Five stars is not enough to rate our experience. The venue was impeccable the food was amazing and…read morethe service from Mike and Jenna far exceeded expectation. We had our son's wedding and reception there. They were so accommodating for the entire event from decorating to the DJ ( which can make or break a wedding I might add) down to the clean up. The day could not have been more special for both families. I will strongly recommend Kokies to anyone whose planning a wedding that wants to have a memorable experience.

We had our wedding reception at Kokie's and everything turned out just how we wanted it! Mike, the…read moreowner and main coordinator, was easy to work with, even though we were planning long distance. The venue (Kokie's Echo Valley) is large so there's plenty of room for even a large group to spread out - our wedding was around 230. In fact, one guest pointed out that it felt like several venues in one, between the separate bar with a TV, the sitting area, the dance floors, and the cocktail table area. There were lots of kids at our wedding who liked being able to go around to different areas. There was also plenty of room for our photo booth. We had a band who set up their own equipment and that worked great for us. Plenty of room for a dance floor. The food was amazing - we had fried chicken and BBQ. Loved it. Since we had a lot of out of town guests we hired a bus to take them to the reception and back. Worked out great. A huge pro, which was also partially luck, was that we were able to start setting up decorations, table numbers, etc. the Thursday before our wedding. We wouldn't have been able to do that if there had been an event Friday, but some places won't let you in until the day of your event anyway. It's really nice to be able to get a head start so the day itself isn't so hectic. Pros: Food TV (hey, it's March Madness) Staff Plenty of room Cheaper than many similar places Good prices on the bar/alcohol (we had open bar) Beautiful outdoor area for pictures Mike lets you bring in prepackaged outside snacks for cocktail hour and desserts The lights strung across the ceiling really add a lot, decor-wise. Accessible for wheelchairs Early set up if available No pressure to spend money on their stuff. It's available if you need it, but Mike is generally fine with you bringing in a lot of your own stuff, with the obvious exception of food. Cons: Out of the way, although not hard to find, and still only 15 min from downtown Large building with lots of open space, which is a pro - but if you're planning on doing lots of decorating you'll need a lot of stuff to fill up the space. We are extremely happy with our experience!

I go here to watch roller derby and love this place. It is just right for smaller venues and would…read moreattend more if I didn't live out of state. Yeah, the restrooms could use a facelift, but I've been in worse. Maybe Uncle Sam could help with a facelift. There is talk about the powers that be want to make this a parking lot or something. That would be a shame. This place has alot of history and hopefully will have decades more.

Having to change location for a party 30 minutes before the event because they double book the room. And the owners do even have any options for another venue when it was their error. Would give negative stars if that were possible but with the way they do business they won't be in running this for very long
