    The Waddell Center was the perfect venue for our wedding. With a great location and reasonable prices, it was an easy choice for us. The space itself is spacious and absolutely beautiful - our guests were blown away by how elegant and well-appointed it was. Everyone at The Waddell Center, especially our coordinator Bre, was so helpful throughout the planning process. Bre answered every question we had and made sure the entire day went as smoothly as possible. She truly went above and beyond to ensure we were happy and stress-free. We couldn't have asked for a better venue or team to work with for our special day. Another perk is the parking lot! Anything close to downtown never has appropriate/easy parking and this had more than enough!
