I had to delete my first review, as it was for a different business…read more I have however attended a wedding at this venue, and let me just say, it is beautiful. This place is a little hard to find. But plenty of parking space!! It's decorated so nice and it's SO clean. I wish I had gotten more photos of everything, the place was HUGE and workers were very nice and attentive! The rooms for the groom and bride were spacious as well, if you're looking for a venue for an event, I would definitely recommend this place!

Link to their…read morewebsite: http://www.horseshoeknoteventcenter.com/home.html Fair warning: A trail of dust will follow as you navigate the country roads. To tell the truth, I was surprised certain wedding attendees made it on time since it's so secluded. Lol. My cousin and his long time significant other finally recently got married here. It was perfect for their laidback lifestyles. The bride's mother - who is a friend of mine - and their family all enjoyed planning their event and working with the employees here. The ceremony took place outside at the gazebo. Guests found their seats on wooden benches. Soon after, the party started in the barn a short walk away... a few chandeliers, rustic interior, and beautiful decorations adorned the space. The restrooms were always very clean and tidy. The bartenders, provided by Horseshoe, were friendly and quick. Security was also provided by Horseshoe, but I was a bit taken aback by uniformed sheriff deputies. Nonetheless, no one got kicked out or arrested, not even my rowdy husband. Overall, this is a charming place for a wedding venue or a special event. Highly recommended. '18 Challenge #28

Food was awful: chicken was dry and tasteless, macaroni-and-cheese tasted like a box mix,…read moredefinitely not homemade, scalloped potatoes were bland tasteless (no salt/pepper shakers were available), cupcakes were dry. Definitely the worst wedding food we've had. We talked about how bad it was all the way home. The servers wear cut-off blue jean shorts & t-shirts, for a wedding. They started picking up the table runners before the wedding was even over, which caused a drink that someone had left on our table to spill all over my glasses which were on the table. We were standing right there, but she did it so quickly that we didn't have time to offer to pick them up. Then when she saw that they were ours (we picked them up and were shaking them off), she just kept going like it was our fault. No apology.

We set up & decorated early a.m. for our wedding & staff were available when caterers & bands set to make the set up seamless & stress free! Inside the venue, it is beautifully warmly strung with lights from the rafters & two rustic style, gorgeous chandeliers! The main space is expansive as we easily entertained & seated about 150 guests with plenty of space to dance, eat & sip libations!!! There is a adorable back bar area to serve guests from! Outside there are multiple cocktail tables & ample space if you want to get hitched outside! A multitude of picturesque spots & inclusive of an antique red, remodeled pick up!! There is a separate cute building with a fireplace to convene as well. They set up the tables & chairs & take these down & clean up. Price point is very reasonable for inclusions. We had the wedding of our dreams & largely attributed to Cotton Creek!

Every table is a small with four seats, which makes it harder to mingle and get to know other people. My biggest complaint is the food and service; the beef was mostly burnt chunks, the sausage was bland, the tortillas were dry, and insisting that one person serve from two meat trays for 500+ people made it take forever. They had to start the program while half the people were still in line so that the schedule for the whole night wouldn't be thrown off. They even made a big deal about forming two lines and going down both sides of the table, but Chuck had to mete out the burnt beef, weird tortillas, and nameless sausage one person at a time. Then, after serving yourself beans, corn, and potatoes, the peach cobbler was pre-portioned in servings of about three tablespoons! And it was cold. Worst "Texas BBQ" I have ever had, even compared to other event centers. Staff came through while the kids were doing awards and took plates, even though some of them had barely started eating. I will never recommend 4BarK as a location for an organizational event. Two stars because none of the staff was actively rude. P.S. The restrooms are labeled as "Stables" and are about that nice - gentlemen might as well go urinate on the barn wall out back.

My brothers and I threw a surprise party at the Longhorn Party Pad in honor of my mom's 70th…read morebirthday on April 20, 2024. It's located on the north side of Hobbs, NM. I was concerned about the possible lack of parking, but there ended up being plenty. I reserved this fairly large facility from 3PM to midnight for a charge of $960 due upon arrival. A $100 deposit was required for a cleanup fee. If your group cleans up, the deposit is returned. Overall, my group of about 50 guests had a great time and was impressed, however, it was not without a few pitfalls. There are several ways to bring this place from good to great & I'm rooting for them because I want this husband/wife duo to do well: - the lone bathroom! The toilet is raised with a steep step which was not user-friendly even for my athletic 5'6" body much less for my handicapped aunt. She went home early due to this. - several tables & chairs were not in good working condition - weird wood piece on the wall that prevented the fridge from shutting nicely - the arcade games devoured everyone's quarters! Lol. - as an owner, I would supply a list of policies and infractions for renters along with consequences. Everything told to me was verbal. I don't have THAT much faith in humanity even with cameras on the premises and the owners living next door. A contract would keep both sides honest. - last, but certainly not least, it was difficult to understand just exactly what was included in the reservation price due to the owner opting to text instead of call. I'm a so-called millennial, but I hate text messaging. So I relied heavily on my Facebook photo investigative skills to determine certain information. PROS + bluetooth speaker + toilet paper & paper towels + alcohol allowed + separate party rooms + fridge/freezer + microwave + TVs + arcade game room + playground set + basketball hoop + sand volleyball court + foldout tables & chairs + outdoor lighting + 2 bounce houses (weather permitting for one of them) + ample parking + several trash cans & extra liners I'd do a few things differently, but my mom had a special time and that's what mattered.
