  • Flexible Event Staff, Jordan Mariner, Director of Events, Glendale Chamber of Commerce
    “The Glendale Civic Center is a wonderful venue in the heart of downtown Glendale with the flexibility to accommodate various needs! The Glendale Chamber has hosted many key events and every experience has been a positive one! Diane and her team are a pleasure to work with, always going above and beyond to accommodate the needs of their customers.  Our event coordinator, Teresa Hawthorne and her staff were flexible and willing to make last minute changes or requests, when needed and asked. If they couldn’t accommodate, they would find a solution, and that is what I consider the ultimate customer service.  I highly recommend the Glendale Civic Center for your next event, conference or fundraiser!”

  • Great Day with record numbers! West Maricopa County Association of Realtors®
    First of all I want to say thank you to you for ALL of your help during the Expo process. You helped make my first year of leading the Expo a good experience. The ladies in your office were a HUGE help as well. Please thank all of them for me too. The guys that were involved with the set up were amazing. They were available to us, even when they did not need to be, to help us out with questions or requests. What a wonderful crew. I can not say enough about each and every one of them. We had a great day with record numbers of people attending the event. I hope we were not too much trouble for you all! Again, Teresa Hawthorne, thank you for EVERYTHING. You all are amazing.

  • Arizona Department of Education
    I was so blown away by the courteous and timely service by the staff as well as the quality of food and gorgeous presentation I simply HAD to come home and give you all feedback. I can’t remember the last time I have been to a catered event that was so fabulously done! I have been to meetings, seminars, weddings, and parties and the extent of catering at all those events barely come close to matching the quality of service you offer to your customers. The last day of the seminar was today and I am already tucking your information away for my personal needs as well as spreading the word to friends about what phenomenal service you provide.

  • We felt like the only event there! Thomas Wedding
    Teresa Hawthorne was amazing. They took care of all of our needs and made everything run smoothly. And although there were other events happening on that day, we felt like ours was the only event there.

  • The Food was Delicious! Cole Wedding
    Catering rep was wonderful in working with me all along, but especially with letting me add a couple people at the last minute and accommodating my special requests. The food was delicious! We were pleasantly surprised that a server came and found us to offer us appetizers during the cocktail hour. Everything looked and tasted delicious - we received lots of compliments afterwards on the food and wine selection.

  • Magical Day!  Mother of the Bride (Flavel Wedding)
    Just wanted to give a big Thank You!! to you and Glendale Civic Center. Thank you for all your hard work in putting together such a fabulous wedding and reception. The wedding party and all our guests had a great time. Everyone raved about the food and the cake was the best cake I have ever had. The courtyard and the ballroom were both just beautiful. So glad the rain held off so we could have the ceremony outdoors. The chocolate fountain was amazing also. The guests were really excited about that.  Kristen and Steven had a magical day that they will always remember. Again, thank you, Teresa Hawthorne and Glendale Civic Center.
