Chesapeake Conference Center

The Chesapeake Conference Center is a very nice event space conveniently located in the Greenbrier section of Chesapeake. They are capable of handling large events or small events, they can do multiple events at the same time as they have a large hall and smaller private rooms. The spacious private parking lot has multiple access points but with a large group it may take a few minutes to exit the lot at the conclusion of your event. I've been to several events at the conference center over the years and it's always been a good experience. My most recent visit was a large breakfast banquet and program. Event staff did a wonderful job of preparing the hall and serving our meal with two buffet stations and two omelet stations. There were a lot of people but the lines moved swiftly. The food was good and plentiful, the service was excellent from beginning to end. If you want to plan an event or just have questions check out their detailed website. Be aware they are currently closed for renovations from June 1, 2023 to November 1, 2023.

Definitely a great place for a large even! In a easy good location in greenbrier. Lots of parking. Bathrooms on both sides. Good size and clean. I noticed other rooms that were being used for a party. It was nice we didn't even run into that group. And parking was still not an issue. We were in the large main room. It had lots of room for space and chairs. They had a stage up front with rows and rows of chairs with still room to move and walk around. With some good lighting as well. Everyone seemed to enjoy the food they provided. Over all it was a perfect place for a ceremony that we attend with at least 200 people.

Went to an event here, it was really nice and pretty! I definitely enjoyed it! The servers were nice and attentive and I wouldn't mind returning for another event. I did have there food there too and it was enjoyable! The place our event was held was very spacious!

What a beautiful conference center transformed into the ultimate gala event!!!! Kudos to the team who put together the 2015 Bra Ha Ha event!!! The food was good, the lighting was gorgeous, live band sounded great even the tables looked good. We had a wonderful time tonight at the award and auction gala event. There was even free valet parking. The only downside was the long lines for the little cocktail bars where you could buy beverages. It took about 15-20 mins to get a drink being that there was only one person behind each little bar section. Also, the wait staff that was supposed to clear tables and empty glasses was definitely on some kind of "Island Time". No sense of urgency to take away cluttered dirty dishes from our tables.All in all it was a marvelous night and one I'll never forget. I won 2 auctions and went home with 2 beautiful paintings by Helen Mosher. Thanks!!

Had a "All Employee Meeting" here today. Wish I could say it was my first visit, and or my last. What I will say is this... Uh... No.Terrible box lunch that consisted of a bun with 2 paper thin slices of turkey and a piece of lettuce. Topping that off was a packet of mustard and packet of mayo, two stale cookies and a small bag of chips. Terrible value for my employer's dollar. The Founders Inn took much better care of us when we went over there.

Hubby and I attended the Sweet Tooth Dessert Bazaar: Fall Edition this afternoon. There was enough parking. The inside was clean and well designed. The restrooms were clean and nicely decorated. The foyer was large enough for any check in process you have to go through. The main room we were in was large enough. It was a bit confusing at first when they told us to line up. After everyone was in line (and it was forming fast) they then told us to separate in lines of people who have purchased tickets and a line for those that need to purchase tickets. This made some people a bit aggravated but it was fine. The location works well.

The Chesapeake Conference Center is your basic conference facility. It's not especially large or fantastic. It's location near Greenbrier can hardly compete with the Virginia Beach Convention Center next to the Oceanfront. If you are looking to hold a local event, the facilities are clean, the catering is decent (not great) and the location is central to Hampton Roads. The parking is easy, free and convenient.But if you are looking to bring in out-of-towners for a conference, they are going to be bored in the middle of suburbia. Better to host an event in Virginia Beach or Norfolk. The service at the Chesapeake Conference Center is great, but nothing beats location, location, location.

I've been have been here for at least 3 events. In the past year I've attended Taste of Hampton Roads and the Brahaha event. The location has adequate parking. Events sometimes offer valet service. The bathrooms are clean and well designed. The foyer serves as an Ideal check-in area for event-staff. Tables can be lined up on both sides of the hallway adding to the usable event space. The ballroom, which can be sectioned off, is huge. And it can be transformed into just about anything with the right set-up, lighting, floor-plan. I've been to two events where parts of the set-up was very similar. Food stations to the right and left of the door. Round tables scattered throughout. Stage to the back of the room with the band to the left of the stage. I enjoyed the events here and I think the location works well.

This was the location for my niece's Gymnastics States Meet. Parking was easy. There are plenty of near by hotels from the Staybridge to a full service Marriott. If you can't find parking in the immediate lots, there's a nearby office complex that doesn't appear to use their lots on the weekends. The restrooms are nice and clean. The floor space for the meet was a bit tight but was able to accommodate all the various equipment.

This place is not what it use to be when the city of Chesapeake owned it. My club had a Xmas luncheon there and there were several issues. We requested white table cloths with red and white napkins. They put black tablecloths on the tables. We asked for holiday centerpieces and we had the most ugly spring centerpieces that you could imagine. The food was just ok... we had chicken and the sugar container on the table had packets of sugar that had been wet and dried and had mold on them. When I requested more packets of sugar I was told they didn't have any... asked another server and she did nothing so I called for the manager. This should have never happened. This facility is just a big structure with no class when it comes to events. They use to have a system where there would be built in music selections... we were told they don't have that anymore. If you want class, good food and a business that cares more about first class service and not jus making money then you need to go elsewhere.
