Avalon Events Center Reviews

As a professional wedding officiant (Officiant Amber), I have officiated at dozens of locations, so I know that The Avalon in Fargo is a great choice for couples looking for a variety of sizes of rooms and/or styles.

Their team is well-organized, and the space is clean and welcoming.

Leah is great to work with and is very personable. I would highly recommend the Avalon!

Leah and the whole Avalon staff are so amazing. They are all so accommodating and willing to help with anything. My husband and I had our reception in the Millennium ballroom with the added balcony for extra space. It fit all our friends and family with plenty of space to dance and mingle! We have friends and family that still talk about our reception even after 8 months and we can’t help but give some credit to the Avalon for providing such an amazing environment.

Leah was great to work with and we got so many compliments on the food and venue! Appreciated the responsiveness and care taken in helping us get ready for our big day!

We had I believe the medium sized ball room. We had around 150-200 guests! We had absolutely no issues and the Food and the Space we used was absolutely PERFECT! The taco bar was amazing and the desserts we had were the little cheesecake bites and I would recommend them to everyone!

i was short on time and money and theses guys went above and beyond to make sure that my day was made special.

We made a great choice choosing the Avalon for our wedding reception venue! Planning a wedding during a pandemic is not exactly easy, but Leah and the rest of the Avalon staff made the day absolutely stress free. The manager and Leah checked in with us several times during our event to make sure everything was going smoothly. Leah made sure to be in close communication with all of our vendors so that everyone was on the same page prior to the wedding as well as the day of the event. We had so many compliments from our guests on how beautiful the venue was as well as how friendly/helpful the staff were. I can’t thank the Avalon enough for making our wedding reception perfect and stress free!

We had our wedding and ceremony at The Avalon in June 2021. We were originally supposed to get married in November 2020, but like so many others, we decided to push it back due to the pandemic. We worked with Leah throughout the entire process and she was OUTSTANDING! I have never met someone so organized! The planning process was effortless because The Avalon took care of everything. It’s a gorgeous venue and requires minimal decorating. All we had to do was pick out the food. Which by the way is absolutely amazing! Their entire menu was delicious and they have quite a few options to choose from as well. Leah never missed a beat throughout the whole process and she was always there to help when it was needed. I am so thankful that my wedding day was flawless and I couldn’t have done it without Leah and her team!

The Avalon is an exceptional venue to work with. I always look forward to doing events and working with the staff here.

Leah and the rest of the wedding staff at The Avalon were absolutely incredible! We didn't expect to have to plan our wedding during a pandemic, let alone actually HAVE our wedding during a pandemic, but all along Leah was SO reassuring and accommodating. The food was AMAZING, there were Covid protocols in place that didn't feel super restrictive but made our guests feel comfortable, and everyone there went above and beyond to make our day go on without a hitch! I can't imagine having our wedding with any other vendor or staff!

We chose the Avalon for our July 2020 Wedding Venue. We both loved the look and feel of the ballroom for our reception venue! Due to Coronavirus we were unsure of what was to happen that day or if we would have to postpone. Luckily we were able to upgrade to the Millennium Ballroom and hold the ceremony and reception all in that same room! Leah was wonderful to work with as well as all the staff at the Avalon! The food was terrific and our guests commented lots on how much they enjoyed it too. After we heard our limo had broken down the Avalon came to the rescue to drive us around for pictures! Everything went so smoothly I couldn’t have asked for anything better! Thank you so much to Leah and the rest of the Avalon staff for making our day so wonderful! I would definitely recommend the Avalon to anyone looking for wedding venues :)!

The staff at the Avalon has been amazing! Times were very uncertain during COVID-19 but Leah kept constant communication and reassured me with my million questions. Great organization and communication were key to me and the Avalon has both! Our guests had nothing but good things to say. If we had to replan our wedding, we would 100% do it at the Avalon again!

We celebrated our daughter's Quinceanera at Avalon in July 2020. Leah was an excellent resource, she gave us ideas and exceeded our expectations. She is fabulous! The manager and the staff that worked the night of the event were very attentive and supplied all our needs. If I have to do another event, I would absolutely choose Avalon and their excellent staff again.

Had a work event at this venue and everything was spot on. Not one issue, and we were constantly impressed with the value we received. Would highly recommend this venue.

Our wedding was last Saturday 8/18/18, at the Avalon Events center. It was Beautiful!! They were so accommodating to everything. Staff were always going the extra mile. Thank you all!!

Everyone who worked our wedding from start of planning, to the mixology session, to answering questions and planning out the venue, to lighting candles and setting our dessert table up, to during the wedding and even after the wedding have been phenomenal. We had a plated meal with open seating but everyone still got their food with no delays. Even with a little more than 200 guests, our food tasted amazing! The beef was perfectly cooked and juicy, chicken was tasty (yum that sauce), and even their vegetarian option was to die for (some of my friends have asked for the recipe). We left some stuff at the Avalon on accident and they were nice to hold it for us (even though it's been 3 weeks). Loved having the Avalon as our wedding venue! I would definitely recommend it to everyone!

Wow!!! My husband and I had our wedding ceremony and reception at the Avalon and let me tell you they were absolutely amazing from the first time we stepped foot in there before we knew we would book there all the way up to the point we hopped in the shuttle to take us to the hotel after the reception. The staff had helped us with our booking from day one and always made us feel as though we were in good hands. Not only was the staff professional throughout the entire process but you can tell they truly care about you. Let’s face it getting married is great but some of the process of booking the venue, picking the menu, dj, photographer, and other things that come with planning a wedding can become overwhelming and frustrating! The staff at the Avalon took us through everything step by step and made everything as about as easy as it could get. During the wedding I tried to talk with most of my guests and talked with some even after the wedding and all I heard back from them was how great the food was and that the amount of food served was just incredible. Everything was quality from the soup/salad to the entrees was just out of this world! To go along with the stellar service, great food, and gorgeous venue my husband and I had the time of our lives that we will cherish forever, the price for everything was untouchable compared to any other venue we looked at and I don’t think they would have been nearly as good as the Avalon was. It’s really great to hear your guests talking about how amazing the wedding/reception was days after the actual wedding. If your looking for just an all around great place to have your wedding or reception at PLEASE look no further than the Avalon! I would recommend this place to any couples looking to plan their big day here. Thank you Avalon and thank you to the entire staff for giving us more than we could ever hope for!

We just had our wedding on October 7th in the Dakota Room! Wow! There are so many things to say about this place!! We were able to meet with Brett first to see the building and discuss options for our day. He was very informative and addressed any concerns we had. Of course we booked with them, we immediately fell in love with the room!! When you walk in it takes your breath away!! They also designed the rooms to give you the option of not having any extra decorations and guess what, we didn't. We both agreed adding anything else would take away from the room. The price of the room we had was a steal! We knew exactly what we were paying for, no hidden fees or clauses in the contract! Everything was laid out and easy to understand! Later on we met with Jackie who took over for Brett and she was the best!!! She was so helpful, getting any information we requested and answered any questions we had! We also got to do a taste testing! MOUTH WATERING CHICKEN!!!!!!! We experienced the best chicken we have ever had and our guests agreed! Everyone could not stop talking about the food, so hats off to the kitchen and chef!! Now the day of our wedding came and again wow!! We were approached my one of the managers and he informed us that if there was anything we needed to just ask him or any of the other staff there. The staff was super friendly and very organized!!! Our wedding was perfect!!! Again our guests loved the food! And a bonus was that if there was any extra they donate it!! We had our ceremony and reception here and the staff was very accommodating! Also I must say our bartender was AWESOME!!!! I can't remember his name but he was fantastic!!! I heard a lot of compliments about him!! If anyone is thinking about having their wedding here, DO IT!!! We loved everything about what the Avalon offered!!! We will be recommending them to anyone that asks!! Thank you to Brett, Jackie and the staff that helped make our day perfect!!

We had our rehearsal dinner, wedding reception, and gift opening at the Avalon, and we couldn't be happier with how everything went. Staff was courteous, helpful, and personable. Jackie was great at promptly answering questions and being generally helpful. Your bartenders need a raise, because they were awesome.

The Avalon events center was the perfect venue for our wedding! It is absolutely beautiful and the food was AMAZING! I wouldn't have wanted my reception anywhere else! Would definitely recommend the Avalon!!

My sister got married at Avalon West last weekend and this venue was absolutely beautiful. It's very grand and classy. If you want a "wow" factor this venue is for you. The staff was very attentive and easy to work with. The food was very delicious!

They were great! Made the planning process very smooth and were willing to help out any way that they could

We had our ceremony and reception at the Avalon. They set up the Grand Ballroom for the ceremony and the Starlight Ballroom for the dinner and dance. They did a great job. The food was great! All of our guests had so many compliments on the beautiful building, great location, and delicious food. They let us bring in our own cakes/desserts and decorations and have pizza delivered for an evening snack. It was everything we had hoped for.

We used the Avalon downtown for our reception. We were in the starlight ballroom and the venue was set up beautifully. We loved the food and got many compliments from our guests. The staff were wonderful and helpful! They were also very flexible with us adding our personal touches to make our wedding special such as bringing in pizza at 9pm for a late night snack and having a hot chocolate bar. Love Love Love this venue (:

This was an excellent place to hold our reception! The night of the reception the manager on duty was amazing! We had originally planned to have the dance end at 12:00, but we were having so much fun they allowed us to have it till 1:00 at the last minute. The space is absolutely beautiful!

Absolutely fantastic! They were easy to work with and very friendly. The food was phenomenal. Great atmosphere. Just perfect!
