The location is easy to get to, there is plenty of parking, the staff is amazing to work with and the indoor space is great! I have seen both of the large rooms set up for "ordinary" meetings & events, and also transformed into beautiful wedding venues.

If you need any event to go off without a hitch, pick the Makoy Center. They were able to provide so much more than what other venues offered at a great price. The staff (especially Matt Clay and Stephanie) were wonderful: friendly, thorough, super flexible, went the extra mile, patient every step of the way. Best food ever too, especially the au gratin potatoes! Our wedding went perfectly, and maybe I’m biased because it was mine, but it was the best wedding I’ve ever attended. I would give more stars if I could! Thanks guys :)

I have hosted a few events at the Makoy Center including my own wedding reception in the Emerald Room. I will always refer people looking for a full service venue here. Matt and Clay and their entire team are responsive professionals who are thoughtful and have always gone out of their way to meet our needs or accommodate special circumstances. They have always been fully invested in our experience there at the venue and we've always been beyond pleased. The food and service are always 5 star and the property itself is well maintained and decorated. I cannot say enough wonderful things about the Makoy Center. Highly recommend.

My husband and I hosted our wedding at the Makoy Center and it was the most magical night of our lives. Our ceremony was held outside and the reception was in the Emerald room. Between the ambiance of the Emerald room and the creative touch of our wedding planners the room was beautiful and elegant.The entire experience was awesome. The staff was helpful and easy to work with and the food was phenomenal! We highly recommend considering to host your next event here!
