I just got married at The Franciscan Event Center last week and honestly, it was the best experience I could’ve asked for. Everything from start to finish was so smooth and easy—no stress at all. The staff is super personable and relatable, and you can tell they genuinely care about making your day special. They know how important a wedding is and they treat it that way.

What makes The Franciscan stand out is how many options they offer. No other venue we looked at had this kind of flexibility. Plus, the space was literally built to be a wedding venue, and it shows. The flow from the ceremony to cocktail hour to the reception was seamless.

They also took care of the catering and wow—the food was incredible. So many caterers lose flavor when cooking in bulk, but not here. It was honestly one of the best meals I’ve ever had, and our guests were raving about it too.

If you’re thinking about having your wedding here, do it. You’ll be so happy you did. We couldn’t be more grateful for the amazing team at The Franciscan!

The Franciscan Event Center,
Thank you, Sonja, Staff and The Personal Touch Catering for an outstanding job in hosting my daughter and Son-in-law wedding June 2019. We visited many locations while searching for a venue in the early planning and once we met Sonja and saw the venue, we were in love and sold on The Franciscan Event Center located in Centennial. My daughter knew that was where she wanted to celebrate her wedding.
The place is gorgeous, the staff is terrific, the food - amazing. My family and friends thought I got a second mortgage to give my only daughter her white sand beach wedding of her dreams, but it was actually reasonable. They have so many options available and kept your budget in mind. Not to mention they were the most affordable venue I checked into.
They have truly made it easy for the bride. They are absolutely terrific, professional, helpful, sweet, caring, supportive, and help/guide us through every step along the way. Lots of decor onsite to choose from at no extra cost. Mix and match with your own to truly make it unique. Set up and cleanup is included in the price. And let me talk about the food. My guests raved about how delicious it was and the food presentation was gorgeous.
We had 160 guests attend the wedding, not only did the staff cater to the wedding party and family they also catered to each guest going to every table and asking the guests if they needed anything. The bartender was very personal and knew every person’s name as they came back for refills.
Sonja worked with the wedding planner, the chaplain, the photographer and the DJ to create a wonderful experience, great food, stress free event. The atmosphere was so calming and beautiful; perfect setting for pictures in their beautiful marble gazebo, waterfall scenery and outdoor patio. I highly recommend The Franciscan Event Center for anyone seeking a place to host any event! Thank you to all of the staff for a job well DONE!!!
