Fall Wedding Reception

We had an absolutely incredible experience hosting our wedding reception at the Stillwater Event Center! From start to finish, Todd and his kitchen staff did an exceptional job with the food and accommodations. We still receive compliments on our wedding dinner! Our tasting also felt so special, and Todd was consistently kind, responsive, and accommodating throughout the entire planning process. Dan and his staff ensured every detail was organized. They were present during setup, when the DJ arrived, and stayed throughout the evening to make sure everything ran smoothly. With more than 200 wedding guests, their staff handled setup, the buffet service, table transitions, and teardown with smooth efficiency. The bartender and security staff was friendly, engaging, and did a fantastic job taking care everyone. The fenced outdoor patio was another highlight because it was perfect for guests to get fresh air, chat, and for kids to safely burn off a little energy. We could not have imagined a more smoothly run reception. The Stillwater Event Center team did an amazing job and we are very grateful we had them as a part of our wedding day.

The wedding was 11/6/2021. The venue was great. Everyone was so helpful. The wedding went off without a hitch and the food was absolutely amazing.

It was an beautiful fall day and they patio was defintely used. Even as it cooled down, people enjoyed the fire provided by the patio heater. Thank you for a wonderful day!

What a great venue! We chose it for its parking, handicap accessibility, and allowance of outside caterers. The hall itself is intimate, but was large enough to accommodate our 188 guests. The ceiling drapery and lighting transformed the hall from what seemed like a meeting room into a beautiful banquet hall. The hall manager, Dan, was very helpful and responsive. He took the time to understand what we were looking for, anticipated our needs, and had the resources to fulfill any requests that we had. I would definitely recommend this venue!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
