Experienced and Compassionate

My experience with Trigger was beyond amazing. From e-mail correspondence to consultation to the day of event setup, Scott was attentive, shared much-needed resources and insight to help me bring my vision to life. When I needed to make last minute adjustments due to not having as many guests as intended, he was flexible and shared ways to cut costs and tripled as space owner, event coordinator and life coach through my troubles. I look forward to working with him again.

A top notch experience

Trigger is an incredible event venue that wowed our party guests of all ages. It is a unique and huge space and perfect for the quinceañera event we hosted. Scott is beyond professional and helpful and made our special night run smoothly.

The best wedding!

Our wedding at Trigger was absolutely perfect. From the space, to what they have available, to the how well and accessible they have designed everything, I could not recommend it more. What I appreciated the most was Scott's (the owner) calm and excited attitude. Everyone always tells you weddings are going to be so stressful, but planning everything with and at Trigger just felt FUN.
