Great people to work with!

We used the event center for both our daughters' weddings and was very happy with them. Alicia and staff were always willing to answer any questions that would come up and help in any way they could. The facility was beautiful even before we added our touch. I would definately recommend them.

Top notch venue with stellar staff that went the extra mile to make our daughter’s wedding absolutely perfect!

We were so pleasantly pleased with how easy it was to work with the Clay County Regional Events Center staff when planning our daughter’s wedding. We are from out of state and planning an Iowa wedding initially felt daunting, but great communication and a few in-person visits helped make the wedding reception truly remarkable. The “gold package” was definitely worth the money! We also received many compliments on the meal as well. It was overall a wonderful venue and we would highly recommend it to others.
