A baby shower like no other!…read more As someone who works in the event industry, I am a part of hundreds of events every year and have high standards when it comes to production, details, and guest experience and Hosted by Hogan exceeded every single one of them. Our baby party was not a simple shower. We had layered interactive elements, custom design pieces, and sentimental keepsakes woven throughout the event and Jenn handled it all with creativity, organization, and calm confidence. One of my favorite details was our activity station featuring a custom paint-by-numbers portrait of the two of us. After the event, she actually took it home, added the finishing touches, and framed it for us. It is now a keepsake we'll have forever. We also had a "Baby's First ABC Book" station where guests completed individual pages. Jenn had the entire book professionally bound afterward, turning what could have been loose papers into a beautifully finished heirloom. Those kinds of thoughtful follow-through details are what separate a good planner from a truly exceptional one. The design was cohesive, the logistics were seamless, and the experience felt effortless for us and our guests. I genuinely can't recommend Hosted by Hogan enough especially if you want an event that feels elevated, intentional, and personal. She's so thoughtful and creative. We are so grateful to have had her plan such a special night.

Hiring Jenn Hogan from Hosted by Hogan was hands-down one of the best decisions we made. From the initial consultation to the final execution, we were blown away. Jenn truly thrives on the creative side and never misses a beat when it comes to the details. She took our ideas and elevated them into a fun, thoughtfully designed celebration that guests of all ages enjoyed. No matter your budget, Jenn has an incredible ability to make an event feel special and intentional. She only partners with the highest-quality vendors, and we were beyond grateful for the time, care, and effort she put into helping us celebrate our little one. Thank you, Jenn, for making our son's first birthday so memorable. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and highly recommend Hosted by Hogan to anyone looking to create a truly unforgettable event. If you are in need of a creative mind for your next event, reach out to Jenn Hogan! https://www.instagram.com/hosted_by_hogan?igsh=MTNzbmpodTRsdGRtZA==

Let start off with the "Day of " Actual Event staff (Host , bartender, waiting staff, setup and…read moretake down , cleaning crew, security) are amazing ! 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.

Fantastic venue for any large event or gathering. We were in the West side of the center and never…read moreheard anything from the other event going on right next door to the East. 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.
