished their OWN fans as they, by happenstance only, found out 2 days prior that the AC was out and had BEEN out for several weeks per an employee AT the venue, they would NOT have known to provide additional fans. The venue DID provide 2 working fans, which was completely inadequate to cool off all areas upstairs. Per other reviews on this site, the AC was known to be out as far back as 4 weeks ago, yet the replies consistently indicate "they didn't know" and that the parties were offered use of additional air conditioned spaces. Not only was this party only informed about the AC when they ASKED, they were NOT offered the use of any additional AC areas. Thank goodness it was not an overly humid day! The bathroom upstairs had no running water in the sink and no paper towels to use for hand-drying anyway, so I guess it's irrelevant that the water didn't work! One of the participants tried to shower but the water in the shower STOPPED after just 2 minutes in - she ended up bird-bathing in a different bathroom. On an emotional level - there was absolutely no JOY from the owner in the events of the day; no well wishes or even a congratulatory comment or any excitement in her affect at all - it appeared as though she was there to do a job that she seemingly hates, which is just SAD! Lastly - make sure you bring your own garbage bags! The venue supplied only 6... maybe they're saving money to pay for the AC repairs!

This was a terrible experience for my wedding. To begin with the A.C. in the changing rooms were broken and if we didn't show up two day prior we would have never know and wouldn't have brought any fans. The owner Janet has the worst attitude I have ever seen. She was awful to work with she fought me on renting a table cloth to cover their black gift table to match all of my tables because she didn't like it. She walked me and my MOH for the final walkthrough before the wedding as if we were children by saying things such as " that is our dumpster over there (which was the only one in the corner she pointed at) can you tell me what color it is so I know you understand". And she had that same attitude all night. In the dressing rooms we had moved the couch over to get pictures of my dress and found a bunch of trash which we cleaned up and apparently "forgot" a hanger that wasn't ours and when we told her she said well you can just throw it away and made us take it. She was just an all around awful person and I would never suggest anyone book an event there. Definitely not worth the money.
