We had an amazing experience with The Backstage Event Center! Maren was very helpful with planning each step, and we greatly appreciate working with her! The food was delicious, staff were very friendly and professional. Everything was on an easy to follow itinerary and there were no planning issues. Thank you very much!
AMAZING!! We had our son's rehearsal dinner here last week. Maren and her staff are simply delightful to work with. The place itself is gorgeous. They went above our expectations to make sure our event was perfect in every way. The food was delicious, and we still have people raving about how good and beautiful it was. Bobby did an amazing job, and with the flaming donuts for dessert, just topped it off!! Thank you! I highly recommend this venue for your next event.
The Backstage Event Center was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding. From our very first interaction, the staff was friendly, helpful, and responsive, making the planning process stress-free. Prior to the wedding they worked with us to plan the order of events and helped us plan our vision for decorations. On the day of, they executed our vision flawlessly and made the set up and rehearsal process so easy. Elenya and her team even improvised when we lost the cord to our neon name sign before drop off and they searched everywhere until they found a backup. The Backstage's combination of stunning exposed brick, warm lighting, and flexible layout allowed us to create the perfect ambiance for our special day. The celebration was perfect from start to finish and everyone was on the floor dancing all night. The entire time the event team was there to help, and they even boxed all of our decorations up for an easy pick up the next day. We couldn't have asked for a better venue or team to bring our wedding dreams to life.
Truly the best!!! Our st Patrick’s day wedding was everything and more thanks to this venue. The staff was incredible. Obsessed with the buffet stations and casual bar vibe we had instead of formal seating. They even set up 200 Guinness as our “speciality drink”. Put up a slide show of all our pics around the room. We had a blast and I’m still over the moon about it all nearly a year later. Heather florance photography out of Louisville KY did the photography and can’t recommend her enough as well.
The space is perfect for a great celebration of any type. We celebrated my son's wedding rehearsal dinner here. Everyone had a great time, service was excellent, beer, wine, and liquor selection was great, and the food was delicious. The two patios were amazing for talking and enjoying everyone's company. The mariachi band was an excellent touch, we even had them in the balcony and even the people outside were enjoying the music. Definitely recommend it.
