Grand Junction Convention Center — Attraction in Grand Junction

I'll start with the good. It's beautiful inside.

Planning: We reserved 2 days in September and when all the details were settled and came time for the contract it came with two days... a month apart. We actually read the contract and caught it and asked them to correct it but oddly a large event had completely filled our space on day two so we were offered a small side room for that day. We declined and had to seek another venue with little time to spare.

Power: We were told when planning that there was plenty of power.. they didn't mention it was $25 per outlet recepticle.

Food: No outside food, drinks, or snacks... no problem, we ordered their cheese tray and fruit tray. When the cheese tray disappeared after an hour we asked where it went because we would take the leftovers and they explained it was an insurance liability... hmm, I've been in insurance 24 years... who knew?

Look the planning staff was great... the sales manager not so much.

One thing to note on the facility... bring your own registration table covers... we were 0 for 2 on theirs.

Overall our event turned out great but CMU comes in at about 50% less expense and...

She told you what was possible, but have to buy her books to get the steps. What a waste of my time. Others around be were not happy as well. I will not go to her events again, it's just a commercial to buy her products and during the event she helps you sign up on her YouTube page. The fire hazard was a big...

It was a nice venue.. More room than the Mesa theater for sure. Definitely ridiculous how they closed the drinks down way before the concert was over... (Tech N9ne & Hollywood Undead 2023) but was a hell of a performance. Would also be nice to have a smoke friendly place in Grand junction for concerts. It's 2023 everyone either smokes vapes, cigarettes or marijuana. I understand this might not be the place for that but maybe someone with money and ideas might see this one day... I think it's a large percentage that would enjoy not having to spend 30-45 minutes standing in line just to have a quick smoke. This is coming from a non-smoker...
