Reviews of the Wenatchee Convention Centre by the attendees

• “Great place to have an event. The staff here always does a great job setting up and with all of the food.”
• “It was not a bad place and I have been there before for other events. I am not sure of the costs but seemed nice. The only problem I had was that there were no fast food places nearby to duck out and get a quick bite to eat.”

• “Shout out to Mayra & Derrick and the Convention Center staff for making our event a wonderful experience. Using radios to reach staff for help was awesome and should be implemented other places. We used all except two rooms for our 200+ person conference. The ability to change room sizes during intermissions or lunch was fantastic. By going with this facility, we were able to spend more time engaging with our attendees and less time worrying about details. The fact that projectors were provided in every room meant we didn’t have to bring our own. There were several things that helped us, but I reiterate that the staff is the most helpful group that made our event go extremely smooth.”
• “Went to view the trees for the festival of trees. I love to take my family to this free viewing to get us in the holiday spirit.”

• “Very clean and great staff. Their catering services are amazing from display to the quality of and very good food!”
• “Really nice facility with good catering and helpful staff. The rooms are adjustable for size and we’ll be equipped with A/V equipment. They host a church service on Sunday mornings so if your event runs over a Sunday expect to be sharing the halls with bible-thumpers. Feel free to corrupt them for your own amusement.”
