This review will be short because I don't know much about The Harbert Center other than my one visit there. I went for a Charity Masquerade Ball event a little while ago and was very surprised that I'd never heard of nor noticed this facility before. It's VERY nice!
It's pretty much an event center including a large, nice Atrium, 2 Halls, a Library and a Terrace. Decorations and Catering can be done in-house (not sure of details about bringing outside vendors). The website shows amazing decorations for Weddings/Receptions as well.

If you ever need to host an event with a considerable number of people, check out the Harbert Center. Assuming the pricing is fair, I think this will be a nice place...

I will now be giving a thumbs down to the restaurant that messed up. Or maybe not, I think we had a much better night than had we had our...
