My husband and I chose the Patterson-Appleton Arts Center for our wedding reception. From the very beginning, Rentals and Events Coordinator Brittni was attentive, responsive, and prompt in answering every one of our questions. She gave us a tour of the venue, explained all rental policies, and helped make suggestions when we asked for assistance with our reception layout. It was incredibly easy for us and for our vendors to work with Brittni. Everyone we have met who works at Patterson-Appleton Arts Center is helpful and kind. The space itself is beautiful. The natural light that came through at golden hour was absolutely stunning. The space is bright and big enough to be comfortable for the guests to move around, but just the right size to also feel intimate. We received many compliments on the placement of tables, how easy it was to move around the space, and the overall feel of the venue. The tables and tablecloths were great - it was very helpful that we were able to include the table setup and the tablecloth rental in our contract. It was a great value and worth the ease of mind. The rental of the A/V system was also extremely convenient for our DJ, and the projector rental was perfect for our slideshow. The venue has a dedicated parking lot, and our guests were able to easily find parking. This was important, as we had a lot of out-of-town guests, and our ceremony was at a different location, so many of our guests drove. I would recommend the Patterson-Appleton arts center as a wedding reception venue, or for any dinner event. It exceeded our expectations in every way, and Brittni is awesome!
