I cannot recommend the Westclox Event Center enough!! From beginning to end, working with this venue was incredible. We celebrated our wedding here in October 2025 and hosted appro...
ximately 320 guest. The event space did not feel crowded at all with this large of an event. The event Coordinator AVA was seriously INCREDIBLE to work with. Any request, big or small, Ava was on it! From planning to celebrating the night, Ava was so kind, hard-working, efficient, and helpful. The night of the wedding reception went so smooth, and she was a huge contributor to that. The rest of the staff was amazing and so accommodating as well. I would HIGHLY recommend hosting any event at this venue.
