Testimonials:

Unique and interactive venue. Staff are wonderful to work with.
~December 2018 Our Dahl wedding and reception was everything I had hoped. Caitlin was amazing to work with! She was so prompt answering my endless questions and amazing to work with!! I absolutely loved all that Caitlin did to make our reception what it was. The venue was beautiful for a night winter wedding-I loved the big windows. It was handicap accessible which was important for me to have for our guests. I also loved being within walking distance to the hotel. One of my favorite aspects was being able to bring in a caterer-this allowed us to have the exact kind of food we wanted, rather than choosing from options we didn't like. I would absolutely recommend the Dahl to anyone - whether it be for a large party or wedding reception, the Dahl is an excellent choice.
~December 2018 "Thank you for letting us use the Dahl! It was absolutely the
perfect setting!" "Thank you for such an amazing night, I had a blast! The Staff was so nice!" "Everything was perfect!" "It looked so beautiful and thank you for working with us so well!" "Caitlin & Crew - We sincerely appreciate all you did to help & accommodate all of the students & parents at our Prom this year! You helped make it magical!" ~ Rapid City Christian High School, May 2018 |
Staff was very friendly, professional and very flexible to work with when we needed to test sound equipment out in the space.
Didn't feel rushed to get out after the event. Needed extra chairs mid-event and staff were very eager to help. Highly recommend this space. ~ February 2018 Wonderful event space, decorated lovely, staff was exceptional!
~ January 2018 Caitlin, the Venue Coordinator, is a gem! :) She was great to work with and very helpful. The John T. Vucurevich Event Center room looked amazing! We were so pleased with how everything turned out and very grateful for all they did for us. The Rapid City community is very lucky to have such an amazing facility!
~ January 2018 Caitlin and her staff really went the extra mile to accommodate our holiday party. We chose the "Winter Wonderland" package so we didn't have to worry about decorations. I'm so glad we did! Caitlin's staff made the event center look elegant and festive. They also corresponded with our live musicians and caterer to ensure the night went smoothly. Our employees had a wonderful time. Thank you, for helping us throw a fantastic party.
~ Dec 2017 The Dahl was perfect - Thank you so much for all your time, you were awesome to work with!
