A storybook wedding. Simply the best!

From the moment we first drove passed the KMAEC, no other venue was ever really on our radar. We half-heartedly looked elsewhere, but we really only wanted this one. It is part of the Cleveland Clinic’s Lou Ruvo Brain Health Center, which means every event puts money toward that important mission.

It is the most unique building in Las Vegas, designed by Frank Gehry. The building and grounds are quite literally a work of art – and elevate any event that are held there.

The staff are phenomenal to work with. Everyone we dealt with, from Maggie, to Gracious and Paul and Jean – they all make you feel like your event is the only one that matters to them.

If you’re looking for the best place to have a wedding in Las Vegas, look no further.

Keeping Memory Alive was professional, personal and the perfect choice for our wedding reception. Not only did they personalize the event for us, they accommodated to any concerns we had. I can not speak more highly of them. Our guests are still talking about our wedding 2 weeks later. David, Gina, Paul and Gracious were a joy to work with and not to mention profits go towards a good cause! KMA stands for so much more than just one night as they donate the proceeds. Gina was always quick to respond as I worked with her the closest in planning the event. As a bride with a lot to worry about, I didn't have to worry about them delivering. Highly recommend to others!

We are so glad we chose the Keep Memory Alive center for our destination wedding venue! The Frank Gehry designed building was breathtaking and certainly impressed all of our guests. People are still talking about our awesome venue! The white walled room was able to be transformed quickly into a modern fairytale. It was unbelievable! Being from Boston, and inviting over 100 guests to our wedding I was worried about coordination and how everything would come together in the end. Let me tell you; Gina, David, and Sawyer had everything under control!! They were a pleasure to work with and so helpful.

If you're looking to plan a unique and classy Vegas wedding book at the KMA center! You won't be disappointed :)

I think all of the other brides that reviewed this place took all of the things that I wanted to say! However, I just want to reiterate that KMA is such a beautiful venue and a unique one at that. You don't have to do much to dress up your wedding reception. It is absolutely breathtaking inside and out. I loved this place because it was off the Strip, yet close enough that we could shuttle everyone to and from the Strip safely with AWG transportation.

David and Gina were my lifesavers! They kept my sanity intact while planning this 330 person reception. They were always so helpful and so prompt--something that a Type A personality bridezilla loved!!!

I brought in an outside caterer--David and Gina were so accommodating and did not make me feel bad for going with an outside caterer. They helped coordinate the reception timeline for us and the party was a success. When people start calling your wedding reception an "awesome party", you know something was done right.

Not only could you have your wedding reception at such a beautiful venue, but you could feel good that the money that you pay for the reception gets donated to a good cause. If you're willing to splurge for your venue--you will not regret it! You will be working with some of the coolest, most fun, yet extremely professional people in town.

Special thanks to Gina, David & Sawyer (AV attendant) for making it a success!

I could not imagine getting married anywhere else! The Keep Memory Alive Center was exactly what I wanted and more - Off strip, totally unique, easily accessible, spacious, with lots of options for food, beverage, and personalization. David Watts, who was our Sales Director, was fabulous! He really cared about us and our wedding, and any time there was an issue or a hiccup (which naturally happens with all events) I knew that David really cared and would work hard to make me happy - Which he totally did!
The operational manager, Gina, was awesome, too! She did as many floor plans as we needed, was there all day and all night, and made sure that my guests never waited or wanted for anything.
Chef Gustav was impeccable! The food was delicious, was served to all 200 guests hot, and looked beautiful, too! He was very hands on and attentive, great with my family at the tasting, made suggestions, and let us tweak his dished until they were exactly perfect for us.

I cannot recommend Keep Memory Alive Center more!!!

The KMA Event Center is AMAZING! Not only is the architecture a WOW factor, but my entire wedding was incredible! The staff was extremely accommodating and dedicated to making my day special. From the gorgeous china, glassware and decor (all included in their facility fee), to the unparalleled food and beverage (we went with Gustav--SUPER!!!), we were completely overwhelmed!! My wedding will go down in history as one of the classiest and fabulous weddings compared to all my friends! Of course, you then factor in the fact that all profit they made from my wedding went to treatment and research for those suffering from neurological diseases, how can you go wrong? This is a hidden gem in Las Vegas! I searched high and low for the perfect spot to get married and I looked at EVERY venue in Las Vegas. I really didn't want my guests to have to go through a smokey casino or hotel, and I looked at all country clubs and off-strip venues in the area. None had to offer as much as the KMA Event Center. They made my experiece so carefree and it was just a fantastic day that we will remember forever. Thanks to the entire staff!!

David Watts is a pleasure to work with. I have had the pleasure of booking KMA for two corporate clients in large part because David was able to get creative with the chef and make our budget work. His partnership, positive attitude, and willingness to be flexible has made KMA one of the venues I propose on a regular basis now to corporate clients. I truly appreciate his "we will make it work" approach to events! The KMA operations team does a wonderful job in the execution of events. Their timeliness, attention to detail, and approachable demeanor makes our job easier and our clients very happy. I love working with you guys!

It is with great pleasure that I applaud David Watts for his professionalism while working with him for my Queen of Hearts event to benefit Discovery Children's Museum, while honoring some of the most affluent women in our community. David, the KMI venue and all staff were a delight and a polished cohesive group. I have personally and professionally know David for many years and worked with him in various capacities, with each encounter leaving me with nothing short of an uplifting experience. He has myself, my guests and my customers feeling welcome, appreciated and taken care of as if they were friends in his own home. He has always been forward thinking anticipating potential needs and taking ownership of each event. Additionally, if budget or various obstacles have come up he has been accommodating to assist in reaching goals as a team with a win-win approach to accomplishing our desired vision. I give David, the staff and the breathtaking KMA venue the highest of accolades for an exquisite event.

My clients were looking for unique venue with amazing food and service… And Keep Memory Alive didn't disappoint! From the first time we arrived for our site inspection, David (the special events director) was amazing to work with. He was punctual, knowledgeable about the venue, always helpful, and authentically interested and engaged with everything we wanted to do. The space was absolutely gorgeous, the food came for Wolfgang Puck and was amazing, and everyone has done nothing but rave about the entire evening. I couldn't recommend David or Keep Memory Alive Center more!

Everything about this venue was amazing from the service, food, beverage, linens, china, to the architecture. We didn't want a traditional wedding venue/banquet hall so we found the KMA Event Center and we didn't look any further! The LED lighting package that illuminated the ceiling was so cool and really set the stage for a great reception. Dealing with David was also great as he was able to work on the menu and get the costs within my budget. Everyone had a great time and we will never forget this amazing night with our family and friends.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
