My fiancé and I have scheduled our reception to take place at the iWireless Center in Moline, IL. We have been corresponding with Jen and have visited the location on a day of another reception. The hall is very large, with high ceilings, and looks great. The Center has many options of lighting, color schemes, and other minor decor. They even have a new dance floor!

This venue is such a hidden gem in Iowa City. You could not ask for a better location to have a wedding since the venue is truly in the heart of downtown. Christa and the Bread Garden team were exceptional to work with. Communication was always easy and quick - with the team being super helpful at answering any and all questions. The attention to detail went beyond all expectations, as Christa even made sure the display platters for appetizers and desserts and even silverware matched our color schemes of our decorations. The entire team was professional and polite and the catering staff seemed happy to be there. The event space fit our 300 person wedding perfectly, leaving plenty of room for our dance floor and a stage for our band. And an underrated detail..... the bathrooms are HUGE! There was NEVER a line for the men's or women's rooms. I cannot say enough great things about this venue, the staff, or the food! Everything was perfect.

We used The Bend Event Center for our annual Wine Trade Show and the service we received was outstanding. The space was fantastic, everything we requested was taken care of, communication was excellent, and overall everything was handled with the upmost professionalism.

We are a wedding-planning company, and Bella Sala did not ask me to write this review. I have to share because we truly love every wedding we have here. The venue is conveniently located, has lots of parking, and is easy for transportation vendors to navigate, which is not the case at some venues. We love their wooded outdoor areas for photos. Their getting-ready areas are spacious!!! It's one of the few venues that will comfortably hold more than 300 guests, but we've also planned weddings under 50 here, and it's so versatile. It's clear that Melissa, JP, and Alana love their roles because I see them working tirelessly to ensure each event is a success. We highly recommend this space to any couple who is looking for a venue.

We had our wedding venue this past weekend at Oak Hill and it was absolutely AMAZING! Becky and her team did a fantastic job making sure everything was exactly what we envisioned and more! The venue itself it stunning and left our guests talking about how it was the most beautiful venue they have ever been too. I cant say enough good things about this venue, we wanted something country and outdoor and it checked every box. If I could get married there every year, I would! :) Thank you again to Becky and her team for making our day special and a day we will forever remember. We will forever cherish our memories at Oak Hill and Can't wait to come back for our anniversary to take some pictures!

We had a July wedding at the Grand River Center, and it was the perfect venue for a ceremony. Our guests where able to get a view of the Mississippi without sitting outside in the heat.

Excellent venue, provided everything we could need. We were treated like family and offered help any chance we needed. Would absolutely recommend!

I would highly recommend Little Lights to any engaged couple looking for a place to have their wedding. The venue speaks for itself. It is stunning. There is tons of space indoors and outdoors with a large groom's suite and bridal suite which allowed my bridesmaids and I to get ready there on our Big Day. The staff are phenomenal. They are experts in the field and will do anything to make your day run smoothly. They have an online "Wedding Planner" that helps you keep track of all your planning needs and communicate with LL staff in one easy location. Another big benefit of choosing Little Lights is their something borrowed closet. They have a large inventory of decor you can borrow for your Big Day. You really won't even need to buy your own decor depending on the size of your wedding. LL staff will help set it all up. One example of how amazing the LL staff are- I noted in my Wedding Planner that I wanted to use certain decor from their Something Borrowed Closet for my rehearsal dinner. When I got there, I expected to have to set it up. LL staff had already set up my entire rehearsal dinner! They even added some extra decor to make it look even better. The staff makes your wedding day and the planning leading up to it about as stress free and simple as possible. They are so easy to communicate with. They were also extremely helpful and empathetic in helping me make changes to my wedding due to the COVID-19 pandemic. They are also constantly adding things that enhance the space even more. Every time I went to an open house, there was something new that tied everything together even better than before! I cannot say enough good things about Little Lights. One look at the venue and you will fall in love!
