I recently attended a family wedding here. The entrance for the guests was on the side of the…read morebuilding into the backyard. The whole place was surrounded by greenery. There was also a koi pond. One area was just for the ceremony. Another area had tables set up for dinner. Inside, there was a room with a small cocktail bar with bartenders and charcuterie boards for cocktail hour. The connecting room had the dance floor, two long tables, a few small tabletops, and access to the bathrooms. The ceremony was difficult to hear, as there was no microphone or sound system. I think a mic is necessary, especially when there's a large crowd. The backyard looked nice at night with lights lit up all around. I did get bit by mosquitoes three times. It had been a rainy couple of days, so that made sense. They had cans of bug spray on the tabletops outside, which I didn't see until it was too late. Dinner was served buffet style, so every table took turns going inside to get food. Note on refrigerated items: The refrigerator on site is a standard top/bottom fridge. So I recommend asking about the dimensions ahead of time because we didn't have room for both the cakes and bottles of champagne.

We were in search of a venue to host our wedding reception. We visited the Firehouse Event Center…read morePeoria and really liked the ambience and layout of the venue. We were contacted by Joty a couple weeks before our scheduled event. She was extremely helpful with putting the finishing touches on our decor. My wife performed a mock setup and took pictures at home. We dropped the items off the week of the reception. We were short a few items and Joty was able to accommodate us by getting the extra items ordered. Joty then setup the tables per pictured layout perfectly!!!! The reception was on point and Joty ensured our timeline was followed, which allowed us to enjoy our celebration with the family. From the coordination to the food and drinks, Joty did an excellent job!!! The servers and bartender were awesome too! and did a great job at ensuring all the guests were taken care of. We highly recommend the Firehouse Event Center Peoria for any large group celebrations, office parties, etc. We will definitely keep them in our books for our future celebrations. Thank you Joty for making our reception memorable.

The owners were so friendly and kind and helped with the setup before the event began. They stayed engaged throughout the event too. The catered dinner and dessert are so delicious. I didn't take pictures because I believe every event they host has a customized menu. The drink selection (for a work event) is spot on. There were plenty of free parking spaces out front. Very clean; love the natural sunlight that came through. The holiday decorations were just right. I would highly recommend this place to anyone who's looking for a place to host a work function.

My favorite part of the venue is all the professional DJ lighting in each of the rooms. This would've cost us $$$$ for our DJ to provide, and yet it was provided with the cost of the venue. If you're looking for a flexible, spacious, venue this is it! I would absolutely host my next event here.

Professional , the stafff keep you and your guest happy and keep schedule / time management on track (Guest Entrance , special moment , cake , etc). My husband and I had visited a majority of event halls in west Phoenix Area , all are very pretty , but were missing space, never called back and were stuffed with tables and chairs. NOT Legend they call you back and get you scheduled to meet and view their venue right away , right when you walk in its jaw dropping and placement of sections are well placed and have amazing flow !!!! (Section included bar, guest seating , desert table , dance floor , back room, daycare, two different areas for bathrooms ) . With the Pros there are cons I recommend right from start let them know if you need an English or Spanish planning your party assistance when doing the contract they will lean towards Spanish due to hall surrounding and kind of get a little attitude if you don't speak both or Spanish. Hall Double Books - they double book their venue (two separate venues in building possibly three ) this can cause issues parking areas, guest getting mixed up with halls, but more importantly guest counting (Note: ALL venues guest count) venues are very strict on counting your guest to make sure you only have contract amount if not they'll charge per extra guest and that amount changes. This part is definitely unfair on all venue part cause they count who enters , and not on who actually seating or how many ppl come and go during the event. Office Staff changes frequently so if you're promised something at contract or during the months of planning with them make sure it's in writing on your contract, initialed, and dated (Legend give you a book to help keep track of everything as a team) . If it doesn't say it on the contract and their promise to additional request last page of the contract. The DJ comes with your contract , but he does NOT MC so make sure to get one to announce your court. Givr him dealt schedule for when you want fog, projector , sparkles to come on. He forgot to do our during the father and daughter dance. The chief food is really good , but make sure you do the food tasting and get your menu written down and signed by both you and chief at time of tasting otherwise he'll forget . My cons are only things that I recommend you watch for throughout your planning process not deal breakers. This place is amazing. I would definitely have another event at venue or recommend the hall to others!!!! The hall treated our guest above and beyond ! Our guest loved the place and staff that help make the day so special and fun.

Great indoor space with dining on both sides of a stage/DJ/dance floor area right in the middle. The waitstaff was located at the North end and they were working very hard to make sure guests had drinks, appetizers, and their main dishes. They cleaned up quickly and quietly as guests were finished with their items. Dessert items were neatly displayed on tiered shelves at one end of the room. The tables looked very fancy, and it really felt like an important gala at our friend's company Christmas party. In the rather large outdoor space, there were a few tables so adults could be closer to their kids as they played in two large bounce houses or took photos at a cool inflatable selfie booth. They had really nice soft outdoor lighting with strands of bulbs crisscrossing the space. Conveniently located right next to Grand Ave this event center is wonderful and we're hoping to be back for a party or reception in the near future.

The vendors were able to set up early as the planning committee I worked with settled in. My husband and I were the emcees for the night, so we got to see the entire event. All the attendees really liked the food, and all extra was packaged for us to bring home! They also had security onsite inside AND OUTSIDE during the event. The one inside was very attentive, because at one point he turned on an additional ceiling fan. The process was seamless with Doug. Him and his team did an amazing job for us!
