Life Arts Center

Poor management and slow response to book. The venue was dirty. I was surprised because the pictures made this place look like a palace. Must be the filters? No street parking. I really wanted to like this place because of the location however, I was much happier elsewhere with friendly and professional service.

Had my Fathers 60th birthday party and have to say it was quite a success. Catering, floor manager, bartender were very much on point. They were very accommodating and attentive to our guests and last minute requests. They are an Amazing team from the decore coordinator to the owners. Very flexible and always showed that they cared for our event to be as memorable as possible. Will definitely be booking future events!

Very unprofessional, not honest, the owner tried to fix things but pretty much wanted to pay me to not let others know how bad their customer service is. I don't recommend them, and please know this company isn't truth worthy. I think that's the worth part. When doing business for such an important day, you need professionals you can trust.

Venue was organized, well accommodated, they let you set up in advance, the facilities were clean, the food, and DJ were great. Desiree was absolute amazing with communication leading up to the day of the wedding. I would definitely recommend this venue for special events!

if you want to have your bartender leave an hour into your wedding because they were fired right before your event, this is the place for you. If you want to have to go over your contract with 5 different people because so many people were fired or quit, this is the place for you. Elvia is their decor lady & was our saving grace throughout the planning process and wedding day. Her daughter Ruby was a reliable point of contact as well. Beautiful venue, but the owners are an absolute nightmare!! All in all, the process was incredibly unorganized and was an unnecessary stressor. The fired bartender called it a toxic work environment. Makes sense with the employee turnover rate. Our guests had to step in and bartend until we were able to get a new bartender (Elvia resolved this issue, thankfully). Although we loved how this venue looked, I cannot recommend booking here due to the lack of professionalism and terrible communication.

RUN...I attended a wedding here back in the summer of 2023 and it was unpleasant to be there as a guest and only imagine what it would have been like to be the bride and groom that actually paid for their services.For one, their bathrooms were dirty. The floor is pealing and I almost tripped at some point walking across their venue. Their ceramic plates are beige, not white and their silverware is a joke.. Their AC did not function at all... it was sooo hot.Definitely not a place to host a wedding ...

Recently had a family wedding here. The venue itself is beautiful and the vendors were awesome but the venue management and wedding organizers are shady and do NOT follow through with what is written in your contract. Make sure to double check you contract and confirm what you were promised is in writing as well. A lot of misinformation and manipulation, won't be coming back to use this venue.

The venue itself is beautiful. The wedding day was amazing due to our vendors and family helping. If you have the support to do everything yourself, then this venue could work for you. But the people were a nightmare. I booked the venue 1 year in advance. They changed ownership during this time. They changed management 3 times. We won a $750 raffle for flowers. (We were the only ones to book). I was told the manager asked the florist to lie to us about the prices so that they didn't have to pay the full amount. I paid for a bridal suite and grooms suite. A month before, they said we didn't get it in writing and they already sold it to a quincenera next door. After my family and I cooled off from being upset, I agreed to get a random room and asked to see the contract. Upon reviewing the contract... The "Bridal Suite" was on there "in writing". They double booked the suite! The office "manager" , who quickly advised she's not a manager (after being called one by the coordinator) said the last manager made her contracts strangely. "If it wasn't highlighted, it didn't count" or vice versa. I threw back the "well it's in writing?" that they apathetically told me just moments before. My husband was still out of luck on a groomsmen suite as they said they were separate. I went through 3 different coordinators because they all kept getting fired or quitting due to poor management. By the time we got the last one a few weeks before the event, we were so over it. The week of, we had to repeat the same thing to 5 different people and stuff was still forgotten. Last coordinator ended up being sweet leading up to it and helpful the day of. The venue was patronizingly apologetic. Always throwing off the responsibility to the "last owner" , "last manager" , "last coordinator", "not in writing" (even though it was sold as a package). Sorry but we can't do anything"Incredibly stressful and uneasy process. Beautiful venue though.

The building is beautiful....we had a wedding there and the bride was so stressed last minute because the (new) management began telling her certain things were extra charge which were included in the original contract. The bridal and groom suite were no longer available and given to another event. She had to negotiate new terms last minute which was very unprofessional and upsetting. There are three halls and we were told our entry would be private....we had people from other events coming through our area (not cool). Securtiy guards were late. Elvia (employee) was the only person who really tried helping us out however was overruled by upper management. During the event water was spilled on the dance floor and I asked one of the employees to dry the area....she (annoyed) brought out a big wet mop and added more water to the dance floor (a couple of guests fell). A wedding should be a joyful event....so much time and work goes into it....I felt horrible for my daughter (bride) she tried to look on the bright side......not happy with the venue....felt they said what you wanted to hear and didn't come through. Shady So beware!

Don't event think about booking this place the staff and new owners don't know what they are doing! Unprofessional, they cannot keep promises verbally or written. Plus the place it dosent look like the pictures any more ever the new owners from 2021 buy the building. plus they are thiefs, the place it's ugly in ruins and charging over ridiculous too much. Not worth it. Any Hotel will treat you better and keep their promises in writing or verbally. No GOOD
