We had The Forum for our daughter’s quinceañera on 8/8/26, and we were very happy with the venue. It was a beautiful place to have an important celebration. The staff was very helpful and easy to work with. They answered all of our questions and were always willing to help us with anything we needed. We really appreciated how accommodating they were and how smoothly everything came together. The bridal room upstairs was a huge bonus for us. Since our daughter had special dances and needed to change and get ready during the event, having a private space right there at the venue made everything so much easier and less stressful. It was very convenient and gave her a comfortable place to get ready. The venue itself was beautiful and gave us plenty of room for our family and friends. Everything looked great. It was the perfect setting for all the special moments throughout the night. We are very grateful to The Forum for allowing us to celebrate our daughter’s quinceañera there. We made so many great memories with our family and friends, and we would definitely recommend The Forum to anyone looking for a beautiful venue for a special event.

Very cool venue to see my friend's art gallery. Loved the building. Was very clean, yet had a pleasant old feel to it. Like a museum. Really enjoyed the experience. There was another event in a neighboring room and my only complaint was the noise level, which was fixed once its door was closed.

I have been here for events before, but am focusing my review on the art exhibits. Love seeing a variety of art for free, and frequently purchase a piece to support an artist. Highly recommend stopping to see the art throughout the year.

Thank you so much for your kind words, Stephanie, and for taking notice of the artwork! We are honored to have a variety of local, regional and even national professional artists that choose to exhibit with us and we love hearing that our guests of the building enjoy the work. Thank you for supporting them and the Arts Council!

I did last minute planning and booking but when it came to a venue in a rush, they helped me with that. It was very affordable and spacious and very clean, they already had a layout so all I had to do was decorate. I definitely will be booking in the future but on time haha. Thank you so much for giving me the ability to throw a party for my deserving son. It was a success.
