Testimonials
"With the collective expertise of the Peoria Civic Center staff supporting you, planning events is easy and the results are always a success. Chef Mike Stephans and his crew really outdid themselves again this year - the buffet line moves quickly and everyone is seated within a few minutes with a fresh, hot breakfast."
- Gina Edwards, VP of Marketing and Communications, Heart of Illinois United Way
"The staff did a super job! The 60th Reunion Committee could not have asked for a better dinner event. The entire staff is professional and we would recommend the Civic Center as the place to have an event of this nature. It was first class all the way!"
- William Troy, Delta Rho 60th Anniversary Dinner
"On a scale of 1-10, my experience at the Civic Center was definitely a 10. Every request I had from my first contact through my last was met with a smiling face, responding, 'Sure, No problem'."
- Jill Keel, Caterpillar Inc.

"Over the years that the Washington Community High School Prom has been held at the Peoria Civic Center I have had the pleasure to get to know the catering staff, which is top notch. I know that all I have to do is ask and there will be an equitable solution. I would not hesitate to recommend your facility and staff to anyone who needs to put on an event. I am already lined up to use the facility next year and to be in the new ballroom."
- James Tenhaken, Head Junior Class Sponsor for Washington Community High

"Incomparable operation. I tell other venues they should learn from Peoria. Your organization makes this market more attractive than the size of the city or quality of the venue would normally warrant. Peoria benefits from Debbie Ritschel and a staff that makes people want to do a show in your city. I always think of Peoria in considering markets for shows I represent."
- David Bucksner, President, Exceptional Artists
