LA Turner Center

Ignore this warning at your own risk. Unless they change management, the current manager’s name is Carole, DO NOT schedule an event here. I attended a Bar Mitzvah celebration here and in spite of the manager’s best (worst?) efforts, had a great time! The facilities were fine, but in the course of the event, the manager cussed at a guest, refused to allow the Bar Mitzvah boy to show the video montage he had created for the event, didn’t allow candles to be lit on his birthday cake (I get a no open flames rule, but really? on a birthday cake that’s going to be lit and immediately blown out??), and disputed both the beginning time of the event and the time in which they could start set up even though they were written in the contract. I could go on, but I’d rather re-​focus my attention on the joyous occasion and the fun we had in spite of the horrendous customer service.

I do not recommend this venue. It is nice however the air conditioner didn’t work and there was no toilet paper in the bathroom. We had to go to the store ourselves to get some toilet paper!!! If u would like this kind of service then it will accommodate you. Also the management is very unprofessional and rude. Carole was not very accommodating and spoke very rude to her clients. I am sure that the vendors at the event will no longer provide services at the LA Turners center. Management needs to change for this business to succeed. Carole has and is building a bad reputation for his venue. The florist was appalled at her comments about the flowers and the caterer was falsely accused of stealing. Beware it may cause a lot of strife for you and your vendors. I am sad that Carole was and is not trained to be a professional manager and I am afraid that she may end up in issues with some of her clients.

Recently had an event there, and I do NOT recommend. Not very accommodating and terrible customer service. You will be very disappointed if you decide to use this venue. Things may appear nice and Carole may seem friendly but she spoke terrible to her clients and about her clients behind their backs. She is not professional and can be very rude. This experience made my vendors very uncomfortable and unfortunately many have decided they will not provide any services at the LA Turners Center. Maybe, if management changes things may be different since it is a pretty nice place, until then I would not recommend.

Great venue, great price, great people. Carole was extremely accommodating and friendly. I would definitely recommend this venue for your event.

The Venue is nice. However, Carole, the lady who runs the venue is the problem. While booking she is pleasant. She was rude and domineering the whole entire evening. Thank goodness for chair cover. I found dog hair in some of the chairs. That should have been her concern, not policing our event. She stalked us the whole evening making sure nothing was spilled on the floor. She made everyone feel uncomfortable including our guest. Asked us to turn down the music that was not loud at all. When I went out to throw away the trash you could not hear the music. She ended the event early by cutting on the lights. I have to say go somewhere else, you want a comfortable setting for your special moments. She is the primary contact for this venue. Until that changes there will always be a problem.
