Don't do it. Stay as far away from this venue as you can. They are terrible at responding to you, they do not care about you at all and the food was terrible. My day was almost ruined- they kicked me out of my dressing room before I was finished getting ready! I didn't even have my dress on. They did this to my husband as well. They didn't care. They made us put everything on a cart and move to a small hallway. Terry was extremely rude to myself and mom throughout the whole process. The food was disgusting and my guests even said something about it. It was cold, the chicken was chewy and the steak was over cooked. Please do your self a favor and stay as far away from this venue as you can.

Hi,
I believe I responded to you on another platform but I wanted to reach out on here as...
well. We are very sorry to hear about your experience. We have strengthened our management team and have a fantastic new Food & Beverage manager to ensure that every plate that leaves our kitchen is of the highest quality. We are committed to not only meeting our guests needs but exceeding them! Again, we are sorry that you did not enjoy your time with us but hope you may consider Cabarrus Arena & Events Center for future events.

My fiancé and I chose the Cabarrus Arena and Events Center to host our rehearsal dinner and wedding reception. We could not be more happy with our decision. The Arena staff was accommodating and helpful to my groom and I, as well as guests.
Patsy was wonderful to work with from day one, helping me make all the arrangements for our big day. She recommended vendors for entertainment and bakeries to help during the planning process. She took care of communicating and organizing with setup and deliveries with vendors during the last few days before our wedding. I have never felt so supported and having her there made the planning process and our wedding day run smoothly.
When searching for venues, I struggled with finding somewhere to accommodate a large number of guests and not be difficult to work with. I was pleased to learn that the Cabarrus Arena manages all food and beverage on site. This was one less vendor I had to juggle!
Barry and the food and beverage staff prepared the most amazing meal for all 200 of our wedding guests. The variety of food and beverage options allowed Josh and I to select two completely different meal options for our rehearsal dinner and our reception. Barry was flexible with menu and guest number changes throughout the planning process, making suggestions and recommendations as we explored all our menu options.
Our wedding reception was wonderful, we arrived early from the ceremony, but the Cabarrus Arena and staff were able to quickly adapt and make the necessary changes without the bride and groom having to stress out about anything! My groom and I had plated dinners served to us as our guests enjoyed a delicious buffet. The cleanup was wonderful and professional as staff cleared tables when our guests finished their meals. Our wedding cake was cut and plated by staff allowing guests to enjoy the evening without any worries.
I could not have asked for a better wedding venue. If you are looking for amazing coordination and staff to make your big day memorable, choose the Cabarrus Arena! The quality of service cannot be topped. Thank you to all who made our wedding rehearsal dinner, and wedding reception perfect!
Love,
Nichole and Josh Cook

We had our reception at Cabarrus Arena & Event Center. From day one Patsy Brown was courteous and a joy to work with. Our reception was perfect and flawless due to the hard work of Patsy and Barry Kaplish and their supporting staff. On the day of Patsy made sure everything went smoothly and that all my needs were being met. The food was delicious and plentiful. My guests are still raving about the venue, the staff and the food. Thank you so much to the staff at Cabarrus Arena & Event Center for such a memorable and perfect reception. Latitia Grimes

I LOVE Patsy and Barry!
I actually won my wedding reception area at the Carolina Bridal Fair and I just had my wedding and rehearsal dinner there about a week ago! Even though I won the area, they treated me the exact same (if not better ;) )
Both of them were always just an e-mail away and were always there for me when I needed them!
The food was also AMAZING!! We got so many compliments on the dinner!!
I could have have asked for a better wedding and I am so grateful to Patsy and Barry for making it such a memorable experience for me!!
Love,
Sarah and Steven Walters

Cabarrus Areana and Events Center worked out great!Barry, Chad, Patsy could NOT have been more important to our Rehearsal Dinner and Wedding plans given their critical roles in the wedding weekend. Due to their availability, extreme flexibility, experience, genuine interest in our event, and skills at dealing with last minute obstacles, our wedding weekend for Steven and Sarah was memorable and successful! Additionally, Frank and Fred chipped in with ideas and help unsolicited that also smoothed preparations out. Not only did the venue in this serene location turn out to be better than expected, we had some tough critics in our group and they raved unsolicited about the food all weekend....A+++ Thanks, we don't get a second chance for this wedding, really appreciate all your ideas, insights, feedback that kept this on the right track. David and Janice

The Arena staff (reception and catering) went above and beyond to make our day special. The food received amazing accolades from our guests (we did not do dessert), and the facilities were set up wonderfully as we had requested. It was a little warm in the lobby area where the bar was, but very comfortable in the reception hall.
We looked at various venues, and this by far exceeded our expectations for the cost. We did bring our own decorations to spruce things up, but we can't say enough about this place!
