The only reason why I am giving this place a 1 star is because I need to select something. We just…read morehad a wedding at this venue. And although the room itself was very nice, most of the staff was not. Most of the staff was inadequately trained and/or very unfriendly. We had several issues with the staff throughout the night from the lack of service, to the grossly over-priced drinks not to mention the difficulty to even get service. I would not recommend this location to anyone.

Let's just start with I am not the type of person to write a bad review BUT…read more.. I would 100% not recommend working with the folks who run this event center. The center itself has great potential in the beautiful town of Brookings. Unfortunately, my sisters wedding had many many issues that are still trying to be resolved. (Her wedding was June 11....) First of all, the event center was dirty when we got there to set up on Friday. We were told to decorate around it and it was get vacuumed that evening (spoiler alert: it did not...) My dad, stepdad, and several of my sisters GUESTS had to come into the dirty event center to clean the morning of the wedding and move tables and chairs that the staff said would get moved. The food we had was refrigerator cold... the whole head table ate cold pasta. We heard from several other guests that the food was cold or lukewarm at best. None of the tables were bussed/cleaned. The head table still had our dirty plates, cups, and FOOD on the table the next morning... then when my sister brought up this issue the owners insinuated that the tables were "mostly cleaned" and she was making stuff up (she has photos.) A piece of wood trim fell off of the wall and hit a CHILD. My sister and her husband were basically called liars for bringing up the several issues they endured on the night of their wedding. They had an absolutely beautiful day in Brookings and they wouldn't change it for the world, but at this time I would suggest finding a more customer service friendly location to host your wedding!

Ample space to peruse through all the varieties. There's a stage for performances. This space looked to be an old indoor gymnasium with basketball hoops still in tact. Double doors for entry and exit, no need to be in anyone's way or vice versa. Large windows line the walls of the venue. Small parking lot across the street as well as ample parking along Main Ave.

Cleaning staff was efficient and friendly. I stayed for eight days on business had to check out at 2 am, picked up my bill and flew out only to find out I was overcharged by a day.
