Wedding Venue
We had our wedding at the Thoroughbred Center back in April of this year. I couldn't be more pleased with how everything went. The venue itself has so many different options/packages/flexibilities that will match any vision that you are wanting for any event. The staff was very friendly and professional. They insured that everything was going accordingly and took the stress off my Husband and I from the moment we arrived through the last minute. The venue and facilities were well kept and clean. The bar staff was quick and personable. We highly recommend The Thoroughbred Center for not only a Wedding but for any other event as well!
So smooth and easy!!!
The Thoroughbred Center was SO wonderful to work with! Emily was absolutely awesome and helped us so much. She happily answered all of my many questions, was effective and easy to communicate with, and so accommodating! Everything went so smoothly. The venue is beautiful itself, the people are great, all around 10 out of 10!! I cannot recommend the Thoroughbred Center enough!
Couldn’t imagine a better wedding venue
We had our ceremony and reception in the paddock and it was perfect. I’m not much of a planner and Emily made sure that everything I hadn’t thought of was addressed. The venue was affordable, easy to work with, and gorgeous. Highly recommend!
Great venue for any event!
We love working with Emily, Sammie & their team at the Thoroughbred Center. Their communication, promptness and accuracy are the key to make any event perfect.
