Message vendorReviews of Waddell Center
Excellent Venue!
Bre, our day-of-coordinator, was a pleasure to work with. She made sure everything looked fantastic and that our ceremony ran without a hitch. She made us feel calm and comfortable because she knew how to handle every request we had.
We knew when choosing this venue that there was not a getting ready space for the bridal party, so we got ready in a nearby hotel that we were staying in anyway. If we could make one change, it would be to add a getting ready room in the back hallway area.
Overall, we had a wonderful time and definitely recommend Waddell Center!
Stunning Venue
Beautiful Venue and Amazing Staff!
