“Ok, let's start with the easy stuff. If you are planning ANY kind of event this is the absolute best place to have it. It should be the core of your planning. The place is always immaculate, and the staff extremely professional. You won't find any slackers here! It quickly becomes obvious that the owners, Kirstan and Kathy Gray, (No relation) run a tight ship but they are so warm and friendly that by the time your event is over you feel as if you have just made two new friends. I could go on and on but that would take a multi page pamphlet to describe the place. Suffice it to say that if you are planning ANY event plan it with this place in mind. Six Stars is what I rate them, and I am already planning next year's event here! Oh, I almost forgot to mention. The Price is Right! Their rental prices are outstanding.”

“We had my daughter’s wedding & reception at the Ink House this weekend. I highly recommend this venue as it is beautiful & the staff is exceptional especially Maggie who was so accommodating when overseeing the event. She handled a couple of minor glitches with professionalism & was quick to resolve them. The staff is friendly & amazingly efficient.The only suggestion I would recommend is that the venue needs a larger video screen & needs to add another screen on the other side of the room because no one on the other half of the room could see the videos we were showing.”

“This may have been our “hidden gem” venue of 2023. WOW is all we can say. The outdoor space is beautiful and the indoor space is classy and versatile. The owners were flexible and easy to work with as fellow vendors. As a local balloon company, we had the opportunity to help a bride/groom with wedding decor/photo backdrop and we absolutely loved how it turned out complimented by the already stunning venue! Absolutely recommend this spot for brides and grooms and any event!!”

“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. We were on a fixed budget and discussed at length with Barbie and found a solution that would work for both of us. We had a weekday wedding and had the venue for 7 hours. Able to do a first look, get a bunch of wonderful photos, have a beautiful ceremony, and get some dancing in.

It was the best day of our lives and we couldn’t have chosen a better venue. It would be helpful to have your own day of coordinator but if you have a designated family member/friend present then you should be fine. Between the photographers and Barbie we were able to make our dream day come true.”

“My favorite spot to play bingo and slots. Safe comfortable environment. Staff is awesome. My only delima I have over the 20 yrs I've been playing there is that they have taken away the lottery, and real food. Really your only stuck with popcorn, hot dogs , nachos, chicken strips. All the items most like myself can not eat.”

“We had my daughters 9th birthday here, and we were an absolute mess. We had no idea how many of our huge party (26 people) wanted to bowl and what packages worked best for us. Employees were very helpful and patient with us even though we were a very lively bunch, lol. We had a wonderful time. Definitely will book another party here.”
