"We cannot express how much we appreciate the Drake Center for making our first Ignite Fort Collins event a smashing success. The venue itself was perfect for us. The beautifully decorated lobby provided a welcoming area to check in our guests. The bar was an awesome place for our guests to mingle, and the bar staff was wonderful—outgoing, friendly, and helpful.

Kacie and Kristin were an amazing event planning team. They guided and helped us every step of the way. We never felt like we were “the May 28th event” –everything they did communicated that the success of our event was really important to them. They went out of their way to make sure our needs were met, and definitely went “above and beyond.” It showed the night of our event—everything worked smoothly, and we were thrilled with the result.

From the venue, to the food, to the bar, to the staff, the Drake Center provided a first class meeting space. We’re looking forward to our next event!"

"Thank you so much for the great evening at the Drake Centre last Friday for our Valentine’s Dinner and Dance. You were wonderful – and flexible! – to work with. The staff was very friendly and attentive, and the guests seemed to really enjoy the food, as well as the location. In fact, many of the guests had not previously heard of the Drake Centre, so hopefully the evening might have also served as a bit of advertising for you for future events.

Thanks so much – we really enjoyed it!

Sincerely,
Sharon Balmer"
