Beautiful Celebration of Life

We held a celebration of life for my wife at The Bend Event Center in October. For such a difficult time in my life, they made everything so elegant and easy for us. They truly were great to work with. They asked questions of what we desired, gave us recommendations, and handled everything that they possible could to minimize our stress knowing what we were going through. The entire staff leading up to the event, and at the event were professional, compassionate, friendly and caring. We received so many compliments on the beauty of the evening and the venue, and several people commented that it was the most beautiful celebration of life they had ever attended. For such a beautiful person, it was exactly what we wanted.

The Best Day Ever!

Our daughter and son-in-law had their wedding reception at The Bend Event Center this past Saturday. Everything exceeded our expectations! Mykenzie was absolutely amazing to work with. From the day we booked the event center, to the food tasting, and the actual event, she was there to answer any questions and offered the best advice. Ross, the bartenders, and the rest of the staff were fantastic. They served the meal quickly to 200 people and it was hot and delicious! I had several people tell me that the meal was better than ones they have had at high priced restaurants, and I totally agree! The atmosphere and beauty of the venue completed the perfect evening! We can’t thank The Bend Event Center enough for making this The Best Day Ever!!!
