Amazing Event - An Eventective User

Perfect place to through an event for a party in general! AC Unit inside to keep you & your guest cool at all times, very spacious & roomy. Set up was amazing especially from the staff they’re really open when it comes down to ideas. Everything was perfect & I can’t wait to have another venue like this again for my son.

Tropical Wedding in Hilo - An Eventective User from Hilo, Hawaii

We decided to use the ARC of Hilo for our wedding reception and we were so very impressed with this "new" venue option for the Hilo community. Robert is the CEO and handled our event with great professionalism. From the original contract, through all communications, to our numerous onsite visits, up to the day of our event Robert was there!! He and his staff showed such skill and patience as we worked together to make this dream wedding a success. We highly recommend Robert and the ARC of Hilo for your next event!!

5 Star Event Center - An Eventective User from Hilo

The Arc was very accommodating and easy to work with. We had our Company Christmas Party at the Arc's Event Center that was decorated with all the holiday cheer. They had Christmas trees, TV screens with our logo, round tables set up to our liking with chairs and tables dressed in white table cloths. The restrooms were super clean as well as the entire hall. They set up the stage perfectly. Whenever we called, Robert Efford would always get back to us in a timely manner and made sure our needs were met. We weren't sure if our caterers had servers and Robert was able to have some available if we needed, fortunately we didn't. The party was so much fun with the music, dancing and other fun stuff that we overstayed and ended the party well past our allotted time. The Arc did all of the setup and take down which was very important. They did an excellent job. All in all, The entire process and celebration was truly enjoyed because Robert and the Arc of Hilo made it very, very easy for us. Mahalo Robert and the Arc of Hilo . Your Event Center is fabulous.
