The MGCC was the perfect venue for our wedding reception. It was affordable and allowed us to bring in any caterer we wanted and our own alcohol. This saved us a ton of money! Just make sure you get all of the rules up front as we learned some things we were planning on doing wasn't allowed about 2 weeks before the wedding. Our DOCs adjusted the plan and it ended up great after a slight moment of panic.

First off the space at the Civic center was GREAT. The event staff was efficient and got their jobs done. The sales and event coordination however was not so great. We found out at our final walk through with the venue and caterer that there was an event that was supposed to be getting done at the same time that we were to get the room. A bit of google searching showed that event planning on going an hour or so PAST when we were supposed to get the room that we had a contract for. Looking back it was clear that this issue had been known for at least three months and if Larry had admitted to us what was going on would have been a VERY easy change to ensure that there were no issues however we were under the impression that all had been fixed some other way. Thankfully the work staff from the civic center and our Caterer did great jobs making sure that this wasn't an issue on the day of the event.

We would gladly use this space again however will not be working with Larry again.
