Everything was absolutely super! Great location, great meal and great staff. 100% satisfied and we will use your location again in the future, and have been promoting your site to our friends/family/ & clients! The combination plate was delicious. I heard positive comments from guests about how prompt the staff was serving and removing food. The bartenders were also always one step ahead.

Thanks for the 1st class hospitality! Our event would not have happened without your efforts and contributions. I cannot begin to describe the professionalism and excellence in which you treated us and presented the event.

Pretty expensive which I expected. I heard something about a tax after you bought your 6 dollar drinks. The staff was very good though they worked hard and made it fun

Nice large room for a gathering. The food by Powers Inc was delicious and I cannot say how they cook their food but it is amazing. They are the people to cater any party if you want good food and service that is spot on.

Very fun show, Anna Silvers is my favorite but all put a fun entertaining show. The staff at the event were courteous and kept the event areas clean and mess free and restrooms have a seating area and large mirrors!

I had the Walleye, green beans, and potatoes. Everything tasted excellent. Except the food was served cold. Also I had my medicine in a water glass and staff came and took it before I was done. Otherwise it was a very nice place to have an event.

We had our wedding reception at the Event Center and it was flawless. The staff were friendly and accommodating, the hall was decorated beautifully and we got SO MANY compliments from our guests about how delicious their meal was. We worked with Peter through all of the planning and there aren't words to express how helpful, welcoming and willing he was to make our special day run smoothly!

We had a great experience with the event center as the location for our wedding reception. From the first day of planning, through the night of the wedding we had nothing but good experiences. The entire staff at the event center was pleasant, attentive, and very accommodating. As the wedding day got closer, I had so many questions about various parts of the reception and Chris was so so helpful in answering each and every one of them.

Through the entire reception, the staff was great to work with - each one of them willing to help however they can. The room was absolutely beautiful, and the food was amazing. We got a lot of comments from guests about how much they enjoyed the food and decor. We were very impressed with our experience with the event center and would highly recommend working with them.
