The Braham Event Center was an excellent choice for our wedding venue. Their communication throughout the planning process was very good - they were responsive to our questions and helped us coordinate all the logistics seamlessly. The venue itself is a huge, spacious space with great lighting that provided the perfect backdrop for our special day. They were also incredibly helpful with all the last minute details that come up when planning a wedding. On top of that, the Braham Event Center is a non-profit organization that gives back to the community, and their pricing was very reasonable for the high-quality space they provided. We couldn't have asked for a better venue to celebrate our marriage.

We work at the Black Woods Event Center quite frequently and are a contributor to their wedding package.
