Working with Dawn was awesome. Any questions or concerns we had were quickly addressed. Dawn and her staff provided our daughter with a beautiful reception. The decorations and room layout were exactly as promised. We chose to have the carving/serving stations and everyone of our guests raved about how great the food was. (you have to try the vegetable gravy, it might not sound good but believe us you could drink it, it was that good). Dawn coordinated perfectly with our other vendors so we didn't have to worry about a thing. We can't praise Dawn and The NEW Center enough! It was absolutely the perfect choice for our daughters wedding reception. if you are considering having a special event here, dont think twice, just nook them. You won't regret it.
Thanks again Dawn and your entire staff.

We had our wedding & reception here in October and it was PERFECT!

We wanted somewhere that we could have everything at the same place and the NEW Center met all our wants!

There is the perfect spot for cocktail hour overlooking the campus and it's beautiful landscaping, which also happened to be the spot we had our ceremony!

Our guests RAVED about our food! Wedding food, seriously?!? Usually the same old boring choice with bland flavors, well not here! Everyone I talked to after told us how good ALL our food was and they were so impressed! The prices are super reasonable for the area too!

The landscaping here has so many different options for pictures and it is very pretty, especially in the fall.

Dawn, the wedding coordinator, was amazing and helped in every way possible (which is huge when dealing with so many different vendors!)
We are SO happy we picked the NEW Center for our special day, I can't say enough good things about this location! If you're looking for somewhere in NEO, definitely check this place out!

Dawn and her team at the NEW Center were incredible to work with. Dawn took the time to answer all of my questions leading up to our reception (and there were a lot of questions). They helped turn our food station dreams into a reality for dinner and helped keep our reception running smoothly throughout the night. The food that was provided was outstanding and several of my friends complimented the bartending staff and said they were incredibly fun throughout the night. Thank you for helping to make our reception wonderful, I will be recommending the NEW Center to all of my friends in the future for events and wedding receptions.

We had my daughters wedding at The New in August 2017. First I have to say how wonderful Dawn Hull was. She was always kind, very prompt in returning phone calls or emails. Sometimes it seemed like she knew what we needed before we asked. She is very easy to work with. Her staff was wonderful, very professional. We had many compliments on the food (which was very good) and the venue (very modern). I don't have any complaints at all. I would recommend this venue to anyone.

We really had no complaints about having our reception at The NEW Center. We loved the modern look. The hanging lights in the main center of the building were gorgeous and could be customized to our wedding colors. Dawn, the wedding coordinator, was very easy to work with and handled almost everything we asked of her. We had a lot of DIY decorations and they took everything we had to set out for us and it all came together perfectly. They have screens to display wedding powerpoints/ slideshows if you desire to put one together. They have staging for the head table. They had a tv outside the ballroom that could display a picture of your choosing or they will put a generic message with your names and date. There is a nice area outside the ballroom for cocktail hour and the bar. All the food was delicious and we received many compliments on it. We had our wedding on a Friday to get discounted rates which was a major plus since catering is normally one of the most expensive parts of a wedding. Overall, great choice for a reception location.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
