Client Testimonials
“The Gillespie Center was the perfect vendor for our daughter’s wedding! With help from Noor, LeAnn, and their staff, the day was incredible! They helped with every step of the reception planning, and did everything that needed to be done for setup and tear-down on the wedding day. The food was spectacular! To have the hotel accommodations available to our guests in the same building was very nice. We were extremely pleased with the Gillespie Center and would recommend them to anyone planning an event.”
“We experienced the most outstanding service from the staff again this year. They continually outdo themselves. I am so glad we will be having our future Safety Expos here. Great job staff!!”
“We celebrated our daughter’s wedding here. Noor and Bobby and Chef Josh created an environment that was welcoming, beautiful and fun. They were careful and safe, flexible and responsive to our many different special requests. The food was delicious, the space was wonderful – including the patio, and the bartenders and waitstaff couldn’t be more helpful and accommodating. It all exceeded our expectations in every way – just a wonderful day and evening.”
“My daughter had her wedding reception here recently. Best place to have a wedding! Nice, professional, and super competent people. They did a wonderful job and thought of things we hadn’t even considered. Everyone worked tirelessly. Most people came back to work for the breakfast we held the morning after. They couldn’t have had much sleep, yet they were personable and provided great service! Noor, Leeann, and all the coordinating staff ( so sorry I don’t know all your names) did a great job coordinating with all the vendors. I felt EVERYONE that worked here had a personal interest in making sure our wedding was perfect. Thank you.”
“My husband and I had our reception at the Gillespie Center and I can’t tell you how absolutely perfect and amazing it was to have it here. From working with Noor, to catering to the front desk staff, this is the place to hold all of your wedding needs! We had so many compliments after our big day about how great the space was! Noor was incredibly helpful, generous and willing to work with us during a global pandemic and was MORE than accommodating. I didn’t have to worry about a thing on my wedding day and it turned out so incredibly beautiful. I can’t thank the Gillespie center enough for the most perfect day that we had. If you are debating on where to have your reception, this is the place to have it!”
“What an amazing job they did!!! Everything was perfect. We had worked with two coordinators there, Noor and LeAnn, and they both were so helpful! From setting up all the table decorations the night before to making sure everything was in the right spot at the right time, they truly did such amazing work. The venue was beautifully decorated. The service was great. The food was delicious. We couldn’t have been happier with how everything turned out. It was absolutely perfect! We are so happy with our decision to have our wedding reception here. 100% would recommend.”

“Very nice venue for the large birthday party we attended. Excellent food and service. There was a wedding reception going on simultaneously in the adjacent hall. No problem! Plenty of parking for all.”
“The food, drinks, hors d’oeuvres and desserts were all exceptional. Noor was an excellent event planner and provided courteous, prompt service. Monte, our bartender also did an excellent job. All of the wait staff were efficient and did an outstanding job. I’ll be doing other events there in the future.”

“It’s been almost a month since my wedding, and my husband and I are still in awe of how amazing everything was! Our experience with The Gillespie Center was truly 12/10! From start to finish, everything was seamless and exceeded our expectations. Even our guests are still complimenting us on what a wonderful wedding it was — many have mentioned how much they loved the food catered by the venue. Working with Allison, the Special Event Sales Manager, was an absolute dream — she was organized, kind, and went above and beyond to make sure every detail was perfect. The Gillespie is truly blessed to have her on their team. We couldn’t have imagined a better place to celebrate our wedding!”
“Had our wedding ceremony and reception there on 9/28/25! One word- PHENOMENAL. Allison and her team did an extraordinary job at making our day special. The venue has literally everything you could possibly need or want. Every time I needed or wanted something- the response was always “yeah we can definitely do that!”! You can tell they know what they’re doing and do it well. Worth every penny.”
“We had our wedding reception at the Gillespie and everything was perfect! The ballroom was beautiful and the staff were so kind and friendly. The food was great and they set up and cleaned up everything for us. 10/10 recommend!”
“My wife and I truly don’t have words about how amazing the staff were for our daughter’s wedding this past weekend. Allison who got us all started off, Noor who ran the event along with Bobby the catering manager all did such an amazing job. They were attentive to our every need in order to hold an Orthodox Jewish wedding. I highly recommend using the Gillespie Conference Center for all of your wedding and Catering needs. You will be happy that you did!”
“We truly couldn’t have imagined a more magical wedding day, and so much of that is thanks to the incredible team at Gillespie Conference Center, especially Allison. From a year out all the way through the big day, her communication, attention to detail, and calm, reassuring presence made the entire planning process feel seamless. The venue itself was absolutely stunning and everything we dreamed of. Combined with the beautiful floral work by Polly (Poppies) and the music, lighting, and ambiance brought to life by Shawn and Jessica Saros (ProShow), it all came together for a day that felt completely perfect. We’re so grateful to everyone who helped make it happen, We truly had a vendor dream team and cannot recommend Gillespie enough!”
