The food is fabulous, the staff is wonderful, and they really take care of everything so that you don't have to worry about anything on your special day. I have been planning events as an Executive Assistant for over a decade and have worked with lots of companies; Designed Events is one of the best I have ever worked with!

They were absolutely delightful to deal with. We appreciated their expertise and promptness. They…read morewent beyond what we expected on presentation and we would definitely recommend.

This past Saturday we had a graduation/18th birthday party for my son at Premier Event Center on…read moreDunn Ave. Beautiful venue and is black owned, which i loved. While the party did happen, leading up to it was not a good experience at all!! My sister originally rented the venue a year ago, but had to cancel. As a result, they allowed her to reschedule within a year. We scheduled my sons party, after speaking to the owner and advising that I would now be the contact. During the same conversation, we were told that there had been a rate increase, however, they would absorb it by giving us less time. We're we happy about that, no, but we went with it because the goal was not to spend more money. Well 4 days before the party, I call to set up time to make sure the tables are set up the way we want. The owner then tells me that there is a balance on the contract. I'm like what are you talking about?! Then she says, well, I don't have the contract in front of me. We can talk about it when you come to the venue Thursday. To make a long story short, there was a contract, but as a result of a price increase, we would now have to pay additional money, even after a conversation months ago where she said they would absorb it but give us less time. So we ended up having to pay more money as a result of their rate increase even though they were paid in full for a year and already under contract!!! So basically, the contract meant nothing to them, they only wanted the higher cost per hour. Had it not been 2 days before the party, we would have just canceled, but I'm sure she knew we wouldn't because invites had already gone out! What venue has a balance a week before a party and the event still happens??? None of them!!!! The average amount of time is 2 weeks, but 2 days!!!! Like I said earlier, a beautiful venue, but we will never, ever rent it again because they DON'T honor a written agreement!!! I bet had the prices gone down, they wouldn't have given my sister any money back!!! So why make us pay an increase after having a full payment for a year!!! I said all is that to say, business owners do better!!!! I'm not saying the customer is always right, but I am saying, honor your agreements or you will lose business!!! If that's the only venue in town, I would not rent from them EVER AGAIN!!!

I am a Wedding Officiant and I had the pleasure of being the officiant for a wedding this week. I…read morehad never been to this Event Venue before and I was SHOCKED at how stunningly beautiful it was inside. The crystal chandeliers and the accent lighting is lovely. The epoxy floor looks great. The entire space is well appointed. The owners were present for both the rehearsal as well as the actual ceremony. Mr. and Mrs. Glover are true professionals and they run a smooth operation. On the day of the ceremony, the space was transformed with beautiful decor. The tables were set to perfection. Everything was spaced perfectly. The assistance they gave to run a smooth ceremony was from making sure the sign outside on the easel was secured to coordinating the procession was a sign of their attention to detail and a measure of their excellent marks as experienced wedding professionals. They certainly made me feel welcomed and they flawlessly executed this event. Their in house Chef had everything set and I saw the delicacies he had prepared. The presentation was top-notch. It definitely had Chef written all over it and not just some food preparation team. I highly recommend the Premier Events & Rental Center. It has plenty of parking and is easy to find. It is conveniently half way into town from Jacksonville International Airport. Your guests should find this location easily.

If you need a sign, let this be it. NEVER AGAIN!!…read more Read until the end. The owner stayed THE ENTIRE EVENT. I repeat, she stayed THE ENTIRE EVENT. Who does that?! When I asked her if she was there to help, she mentioned that she was the owner and she always hung around for the events. She claimed that she was there to help, but she was just there hovering, mingling with our guests, and taking pictures. She was just watching us the ENTIRE time pointing out everything that was wrong or not up to her standard. DON'T BOOK IT!! We were there to celebrate a very big milestone of one our our family members. We had 1.5 hours to decorate and setup. Our event was from 6p-10p. She reminded us at 9:58p that we had TWO minutes left!!! We were so worried about leaving on time so that it wouldn't cost us our deposit, that we had to tell our guests to leave so we could clean up. How embarrassing! DON'T BOOK IT!! The venue is a nice little house that has been split into both a home and a venue. With that being said, it stinks like pets inside, the kitchen is DIRTY, the refrigerator is disgusting, and the oven looks like it hasn't been wiped since it was purchased. DON'T BOOK IT!! Her tone was very demeaning and not welcoming at all. We paid to rent the venue and enjoy our time with family and friends. The added stress because of her presence and continuous negative feedback was very unnecessary. Planning and executing an event is stressful as it is. DON'T BOOK IT!!

We did not have Jay as our wedding photographer. But I assumed (incorrectly) that any photographers…read moreworking for him would be professional wedding photographers and know to move around in order to capture the entire reception. Our photographer stood in the same place for the entire reception, therefore capturing the same people over and over. There are no pictures of the groom's family's table or of the wedding party table. We have the same dancing pictures with the same people over and over. There is only one formal picture of the wedding party, very poor selection of photos of the bride only and none of the groomsmen getting ready when we specifically asked for that. Truly the best pictures we have are ones that friends and family took. Beyond disappointing and upsetting. The other terrible thing about Jay Grubb photography is how long it takes to get your pictures. We waited 18 weeks to get our pictures and then to be that disappointed after that long wait is completely inexcusable. Use another photographer for your precious memories.

We met for the photo shoot and he was able to get my son loosened up and smiling quickly. We were able to get the pictures back within 24hrs. Edited and ready to go! The photos were touched up where appropriate but keeping the natural look. His editing and eye are spot on and where you see how talented he is! Thank You Jay.

I am no model, but he is able to help pose me with ease. He usually does the pose himself so all you have to do it mirror him and that makes it really helpful to me. Working with him, you'll notice that he has quality gear. Of course, he knows how to use them as well. Quality gear + knowledge = awesome photos. I love all my photos and get many compliments on them. If you are looking to hire a wedding photography, portrait or fashion photography, Derick is your guy.

If I could give Rhythm Factory 10 stars, I would! We just hosted my daughter's Quinceañera here,…read moreand it was truly magical....the kind of celebration you dream about for years, and then somehow, it turns out even better than imagined. My daughter fell in love with this venue at age 11 after attending a friend of the family's Quinceañera here. She spent the next four years dreaming and planning her own event and when the big day finally came, every single detail she envisioned was brought to life flawlessly. Terry is an absolute gem. She treated my daughter's ideas with such care and respect, listening closely and going above and beyond to make everything perfect even though the vision was coming from a young girl. That level of kindness and professionalism is rare, and we will never forget it. The venue itself is absolutely stunning, featuring elegant lighting, sparkling chandeliers, rich hardwood floors, beautiful chairs, and a top-of-the-line sound system that kept the energy high all night long. The layout was flawless, offering a warm and inviting space for guests to mingle, a spacious party area for dining and dancing, and smooth transitions between each moment of the celebration. Every corner was thoughtfully transformed to accommodate our 100+ guests in style. One of the highlights was the luxurious private room provided for our family and court. It was a serene space set up in advance with comfortable seating, refreshments, and plenty of room for our gowns, accessories, and final touches. It made getting ready feel like part of the celebration itself. The staff was phenomenally friendly, helpful, and clearly passionate about making each event unforgettable. From the licensed bar service to the parking and accessibility, every aspect was handled with excellence. Our guests are still talking about how amazing the night was and most importantly, my daughter felt seen, celebrated, and completely cherished. Rhythm Factory didn't just host an event, they delivered a once-in-a-lifetime experience that our family will treasure forever. Thank you, Rhythm Factory, for making our daughter's dream come true in the most unforgettable way. You are truly one of Jacksonville's hidden gems.
