From the reviews

Great staff. Been here a few times to do hair for weddings. Great place to have wedding ceremonies & reception.

★★★★★ — Shelly, Oct 2022

We loved this venue from the beginning! It’s a beautiful space and all of the people we worked with made our day flow seamlessly. Barbie and Shelly were so helpful, informative, and hospitable. We really enjoyed our day and are so happy we chose this space.

★★★★★ — Nichole, Oct 2024

My fiancé and I toured a lot of venues, and none of them were what we were looking for or in our price range. Then we toured Your Event Space with Barbie and fell in love with the venue. As well as their hotel down the road.

★★★★★ — Kristina, Apr 2024

Just had my wedding there on the 3rd!! Your Event Space is the perfect place to have weddings, parties or even just a small gathering. Barbie did an amazing job at hosting and helped me out in everything I needed. There is plenty of space to hold all your loved ones.

Getting married at Your Event Space (Formerly WOW Event Center)

Your Event Space (Formerly WOW Event Center) comes up for weddings, going by their listing and couples’ reviews. Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see it at the time of day you'd actually get married — a barn that glows at golden hour can feel very different at noon, and you'll want to walk the path your guests take from parking to ceremony to reception. Second, bring your real questions: the rain plan (where does the ceremony move?), the catering and bar policy, the music curfew, and exactly what's included with the rental — tables, chairs, setup, and teardown are where quotes quietly diverge. Popular dates at barn venues book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
