Our very first time! Venue is safe very clean and a systematic way of getting in and out. Lots of vendors.. Inside is cashless. Parking is $25 cash or card
Spectacular architecture and sound system... absolutely stunning facility in the heart of downtown LA. Wonderful concert by Japanese Breakfast and I am excited and inspired to come back for other events! Thanks for a great experience 👍
Best place to learn Bachata on a Monday night.
Considering this arena has been here since the damn of time, I would say that it's in good shape. Easy to navigate to get to your seats. We went to see Hot Wheels monster trucks & every seat was a good seat for the show.
It's very beautiful and stunning..we took a tour of the entire building, it's elite. There is paid parking nearby, and a lot of parking areas are there. There is no free parking if u are looking for one. But the best thing is u can also visit the Broad and angels flight and central market. Plus u can also take a metro to Griffith observatory bus stand from that area. So many places u can cover n pay for just one parking.
The hall is marvelous and the building terrace is pretty too. N it's open on weekends because Google says it's not.
There is no ticket.

My visit to Pechanga Arena was great. This is a good basic venue. It holds about 15,000 people. So the view is good and the parking is great. The building is over 50 years old. There are food service venues in a ring around the auditorium. I saw Cirque du Soleil here and the seating, sound, and lighting was great. It does lack the high-tech features and amenities of a new arena.
Directly across the road from The Broad Museum. The Walt Disney Concert Hall is an absolutely stunning work of architecture from Frank Gehry, who also designed (among others) The Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain. The sweeping metal exterior panels of the building are intended to portray the architects love of sailing.
The Concert Hall's stunning visuals (both interior and exterior)are matched by its amazing acoustics which can be experienced by its resident orchestra, The LA Philharmonic, among other performances by various artists throughout the year.
Guided or self guided tours are available free of charge, daily from 10am to 3pm.

My husband and I were on a Hollywood tour so we had a limited amount of time to see the Dolby theater. Course during the morning it isn't open for performances but I was truly blown away as we walked the stairs to see how the columns were engraved with the best picture winners from the beginning. In case you are wondering about the more recent winners they are on the other side of these same columns as you make your way down.
It's hard to believe this is the place they host the Academy Awards. It is part of the Ovation mall where you can shop, get something to eat and of course sneak a peek at the Hollywood sign out on the terrace. Note: guided tours are available.
I'm sure this theater would be spectacular on the inside and would be great to see a performance there. Nevertheless, I was thrilled to at least see part of it and will have a better understanding of what it is like with all the celebrities on Oscar night. Located on Hollywood Blvd Walk of Fame near the Chinese theater.

Dolby Theatre , Hollywood
During my Hollywood Walk of Fame got a chance to visit this world famous theatre. The Glory of the theatre and Museum is magnificent. Dolby Theater, the venue for the Oscars, itself so fascinating. When you cross the famous ladders , you actually feel that you have won the OSCARs J Iconic! Imposing and Incredible… this theatre surely will give you thrill to anyone. You actually imagine and goes to flashback of so many movies reading their names on the pillar . Goosebumps for sure. This experience will be forever remain in your heart. You will actually remember it whenever you will see OSCAR awards. Oh this is the place, I have been to . How Nice and exciting.
If you like movies, if you have enjoyed the Oscars years after years, and you are in Los Angeles… the Dolby (Kodak) Theater have to be in your bucket list! I must recommends.

It was my first time here. It’s an old place. Yet it’s clean. Acoustics is good. The seats are too tight though. Getting through a row is a pain. If you can get a seat closest if not next to an isle would be good
We were lucky enough to be accommodated on the Hollywood Walk of Fame during our stay. That's why we walked down this long street full of world-famous stars many times. There we visited the film museum, attended a performance at the Chinese Theater and, with great luck, won tickets for a guided tour of the Dolby Theater, the venue for the Oscars. This was the last year the theater was still called the Kodak Theater. It was closed for almost the whole of July. We went to Las Vegas for a few days and the day we came back it "miraculously" opened. We had a small group guided tour. It was truly a special and unforgettable experience.
Ample parking, friendly staff, air conditioned theater and clean bathrooms. What more can you ask for really ?
Terribly managed venue. Inadequate staffing and processes to effectively get people in the door, resulting in a wait of over 45 minutes simply to get into the facility which delayed the start of the event by more than 30 minutes. Should not be the case for a venue of this relatively small size. In addition, quality, competency, service levels and attitude of security staff are extremely poor.
I never was able to enter but the outside is magnificent. The architecture is really something to marvel at. On a hot day if feels weird because of how hot the and heat is reflected off of the metal structure but overall it’s super pretty to visit and just grab a quick picture outside of it. Overall worth the experience if downtown and if near the broad
Games for Change conference was hosted here this year, great venue.
I gave it a 2 star. The theater is huge and beautiful but not safe. I just watched ONE PIECE CONCERT, I'm sitting on mez3 row D. 1st thing I noticed is the spaces/walkway per rows are very narrow and no barrier or atleast some kind of holding rods. Ok, so that kinda scary for me already, good thing my seat is not to far. Anyways, other ppl passing by are also saying the same thing, " wow so narrow". Alright, so concert started.. amazing and beautiful concert!, sometime after the 15 min break was over and concert resumes, lights were turned off except the stage lights, there was this guy all of the sudden tumbling from our row D, down to row C, right in front of me.. OMG! SCARED THE HECK OUT OF ME!. Ppl on C row were also shock on this incident. Thank goodness the guy is ok, i think. Anyways, my point is... that place is unsafe.
What an amazing experience!
Visited with my wife for an orchestra performance in the day. The staff were all beyond friendly and helpful. We definitely will be returning on our next trip to Los Angeles.

We went there on June 30th to see “Vicki Lawrence and Mama: A Two Woman Show”. The show was great. This is an older theater with fewer amenities but very comfortable seats and wide aisles. Best thing is that parking is free…but it does fill up quickly. If you want to park nearest to the building you will need to get there about an hour prior to showtime.
I had the pleasure of attending a stand-up comedy show at the Wilshire Ebell Theatre and it was a memorable experience. The atmosphere is vibrant, filled with an infectious energy that just enhances the entire event. The theatre's charm and historical ambiance add a unique character that sets the stage for an enjoyable evening.
Located in a pleasant neighborhood, the theatre provides an added comfort, making it a hassle-free experience right from your arrival. It's clear that a great deal of thought has been put into ensuring the audience's comfort and entertainment.
All in all, the Wilshire Ebell Theatre provides a superb venue for stand-up comedy, coupling fantastic performances with a warm and welcoming environment. I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a delightful evening of laughter and fun.

Great place for a small conference
This is one of my fav theatres in the area, the staff is always friendly, prices reasonable, clean, and spacious! I would recommend them in a heartbeat! If you are looking for a place for date night or family night and are near or far come give them a visit!

We saw Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat and enjoyed the colorful show. It was fun to watch patrons try and learn parts of the final dance number. The theatre is small but a nice venue and the staff were very kind and gave me a water when I had to exit the show because of an unexpected coughing attack. They made sure I was okay!!!
Was here for my daughter's 8th grade promotion and the venue is beautiful. Staff was friendly and helpful and we had a great time here. 👍
This is a very nice well kept place for small concerts and events. They usually have one country concert each year that I attend. Other shows and plays throughout the year.
Wonderful theatre. The performances, the venue, the workers... everything is magnificent. I will definitely continue attending their excellent shows.
Went to a Rauw Alejandro concert recently, and it was good. However, the best part for me was when the Jabbawockeez came out and performed. We had decent seats, and lines to get in weren't too bad. The drinks were on the expensive side. Overall, it was a great experience. I did see a Monster Truck Show a while back and thought it was too small a venue for that. The kids liked it regardless.
I watched 👀 the “Hairspray 💇🏻♀️ ✂️” musical 🎶 just last week at the Dolby Theater 🎭 and it was amazing 🤩😍! I ❤️ the ambiance ✨ of the theater, even though I have to admit that it looks a lot simpler in person compared to how glamorous 🌟 it looks on TV 📺 when big awards ceremonies 💫, like the Oscars 🏆 this year, have been hosted there 🙂!
I ❤️ everything about watching my very first musical 🎶 at the Dolby 🎭 😃! Overall, it is pretty easy and straightforward to get to on the weekdays. But I would imagine that it might.m be much more hectic on the weekends. I opted to come and watch the musical on a weekday, just for better ticket pricing 🎫, especially since I wanted to sit in the orchestra section for a change 😁!
“Hairspray 💇🏻♀️ ✂️” was absolutely amazing 🤩😍!! And it brought back wonderful memories of the movie musical 🎥 🍿 🎶 that came out in 2007 😄!!
I even treated myself to the signature Corny Collins’ cocktail 🍸 😋!
The entire ambiance ✨ and the inside elegance 😍 of the Dolby 🎭 made this such a memorable and fun 🤩 experience!
The only thing I think 🤔 could be better is if the Dolby would be willing to validate parking for people who see shows or attend events at their venue. There are restaurants and a movie theater 🎥 🍿 (in the same complex as the Dolby) that validates parking so you only have to pay a certain amount for parking. But the Dolby doesn’t validate 🤷♀️. So if you park in that shopping center 🛍️ parking structure, you just have to prepare to pay $6 per hour, with a total max of $20.

I’ve attended many excellent events, book talks here - a great space and building.
The Walt Disney Concert Hall is a beautiful, magical spot, inside out! A definite must experience place in Los Ángeles. The ticket booth is on 1st and Grand as well as some iconic steps. When you walk in there are lots of staff members available to direct you to your seats/ floor. There is a cafeteria and bar on the main floor. Prices are at a premium yet all the choices look excellent- subs, salads, candy, cookies, chips, bar drinks. The concert hall is absolutely magical. Incredible, clean sound from the bohemian strings performance we listened to. The gift shop is filled with unique and cool items! Large, clean restrooms available. Parking is $10 in the underneath structure.
Simply Amazing performances. Everyone was kind & friendly. For the first time, the term "Southern Charm" made sense.

I had been a Series Subscriber for several years until the Pandemic. The recent show, The King and I, made me that much more of a Fan to this Theatres Productions. No detail was left out. It was perfect.
Delightful venue. Love the theatre backdrop is a garden!
La Mirada Theatre for the Performing Arts is a fantastic venue for catching a performance. Only
Top notch productions are put on here and I have always found it to be well worth the price of admission. I recently saw The King and I here and it was a great evening. There is a ton of free parking so no need to be concerned about that aspect.

Very old venue, looks overwhelmed and smells same. We got here for a concert, overall experience was okay. Parking is weirdly priced, so we’ve parked on nearby parking structure (Aroma parking) that was 2 times cheaper. We liked the bar set up in the lobby, no lines or crowds, it was easy to buy a drink.
We've been here before, but it's always a pleasure to come back.
Right smack on Hollywood Boulevard Hollywood California!
We came here to see the 25th Anniversary Riverdance Show!

The seat and stairs are very thight, parking its small, but for concerts has very good acoustics, we went for Evanescence and Muse concert and was great
One of the most magnificent landmarks in Los Angeles. Its architecture and design beauty are only matched by the astounding performances that are presented here. Also of note are the acoustics of the venue. Pro Tip: Take the stairs on either side of the exterior of the building to go to an elevated garden in the back of the property. A little respite from downtown Los Angeles.
Absolutely worth it! Our guide was amazing and shared tons of interesting details about the theater and the Oscar's ceremony. Highly recommend taking the guided tour!
Very nice...the place is clean
Can you change your chairs? At least for the money you are charging, you should have better chairs
Really enjoyed wandering around the Walt Disney concert hall! There’s a free audio tour with lots of descriptive stops across multiple floors, where you can learn more about the vision of the building, the history, and how it was made. Good narrations spanning many different points of view. An absolutely captivating architectural feat both inside and out. Home of the LA Philharmonic. Hope to be back soon for a concert!
A beautiful, polished, modern yet, very welcoming Theater in the heart of KA Mirada, CA. Ample seating in the lobby with a cozy stone-lined fireplace. There's a small bar in the lobby where wine, coffee and candies are available for purchase. The productions offered are top notch with well known performers.
I highly recommend patronizing this wonderful theater. If you want to have a late breakfast or lunch, I recommend Cassidy's Cafe next to the theater. Delicious Bagel Sandwiches. Staff is fast and friendly. Indoor and outdoor seating available.

I enjoyed the play! Parking was close by. It was easy to enter and exit. There are only 4 stalls in the lady's restroom downstairs. There's more restrooms upstairs, but I didn't get to see the inside because the line was too long. Make sure you go before the play starts.
Iconic! Impressive! Inspiring! This tour will give chills to any movie lover and not only it is informative but you’ll cherish this experience forever and remember it each year during the Oscars Awards! Thank you to our knowledgeable tour guide!
I had so much fun had front row seats to a Eagles cover band and it was one of the best experiences of my life
This is a small theater, so all the seats have a great view. Staff was helpful directing us to our seats. As usual, the line for the women's restroom was too long. I missed 2 songs returning from intermission. Great night of entertainment!
Went for hot wheels monster trucks with the family a few months ago. Great time. Easy access from parking to venue. Tight parking and over priced snake and drinks to be expected. All around fun and great location. Not a bad seat in the building.
Standard arena. The AC units definitely work. It was pretty cold for the concert I saw. Cashless arena. Point of note if you need handicap parking. It's first come first serve and it's all in one spot, on one side. Also shared with employees. So, plan your seats wisely or you may have a long trek. But, get there early enough and you might catch the fireworks from SeaWorld. Was not happy about being forced to watch commercials between acts.
We’ve been here for several concerts and now to see Anastasia. It’s a really nice place. The ticket prices are very reasonable. In particular to see Anastasia thee tickets were considerably cheaper than prices i saw at a different venue. We sat in the balcony. It sounded great and there were no problems hearing or what was going on. The only downside is the seats themselves. They are narrow and short from front to back. There isn’t a lot of leg room. It’s like they are more for children or teenagers than adults. The person behind me kept bumping my seat. At the end of the night my back was bothering me after sitting in the seats for the show.
Rating 5 stars for the students and faculty of the music department.
Georgia Southern needs to put a wheelchair or two in the PAC. It's incredibly irresponsible to not have done so. The police department doesn't have wheelchairs, either. Shame on you, Georgia Southern. I'm embarrassed for you and disappointed in you. The PAC regularly hosts large numbers of members of the public from all backgrounds. It's extremely irresponsible and short-sighted to not have at least one wheelchair available in case of emergencies like what I experienced when I last visited.

Great space for corporate events, easily accessible and conveniently located in midtown.
Saw trash taste here and it was amazing venue. They have a back bar and the venue has the old school vibes that I enjoy. The seats are rough on the back or arms. But after a while you get use to it. Staff was nice to help us get us to our seats and the music in this Venue works well. Hope to come back again.
Was primarily in the stage area, and the entrance is pretty grand with staircases that have a railing with a clear acrylic or plastic side. I made the space feel bigger, I will say the light color would floor is starting to show its wear but as for the space overall, modern and open. The stage was fantastic and the chairs were super comfortable!
Good place, wifi available
The place is nice, never know I might put on an event their staff is amazing and the location is easy to fine and there's lots of street parking all free
Small and has round tables clean and homey feeling for a small gathering such as a christening or birthday no dance floor or stage strictly a bar a kitchenette and walkway parking limits fits ten cars Alternate paring caddy corner arrange in advance as they tend to have swat meets in that lot across from venue
Really unwelcoming receptionist. Very strange and strict age restrictions.
Very nice venue for a dance competition but it's FREEEEEEZING!!!! So bring a blanket or warm clothing if you'll be here all day.
Over the years I've been to music rehearsals, dances, club meetings, etc.. If you're interested in history, look up the story of two Finnish halls in Berkeley. It is great shape for being over 100! The only thing I dislike are the chairs... bring a pad to sit on.
We have been to quite a few events at Pechenga Arena and always have a great time. The staff is always pleasant and very helpful. We went last night to see Muse (what a concert!). I purchased the Preferred Parking which is great. $80 and access in and out of the parking is quick and easy. Preferred Parking also comes with access to the Stella Artois Lounge and a "skip the line" pass (we joke because it says may not skip the bathroom or concessions lines).
The lounge is great, it is a nice, relaxing place to sit before and even during some of the show if you like. There is a full bar and a menu you can order food from and the amazing staff will bring it to you. There is also a set of restrooms inside the lounge and just outside (by the floor access). Last night we were even treated to some live pre-show music in the lounge. The only downside is I am not sure how accessible it is, lounge is down a large flight of stairs and I have not seen an elevator (but may be out of our site).
Acoustics in the arena are pretty good and the seating is decent. We were pretty close and my only issue is the section we were in seems to be mobile or on rollers so when people jump up and down, you can get a bit sea sick (it was awful when we took my daughter to see Shawn Mendes, too much movement). Other than that, love the venue! Really don't think there is a bad seat in the house.

Very nice stop. Featured artist on the first floor with beautiful landscapes, second floor with black and white photos of past presidents. We even got a tour of the theater next door. When in Statesboro, you're not going to want to miss it.
Just had my birthday party at "The Shatto" Hall on Slauson ave, I had an Amazing experience.The walk thru with the manager was professional, courteous and attentive..The hall was breath-takingly Beautiful. Italian chandeliers, mirrors everywhere, marble, and a large dance floor. My birthday was Perfect!!! My guests and I had an awesome time and I would recommend The Shatto to anyone who wants their event to be in an elegant setting.
This is a beautiful place! Plenty of room, very clean, fabulous lighting reflecting off the surrounded wall of mirrors. Not to mention the exquisite sound of Bose speakers will have the party bumpin'.
The Shatto Banquet Hall will be a spectacular experience leaving memories for a lifetime.

We used this space for an educational seminar.
The staff was kind and helpful when we met to sign the paperwork. They met me at the space and walked me around. Great location with many catering options nearby. Mid seminar my husband even got a smoothie from smoothie king. The whole class had Panera from 1 min up the road. They helped with tables and chairs and even banner poles.
Convenient, clean, and comfortable place that allows for social distancing. Very happy with my experience.

I had a terrible experience renting this venue. If I could give it zero stars I would. We had my mother’s birthday party here. We made a whole slideshow to display because when we visited we saw they had a huge projector screen. The day of the party when we were setting up the projector screen was nowhere to be found. I called the event planner but she said she was unable to get in contact with the owner. So we weren’t able to use it unfortunately. After the party my family and I spent a long time cleaning up to make sure the place was pristine when we left. Luckily I took pictures on the way out. I called several times about getting my deposit back. The owner finally called me and told me he would only return half of my deposit because I didn’t have a liquor license and served alcohol. This was not true because I had a liquor license and posted it above the bar following requirements for Anne Arundel County. I told him as much and he said I should email it to him to prove that I have it, which I did. He then said he couldn’t return half of my deposit because I didn’t get the required insurance for the party. Which again is not true I also provided him with a copy of the one day insurance we had that covered the event. He then stated the place was left very dirty which was the reason he could not return my full deposit. The place was left cleaner than we found it. He was clearly lying and just looking for any reason to keep my money. I told him that I have pictures that prove otherwise. He claimed to have pictures too. I told him he needed to refund my full deposit or I would take him to court and get it that way. I followed up with an email detailing the absurd phone call that was not responded to. I filed a case in small claims court and served him. He then called me and threatened that he would countersue me for $2500 which is how much his lawyer costs. I told him to please do it and I’ll see him in court. He then later said he will pay me my full deposit back. But I told him he now owes my deposit plus the court costs which was an additional $80. He initially refused to pay but later mailed me the check for the entire amount. Renter beware! The owners name is Torrey Jacobson, he is dishonest, and will try to keep your deposit. Please take pictures before you leave the rental hall. I wouldn’t recommend supporting this business at all.
Such a good place for dance, at least a form of dance I do called contact improvisation. A teacher of the form called it a cross between wrestling and modern dance. This is an apt description. On Thursday nights there's a weekly jam - that's what it's called, a jam, sorry no peanut butter - and then once a month there's something called Underscore. It's an unusual form, so I would recommend classes before attending a jam. There's a class before the Thursday jam, so that's a good place to start if you wanted to find out more about contact improvisation.
Nice place. The reception was wonderful. But there were small glass on the dance. One guest was cut and started bleeding. Then, a kid found piece of the Chandler on the ground.
So nice
I've only been here a couple times but had a good experience both times. It's a clean and nice and new looking place. I'd recommend it!
Dancing is good!
This space is great, it has wooden floors and high ceilings. It is not ADA accessible. There is a smallll parking lot and street parking on University Ave.
The hall doesn't set off my multiple chemical sensitivities, nor is it moldy or dusty.

Only if they offered more badminton hours
The PAC is a great place to enjoy theater and orchestral performances. They often have free shows that you can take your children to so they can experience something other than movies and video games. Pretty awesome to have such a nice building in a smaller town!
very strong paint smell in the gymnasium, kinda makes me dizzy
Beautifully decorated, highly organized. A wonderful place to have any event from birthday parties, anniversaries or wedding receptions. I went recently there to a birthday party that was fabulous. Bartender was wonderful all drinks were free the food was catered the DJ was the bomb it was excellent and I highly recommend this place for any event you would love to have.
Had a baby shot here, they need to seriously set mouse traps and exterminate. There was dropping in the fridge and a mouse hanging out in the trash in the bathroom. Other than that the place was clean and neat. It's whatever you make it. I just don't do mice.
Great place to do some recreation
Wow! This place blew me away with the acoustics... On top of the amazing sound the structure is beautiful. Parking can be a challenge which makes it less than an idea venue. On the flip side it's off a major intersection and bus line, so the right event might bring the locals.
Please do not bring your loved one to this facility. The Director of the facility has absolutely no compassion. She tells you she will take care of your loved ones needs and there is never any follow through. If you have a concern as to why your loved one isn’t receiving their medicine as directed she will send in a nurse to try and explain why the meds haven’t been given. Personal opinion...she should take charge and ensure that her staff is doing what is required. My grandmom is dying and she should be receiving pain meds every 4 hours and still waiting after 9 hours and nothing. Even with constant request of the medicine. This place does not even deserve a one star but there is no option for a ZERO. Please, please think long and hard before placing your loved one here.
What a nice venue. I've been there for concerts, dances, and community events. The bathrooms are unisex.
The floors are great for dancing.
The owners have kept the original look and feel of this historic building.

I have attended a lot of events that were held here. It's a great space and a great stage. It is spacious so there is plenty of room for your step-and-repeat and other signage. Consider it for your tour next big event.
Perfect place for a small to mid size conference. Polite staff, very comfortable stadium style auditorium with cushioned seats, free and fast wifi, and very close to Penn Station. I would have given 5 stars except for one thing: no place but the floor to eat lunch. Easily solvable by simply putting seats or benches along the wall of the lounge area.
Hosted my parents' anniversary party here with about 115 guests on a hot July night and it was great. We had a huge buffet, a bar, and handful toddlers running around, and no one felt cramped. Plenty of room to spread out. I highly recommend this space if you have 100+ guests to entertain. The website is very basic and they don't answer their phone, so your best bet is to stop by on a weekend when someone is likely preparing for an event.
Very pretty space, good dance floor. "Interesting" acoustics. Don't expect music to sound recognizable here because of the very pronounced echo and "funnel" effects caused by the architecture. In the middle of the floor, a single hand clap can ring and echo for seconds. In some spots you can clearly and loudly hear a whisper uttered in another spot on the floor.
Nice place to dance. A real challenge for a sound tech, or even an all-acoustic performance without sound reinforcement.
Parking is quite a challenge in this neighborhood of Berkeley.
But it's quite a beautiful hall, with a very nice floor. Such floors are getting harder and harder to find.

I used this venue for my baby shower a few months ago. The coordinator of the venue was extremely helpful and made planning for the party easier! The venue is large and priced very well compared to other smaller venues in the area. It has a mini kitchen, clean bathrooms, a dance floor, TV with cable, and not to mention a wonderful view of the lake and fountain. The venue has plenty of parking since it is in the Waugh Chapel shopping center. All my guests were wow'd by the venue and we received plenty of complements on the size. I will be using this venue for future parties!.
Badminton open gym Saturday 9:30 AM - Noon.
A bit of Scandinavia in California. Such a warm environment with the old wooden floors and all the windows that fill the room with light. Charming and excellent for workshops.
I have mixed reviews about this place because it is a BEAUTIFUL space and has/had reasonable prices but the person in charge is horrible. This review is long overdue and something triggered me to look it up and see if there were any reviews yet. Well one of the reviews mirrors what I experienced. I'm praying that by now they have gotten a new Point of Contact person, I also was tempted to see if there was a way for me to run the place but didn't know who I could talk to or complain about Mr. Conyer. For someone who has to constantly deal with people, he has no social skills from what I could tell. Firstly, it took forever to get someone to return my calls/emails and the person that was originally on the site had just left (I'm sure it was because she couldn't deal working with him). Finally I was able to get in touch with him and we set an appointment to look at the space. My sister and I met with him and he was very short and rude with us but I was sold on the space. We were throwing our parents a 50th Anniversary Party and I was excited at what we could do with the space. My sister left everything to me because she didn't want to deal with him. Everytime I contacted Mr. Conyer about something it was as if I was bothering him, closer to the event I had to meet with him to give him the liquor license which was a hassle all in itself. The day before I met with him to get the key to the building as no one would be available or on site the day of the party. The party went well and towards the end someone came by looking for him because they had an event there some weeks back and could not get back in touch with him to get their deposit back. Well unfortunately he wasn't there and we began comparing notes about how bad it was to work with him. At the end of the night we finished cleaning up and I believe left the key somewhere or maybe I mailed it back. Well of course I never got my deposit back either which I am still salty about to this day, but like I said I didn't know who this man reported to and I just wanted to be done with him. I gave it three stars because I love the place but hated working with that man and never got my $250 back. This was in 2013 so I'm praying that by now they have someone new running things, someone who actually likes people and wants to be bothered.
I planned an event with the Village Commons Community Center last June. The customer service was excellent and exceeded my expectations. The room has plenty of space to host a great event. Going through several walk-thru's with the staff I was impressed at the attention to detail that was given to make my event a night to remember. If you are looking for a space to have your event and a place that will meet your needs from space, price, accommodations and customer service, I highly recommended contacting the Village Commons Community Center.
