The Wilsonian Event Center in Historic Downtown Wilson, NC — Local services in Wilson

Took me a little time to leave this review so I don’t know how anyone else’s experience will be with the owner of this place going forward. Things may have changed as I like to give an honest review. It’s a decent size place and located in the downtown area of Wilson but I had a horrible experience renting this place. We rented for my sisters memorial of her passing. The carpet was not clean, we paid for a projector in our package that was not even explained how to use so we didn’t use it. As the event was going on she kept walking through the party and interrupting me from entertaining my guest. She had a problem with the back door that the dj carried his equipment through. She couldn’t close it back so she said someone broke it, my step father went right to the door and closed it with no problem. She had an issue with something going on in the bathroom I went there it was three young ladies in the bathroom talking. She was rushing us out the building , my mom was trying to rush to clean up the ice from behind the bar and fell. I say all this to say that between me grieving my sister and trying to make sure the event went smooth, I spent more time worrying about whatever she was worrying about. I felt like the amount of young black people that was in the room was making her a little uneasy. After she told us she would have to keep a portion of the deposit to clean a rug that was dirty prior to us renting she kept saying your guest had a really good time … it was super weird but aye someone else may have a better...

Firstly, I made the mistake of not reading the reviews for this hall before I booked it and sent the invitations for our quinceanera, it was too late to make changes to the venue but I do want to warn anyone before they plan their even here. She is racist, she will not give you your deposit back even if you clean and pay the cleaning fee and lastly she is just very unprofessional. All of this is also stated in previous reviews so consider going elsewhere!

En primer lugar, cometí el error de no leer las reseñas de este salón antes de reservarlo y enviar las invitaciones para nuestra quinceañera, era demasiado tarde para hacer cambios en el lugar, pero quiero advertir a todos antes de que planeen su evento aquí. Ella es racista, especialmente a los hipanos, no le devolverá su depósito incluso si limpia y hace el pago de limpieza que requiere el contrato y, por último, no es profesional. Recomiendo buscar a otro salon porque no vale la pena aqui con esta señora amargada y racista. Saludos a la gente...

This is an event center that was great for a high school reunion. Lots of free parking, the center is well located in the city and well appropriated. It held a large number of people and the air conditioning was great. The acoustics were good. Great place for a medium to large gathering. Decorations are up...
