Community Life Center

We worked with Carlie to plan and coordinate our event at the Community Life Center and she could not have been more helpful. Every step of the way she asked questions and thought of everything that we might need to make this a very special event for our Speech Team. The facility is wonderful and the service is top notch. Carlie did a great job to make sure that absolutely everything was taken care of and on the day of the event we just came in and got set up. Could not have been smoother!

Prairie Waters Event Center was a great place for our wedding!

We had our wedding at the Prairie Waters location in Westfield and it was nothing but amazing! All of our guests loved the open windows with the lake view behind it as well as the covered terrace. We were able to comfortably fit our guests for the ceremony and reception in a cabaret style seating arrangement. Carlie was a tremendous help making the floor plan, answering all of our questions, and getting everything we wanted for the bar. We would highly recommend this facility for weddings or other grand events!

*Exceptional* - Prairie Waters Event Center Westfield Location

The Prairie Waters Event Center in Westfield, In is hands down a top choice of mine for any occasion that needs to be celebrated big or small! My event decor business recently designed and styled a baby shower top to bottom at this exceptional venue for one of my clients. The venue has a stunning lakefront view in the back with a covered patio area. You have to see it to take it all in! A wedding here will be Elite! The spacious and updated setting makes it ideal for various events like weddings, parties, and banquets. There are so many amenities/perks in this venue, very clean and just an awesome vibe from the staff.
Carlie, the event staff member I interacted with, was incredibly accommodating and responded promptly to my inquiries when I needed her. Her pleasant demeanor added to the overall positive experience. I highly recommend this venue for its beautiful ambiance and outstanding service!!! I hope to style in this venue again!

So far its perfect

I have my ceremony scheduled for later this summer at the Giest location and I must say, so far so good! I have been working with Andrea (manager) and her professionalism is out of this world. I had multiple questions as this is my first time planning an event like this. She answered all my questions promptly, and has been willing to accomodate any of my needs. The location is stunning and I just feel extremely comfortable using this venue. The price was very affordable, cheapest I could find. Most importantly, at the giest location, we have the entire venue for the whole day. I am so excited about the professionalism that I had to write a review before the actual day. I will follow up with another review after the day is completed. In my opinion, book this place!
