Great Venue

We had our daughters wedding at the Bushnell and everything was great! Lisa was amazing and great to work with. It was so nice having the wedding & reception all at one venue and made it so convenient for all of the out of state guests staying at the Marriott.

Dream Venue!

I got married at the Bushnell Event Center and had the most memorable time. From first stepping foot in to take a tour to walking out after my wedding was easy, top notch service with amazing communication. Lisa was a gem to work with through the whole process and I used vendors from their preferred list and had no issues. My wedding went to smooth and ended up being the best day of my life.

Lisa was such a bright light in a stressful time. I would recommend anyone to have their wedding here. Well any event really. I’m now planning my baby shower at the Bushnell, Lisa has really become part of our family!
