Great place to go do things love to play bingo there and shoot pool. Only 25$ for a year you can't hardly brat that for a membership.

I had my wedding at the Nix Center this past Saturday! I have nothing but great things to say about the crew at the Nix center. Margie, Kim, Angie, and everyone in between were a dream to work with. The ballroom itself is gorgeous. Everybody was so helpful and patient and I couldn’t have asked for a better venue.If you are interested in using the ballroom as a venue for your wedding, I highly highly recommend them. This weekend was everything I could’ve prayed for and so much more.

Beautiful venue. Reasonably priced for event rental and as a participant at events.

My family has had several events at this venue, as well as, catered. The place I'd nice and spacious, the kitchen is okay, but the staff is bad. They are very rude and do a lot of complaining about their jobs. The parking lot is small, the signal sucks, but the staff is really what makes the place bad. I personally wouldn't have an event there.( pictures of food we catered and of a family members wedding)
