“The Friday Center was truly fantastic to work with every step of the way. The room recommended for us was a perfect fit, and parking was a breeze for our attendees.

Snacks provided by the Friday Center were a great treat for our visitors, and we are thankful for the flexibility provided to us when we had to make a last-minute adjustment to our meeting time. We will definitely use the Friday Center in the future for other important events.”
