“Our wedding was amazing and perfect – beyond my expectations. It was insanely easy to have one place take care of so many things. It saved us a ton of money!” –Brianna Hallam
“My wedding day was flawless! It was great working with and planning everything out with Sarah. The convention center supplied us with centerpieces, candy jars, scoops, napkins, and saved my husband and I so much money! Sarah had brilliant ideas and recommended us to places that had fun props that made our reception room fun and creative. With the help of Sarah and her staff, I had a beautiful wedding day to always remember. Sarah and her crew helped out with so many things! From setting up, decorating our guest tables, moving around rented props, helping us set up the ceremony room, and tearing down, their gracious help took a lot of stress off of this bride’s shoulders! The wait staff were friendly, considerate, and catered to our wants and needs. Everyone went above and beyond and I can’t thank the convention center staff enough! My husband and I were very pleased with the service! The only thing that my husband and I would have changed would be the way our steaks were initially cooked, but it was our fault we weren’t specific on how we wanted our food to be. The wait staff and chefs were able to cook our food to our preference though, so it worked out for us. I would 100% recommended to any couple looking for a venue to get married at. Thank you, Salem Convention Center for one of the best days of my life!” – Shanelle S.
“From my first contact with Soraida Cross to my initial and followup meetings with Sarah Verheyden, I was very impressed by the professional staff and help with my event. I am not a big party planner, so having Sarah guide me through menu options, beverages and room set up was a big help. Sarah answered questions in a timely manner, offered many suggestions and was overall a big help to me. She is, without a doubt, an asset to the Convention Center. THANK YOU so much for making this a wonderful event.” - Roxie B.
“I had my wedding at the Salem Convention Center and it was so BEAUTIFUL! Sarah made everything come together and I had no stress! The wedding was wonderful, beautiful, amazing! I would definitely recommend the Convention Center, and Sarah, to anyone thinking about getting married or having any kind of party!” – Sandra
“My husband and I were married in the (adjoining) Grand Hotel 10/15/2016. Originally, our ceremony was to be held at an outdoor venue, with just the reception at the Hotel. Three days before our wedding, after looking at the weather forecast, we decided we needed to move to an indoor venue. Sarah was incredible and helped us find a room down the hall from our reception venue, coordinated floral arrangements, and gave great tips on how to make the space our own. The reception was great – the food was amazing, and we couldn’t have been happier with how our special day turned out. Thank you, Salem Convention Center!” - Shelby
