This is the place to have your reception!!! The Norris Center-Red Oak Ballroom is unique in that it has windows on one whole wall! Being on the second level allows for spectaclular views! But it is the attention to detail and personalism that make this venue special! From the very beginning when we made the contract we felt our event was treated with respect-everyone involved (especially Gail and Kaitlyn) were so professional! We got great responses on our sit down dinner (meal was great!), appetizers and special signature drink! The Norris center went out of their way to add special touches to our reception!!! You will not have to look any further after visiting with the Norris Center staff. The connecting skywalk to the Hotel Sorella makes it great for guests as well. Parking garage was easy for guests to use! Do not mess with Galleria traffic. This venue was 10 min. from the church and everyone enjoyed the new City Centre! This will be new wedding venue all brides will want to have their reception at!! We got more for our money here!!
