Columbia Metropolitan Convention Center

Tonight was my first time attending an event in our beautiful convention center. I have lots of great feedback for anyone considering an event here! First of all, there's plenty of well lit, free parking. I thought it was overall a very lovely event venue! The entire venue feels nice and spacious with soaring ceilings, modern architecture and a sophisticated style. There were multiple events going on this evening, including a dance competition, which I fully anticipated being a noise interference. The event I attended was upstairs and spanned half of the upstairs space. I was pleasantly surprised that noise interference from other events was a non-issue! Every area we explored was spotless and the staff members were all professional, friendly and helpful. The restrooms were beautiful with no sign of trash in sight. The appetizers were yummy, the flow was uncongested, and everything was kept incredibly clean and free of clutter from empty glassware. Once the doors opened for dinner, my husband and I were the first to enter the banquet room. I thought everything looked fantastic and perfectly planned. Bravo to the prep team and event staff!! We enjoyed an absolutely delightful dining room experience. The tables, décor, place settings, lighting and music volume were all just right if not perfect. We had sweet tea, water, salads, bread and dessert on the table upon arrival. Tables were set for 8 and the chairs were plenty comfortable with no arms. Our food temperature was on-point and I thought everything was delicious. I would definitely recommend to orhers for business purposes! Great job to the entire event management and staff. Y'all are doing a noticeably wonderful job!
