My daughter got married out of state in October and wanted to have a reception here in Boise for family and friends. We chose The Lounge at the End of The Universe at Gem Center for the Arts. The venue was perfect for what we wanted. The price was great, we were able to bring our own caterer, and a bar was provided. The area was plenty big enough for the 50 or so people we had. It could have held even more. I would highly recommend it!

We had our wedding there and had tons of fun, staff were all super helpful and made our day much easier!

In Feb 2022, I had the arduous task of creating a surprise birthday party for a sibling from out of state. Although, we had a small gathering 23 of the 26 guests were flying in. Everything had to be adjusted and scheduled it was a wonderful experience. Jen has nerves of steel and the ability to put together a wonderful experience. In the end I felt owed her hazard pay for having to put up with my panicky texts and calls. The staff was amazing too, from the bar staff to the av staff they were attentive and responsive to needs of all attendees.

This was the best place for my birthday gala! The venue was large enough for all my guests, while still providing for good conversation areas. They coordinated well with my caterer, and my guests greatly appreciated the well-stocked bar. I’m very grateful for their assistance with getting my decorations in place, and especially with linking my playlist to the sound system. If you book your event at the Lounge at the End of the Universe at Gem Center for the Arts, you will be very happy!

I held my 55th Birthday Gala at the Lounge at the End of the Universe at the Gem Center for the Arts. It was absolutely the perfect choice! The venue was large enough for all of my guests to sit down to enjoy our catered meal, with enough space for dancing and socializing. The bar added that extra touch of fun. I very much appreciated all the assistance with setting up—including hanging decorations from the ceiling. Jen was so helpful throughout the process and coordinated well with my caterer, and walked me through planning my first major event. I cannot recommend Gem Center for the Arts highly enough!

Thank you for your accommodations! These guys were prepared in every way!
