I really enjoy the Friday lunches with Chef. The food is always great and it’s a nice atmosphere to grab a quick lunch.

Hey Donna and Brianna!
Thank you for helping us host one of the best events the Chamber has had to date! We had a blast and everyone loved how flawless everything was. You and your team contributed to that success in more ways than I could ever go into.
Your entire staff is always open to helping us in any capacity even if it means simply breaking down our monster steps and repeats. It is working with people like you all that make my job so enjoyable and fun so THANK YOU!!”

What a wonderful event, we received so many compliments on the event banquet staff, look of the venue and overall – it was a hit. As a Foundation staff, we were blown away by the customer service of each of the banquet staffers – please extend our thanks to them for a job well done. To each of you and Pinkie, wow! We cannot thank you enough for the attention to detail, last minute “help me” moments and feeling of teamwork to pull off a treasured Chesapeake staple event. Tiffani – I appreciate your willingness to walk me through how to get my laptop talking to the projection screens (it goes without saying I was on the verge of losing it). All worked so well – thank you.

A great place to hold your event. They have a wide-open space that can be confirmed the guest size of your event. Plenty of options for electricity if you plan to have a band. They also have a good kitchen selection and options if you need that as well. The staff is polite and professional. They are following Covid guidelines. Recommended.

“Donna and her team are excellent. We plan to return several times this year and have added other VenuWorks facilities for 2022. Pinky was very helpful and had a great attitude. She helped make our entire staff feel extremely welcome. The Executive Director, Donna Cannatella is one of the best in the business. We hold 2 to 3 events every weekend nationwide, so we have been to hundreds of facilities. Donna is a great addition to Chesapeake and has created a great culture with the team at the facility.”

“CWA had their Christmas party for 2021 and I cannot say enough about the staff at the Chesapeake Conference Center. What a great job everyone did! The party was absolutely fantastic and we will be there in 2022.”
December 2021
Definitely a great place for a large event!
In an 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 upfront 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.
Overall it was a perfect place for a ceremony that we attend with at least 200 people.December 2021

Unfortunately, last week I had to cancel my event that was scheduled at your venue for April 3rd of this year. Covid 19, and Virginia’s restrictions were not working in favor of my celebration.
I did however, want to take a moment to express my gratitude to your Staff Event Coordinator, Serteria Carter. From the beginning, Serteria was so helpful with scheduling my walk thru on a day when she had other events booked since it was the only time that worked with my planner’s schedule. With me calling virtually and my planner there in person, Serteria did a thorough tour of the facility, answered countless questions and really took her time with us. She immediately “wowed” me when she referred to my event by its name (50 is the New Black), since I had only spoken to her very briefly prior to the walk thru and didn’t even realize I had mentioned the name as I rambled on through my vision on our initial call. Moving forward, she was quick to send information and quick to respond to any of my questions or concerns. I also attended my tasting virtually with my planners there in person. Again, Serteria was friendly, yet professional. She offered valuable tips and suggestions which allowed me to make great decisions regarding my menu.I wanted to take this opportunity to thank her again and to make you aware of how her personable demeanor, attention to detail and professionalism are not only an asset to your business, but also are the reason I will choose to rebook my event with you once the restrictions have been lifted.-FEBRUARY 10, 2021
The staff at at the Conference Center will go out of their way to make you event successful. We had a minor issue that could have been a giant issue. Donna, Sylvia and the team were right on it. The facility also looks great and is easy to get to.

Thank you so much again for being such a fantastic host. We had such an incredible experience with you and your conference center. Not a single hiccup! Please pass our gratitude on to everyone involved, especially your server, William. He was so kind, attentive, professional, and cheerful – a joy to work with! As are you!
Thanks again for everything. I hope you are having a wonderful holiday season!

Serteria,
Thank you, thank you, thank you. Our special day was beautiful and successful largely because of you. In several ways, you went above and beyond what was required and made things work the way we wanted. Even when we were not sure what we wanted, you came through for us! It was a pleasure dealing with, and we both feel like we’ve made a new friend. May all your days be filled with happiness and blessings. And may all your endeavors be fruitful.
