I've seen several performances at the Columbia Theater and I'm so happy Longview has maintained…read morethis jewel of a venue! Thank you to all of the volunteers, sponsors and contributors who have contributed your time and money to ensure the theater remains open for future generations. Located in downtown Longview, the theater is positioned in a northwest-facing plaza with plenty of neighboring restaurants and cafes, as well as a dedicated parking lot in the rear. Visitors will also find plenty of street parking in the blocks surrounding the theater. The theater boasts a spacious lobby, with concessions and restrooms down a hallway to the left. This configuration prevents congestion in the lobby, however it can get crowded in the hallway. The theater has great acoustics, comfortable seating, and mostly unubstructed sightines throughout the auditorium. There are ADA seats in the rear, and a gently sloping grade that allows for easy passage throughout the building.

Great old theater! We love all the old painted decorations;…read moreit is still in its' glory of youth! We drove over to see a movie preview, such a fun night! Good thing we arrived early to park and get in line! They had sold over 500 tickets when we purchased ours two days before! We found plenty of on street and small parking lots to use in the area. The line of movie goers wound along the front entrance street and down the quieter blocks beside the huge old building. As we waited two shinning "limos" pulled up to bring on the stars! There was even a red carpet! The place was spotless and in wonderful shape, you felt like you were stepping back in time. This was the movies world review, and we were lucky to be seated near some of the cast! We had a fun night and enjoyed seeing a movie that had been filmed in the local areas! We are planning to come back for other events in the future!

We had a 50th anniversary party at the Elks. I cannot say enough about how amazing everything was…read more The event manger Jessica helped us with reserving the space and planning the menu. If you are hosting an event in this area, this is the place. Venue-the space was large, has a good size dance floor and a stage. We brought in a band and the stage was more than large enough. We also used the projector to play a slide show. The venue provided chairs, tables and we opted to also use the linens. They also allowed us access to their back patio area which was fully fenced. We set out lawn games and the kids had so much fun. Food-we did the prime rib(they had a person carving slices for us) and blackberry chicken along with the strawberry salad, garlic mash, green beans and Mac and cheese. They included the plates and silverware. Everything was delicious and all our guests raved about the food. We also were able to bring in some of our own food(appetizers and pizza for the kids). Huge thank you to the Elks for hosting us!

We really like staying at the Elks RV parks. This particular Elks is in a great location and has…read morewater and electric hookups with a dump on site. One of the problems with this Elks is you can only stay 7 days during the summer even if the park is empty. The lodge is definitely losing out on additional revenue. The other thing that can often be a big problem is that there are several locals who move in and stay. They do not feel their dogs are subject to any leash restrictions. Thus, we've seen many times doors opened and little dogs on the loose. The dogs business is done and nothing is picked up. It is rare in any RV park that this is allowed and it is terribly annoying especially if you have a dog and keep yours on leash. The roaming dogs can be a big problem and we feel rules should be posted even for the good old boys to follow.

He went over all A-Z to make sure we had the best experience! Employees/owners were present to make sure our time there was the best! We cannot wait to go back.

Beautiful place to have a fancy barn wedding and Michelle does know how to do decor. However…read more.. Some things happened that showed some very bad etiquette and a couple of times where it was very rude and uncalled for. There is a lot to these stories, and it would be a book if I put everything in the review, so I am just putting the important things you should know about this venue. I was yelled at by Michelle over the phone about how I made her feel like she was cheating me. Michelle thinks she doesn't have to talk or answer questions to the person paying for the wedding after saying I was harassing her with e-mail and texts. (You should check that Michelle... Everyone that knows me, knows I don't do e-mail so I don't even have your email address. The texts were payments except 2) Michelle also called everyone together to begin instructions on the wedding and with everyone sitting around waiting for her to talk, she comes over to me and wants to talk to me right there in front of everyone so things aren't awkward? The people around me could not believe she had just done that and a few were really mad about it, including the bride. Then Michelle was mad when I said Now was not the time and that I was there to enjoy my daughter's wedding. I was just asking if there was more tortillas or who I could talk to about more. I don't think it warranted Luke coming outside and yelling at me the way he did. Venue itself is a nice barn, but the price was more expensive than most of the other barn venues in the area.

I was unfortunately a covid bride but they allowed me to move my date without any fees (which is unheard of). I just had my wedding here last weekend and was able to have it exactly how I dreamed!!

I cannot thank Michelle and Luke enough for working so hard to make my day run so smooth!! You won't regret getting married here
