Wedding Day for the Crawfords

Nancy went above and beyond helping us with this wedding process. She mad it very clear and she was very professional along the process. There was one issue we were having with trying to find a caterer and Nancy step in offered to call and schedule and she was able to us with the caterer. She is the best and we a so grateful for her. Thanks to the cultural arts center our wedding day will be filled with awesome memories and lovely moments

Amazing, Flexible, Courteous, Affordable!

Nancy at the Cultural Arts Center goes above and beyond. The venue is dynamic, looks great, and we were faced with last minute severe weather and they were extremely accommodating. I had to move my ceremony from the garden to the ballroom last minute, and they even provided battery powered lanterns in the event we lost power. Took a huge load of stress off our shoulders so we could focus on our moment. Planning the ceremony and reception ahead of time was super easy, and they even allowed vendors (i.e. florist and photographer) to join in and tour the grounds with me. I highly recommend the Cultural Arts Center. Our day couldn't have been more perfect and a lot of it was due to the folks behind the scenes.

Overall this place was great for my reception. I had 200 people, but their smaller ballroom looks better.

This is a great venue. There are 2 ballrooms to choose from and a lovely covered sculpture garden. My fiance and I had our ceremony in the sculpture garden, a cocktail 1/2 hour in the gallery and then we went back into the garden for the reception. Everything was perfect and it felt good to know that the money we spent on renting the venue went to a good cause.

Great place for the wedding but the event coordinator was completely unresponsive to our questions in the months leading up to the event. In the week or two before she responded but every little change cost more $.

Birthday nightmare

Nancy Allen was training another employee. In the midst of me planning my event I was told that they placed the tables and I had to accept the arrangements of the table 5 days to my event that was planned 8 months prior to. They walked around the vineyard while we were setting like they were overseers. I walked in the hall and had to walk through my guest and the band in order to get through to introduce myself. No ice maker at the bar. My guess had to remove trash after paying $250 for removal. Nancy Allen that is employed by arts center wanted to take no responsibility for anything that happened they told me it was water under the bridge. I don't know why a CEO or manager of the cultural arts have not contacted me but they damn sure should be what a nightmare. I would not recommend having anything at this development or establishment.
