We had our wedding reception at the Huron Event Center this past June, and we couldn’t have been more impressed with both the space and the staff. From the very beginning, they communicated clearly and consistently throughout the entire planning process, which made everything feel smooth and stress-free. On the day of the reception, their team was organized, attentive, and truly wonderful to work with. They offered a selection of table décor and place settings in various colors, which made it easy to match our vision. Their experience really showed when they helped us with the space layout and design ideas. They provided thoughtful suggestions that made the room function perfectly for our guests and all the decorations we had. There was plenty of space for everything we wanted, including a large dance floor that kept our guests dancing all night, while still allowing comfortable seating and room to move around. The food was another highlight. They had a wide selection of menu options for both dinner and cocktail hour, and we received many compliments from our guests about how delicious everything was. Many of our guests also mentioned how friendly and professional the staff and bartenders were, which meant so much to us. Overall, we had an incredibly positive experience at the Huron Event Center and are so grateful to the entire team for helping make our wedding day so special and memorable.
