Bridal Shower — An Eventective User from Rochester, MN

We had an issue come up with our previous space for my bridal shower, so this was very last minute, but HCOC was available and they were incredibly efficient with response times and making sure we had everything figured out before the event. Staff was kind and courteous and the space was perfect for our theme. I would highly recommend and definitely consider them again for future events.

Laura and the staff at the History Center were incredibly helpful and the process was seamless. The space was clean and set up beautifully done. I highly recommend using the History Center for your next party and/or event. You cannot beat the price either.

Hiawatha Trout Unlimited — An Eventective User from Rochester

We held our Chapter’s December meeting/holiday party in the Crawford room. It is a very nice venue for our group. We had about 25 members participating. We have a potluck supper as part of our event and the kitchen, off the meeting room, is very convenient for this type of activity. Everyone seemed to enjoy the setting, in fact, I had to ask them to pack up and go at 7:30. I think they would have stayed much longer if I hadn’t ushered them out. Parking is very accessible too. All said, it is a nice place to hold a meeting/holiday party.

Great Place for Hosting Event! — An Eventective User from Rochester, MN

The History Center has been such a wonderful place for us to host our annual client appreciation events! The venue itself is beautiful, private, with plenty of seating and additional tables available when needed. It is a very welcoming setting with lots of history around, and has plenty of parking. The staff has been phenomenal and is always prompt, friendly, and incredibly helpful to work with. It makes planning and hosting so much easier. We truly appreciate having this reliable and inviting space year after year.
