Amazing food! Had the 32 ounce prime rib and was it a feast! Was actually too much food for me,…read moreeven though I was starved silly. I had a choice of sides. It paid to ask, though, as the waitress mentioned an off-menu side, which was a double serving of veggies, my choice. Too bad the veggies were stir fried, as I'd've preferred them just heated up, but they were good, just the same. We inadvertently timed our meal to the mic-check for the band of the night. It was a pretty good band, local to Eugene, not outstanding, but, hey, free, as we'd already been seated before they started charging cover. This place is better than most chain restaurants out there!

The hourly rental rate was very reasonable considering the tables, chairs and recycling was included in the price. We rented dishes for 22 people for $12 and we didn't even have to wash them!! Just rinse and stack in tubs. I highly recommend the space for meetings, get-togethers or just big families who live in small homes. Added bonus is the large kitchen you can rent if needed and lots of easy parking.

I was a guest at a recent wedding held at the Emerald Valley Event Center in Creswell. I have event…read moreplanning experience and that always makes for an interesting perspective versus that of a typical party guest. The exterior of the EVEC main building and interior lobby are a bit outdated in terms of decor. In contrast, the event hall itself is quite lovely and spacious; large sweeping view of the golf course, high ceilings with lots of wooden beams and pretty hanging light fixtures, a moderate sized wooden dance floor; fireplace with stone mantle that serves as a nice backdrop for a ceremony. The event staff was managed well; the servers were attentive and dressed professionally, and handled the changing/re-arranging of the space from ceremony to reception smoothly. The food, I'm sorry to say, was consistent with the general consensus that food at weddings is typically not memorable. As is to be expected with similar venues; to use the EVEC location and space, one most likely needs to use their caterer. While plentiful, the selections and their presentation was unimaginative and the flavor/quality was less than mediocre. The two most effective examples of this gripe would be the GINORMOUS cheese platter and a ridiculously small selection of dark brown or light brown, barely-stale slices of pullman loaf bread, and the crab cakes reeked of fish sauce. So, yes, your guests will enjoy a lovely view, competent staff, and a venue thats good for an indoor party with a nice space, pretty decor, booze and music. Their catering needs work. If I were to rate the food by my Yelp standards, it would be considerably lower than the 3, but who goes to a wedding to review (solely) the food?

I just want to start off by saying I had very high hopes for this to work out for both parties. We…read moremet Jeff at the Oregon Wedding Expo in February. He was very nice the food he presented was very good, the price worked for our budget so we decided to go ahead and book his company for our wedding. I understood that we were booking early so I wasn't too worried about getting things figured for a little while and he'd told me he had other brides that had weddings sooner and needed tending too first. I completely understood. I was being very patient. Well after about a month or so I got an email and phone call from Jeff saying he was ready to start discussing our wedding and getting things going. I was very excited. We told him that we were wanting BBQ for our event for about 40-50 guests. We discussed everything that we wed want on our menu. He told us that he'd need about a week or so to put together a menu and get back to us. OK great sounds good. Looking forward to what you put together for us. Almost 2 weeks go by and we haven't heard anything so I email him and ask if we are still supposed to be receiving the menu. A couple days later he emails back and says hes been sick. OK that's fine but you could have communicated. So once again Im trying to be patient and understanding. ( side note: I have over 15 years front of house/back of house experience) I know how all of this is supposed to go. Im trying to be as respectful and understanding. But I am not a person to hold their had and constantly prompt them to do their job that I'm laying them to do. Well after a couple days we finally receive an email with the menu attached. OK I'm super excited....until I wasn't. After everything wed discussed on the phone and in email about what we wanted none of it was on this menu....he sent me a previous brides menu. And blamed it on the fact that he was sick. OK to me this is a huge ick...You said you'd taken notes of everything we were wanting. Their was emails. Im not sure how you could just completely disregard everything wed discussed and just decided to take the "easy" route and send a previous brides menu which Is nothing of what we wanted. This was very frustrating and made me forsee the future not turning out good for our event. So I sent a lengthy email about everything wed discussed and asking him to please send the appropriate menu wed asked for. I was trying (even though I didn't have to) give him one last chance to do better...instead almost instantly he sends me an email saying he doesn't appreciate how I treated him and he doesn't feel like it'll be a good fit to work on our event. OK that's fine. No sweat off my brow. I more the less just want everyone to know exactly who you are. If the client is actually paying a decent amount of money they deserve the proper vendor to do the job correctly and not have to be consistently prompted. I also don't understand how this catering company is in award winning status. I really hoped he would of done better. I really wanted this to work out. Ultimately anyone in the near future I would not recommend this company if your wanting reliability. ​
