I attended a beautiful wedding reception this evening and the event center was perfect. The draped ceilings were dreamy, the chandeliers are breath taking and the lights are pure magic.

We had our wedding reception here and the place was great! It was beautiful and the manager was extremely helpful. The DJ and bartender were fantastic too!

Its a fun place for a reception, booze prices kinda high.

Used for Christmas Party. Clean. Comfortable.

Great Venue for large gatherings. Elegant and fun. Great people to work with!

This is a wonderful place to have a meet in the middle wedding and it was Great.

I had my dream wedding and reception at the Roxy and Amelie Event Centers in April and it was perfect! From the beautiful sheers they did, to the amazing dinner they made, to the lights and sound system for the awesome dance party. They truly had everything I needed for my wedding in one place. It made planning my wedding so easy and stress free. It looked so soft and romantic just like I had always envisioned my wedding to be. The staff was wonderful and I never had to worry for anything. Cant recommend this place for all your wedding needs more!!!

Its a wonderful place to hold any event!

We used the Event Center for our wedding and it was absolutely perfect. Charlie was wonderful to work with. We communicated on the daily and his responses were always within minutes. The space was by far the largest facility for our 270 guest list within a 30 mile radius, not to mention most affordable for that large of a group. We were more than pleased and would recommend the center to anyone!

We had our wedding here and it was absolutely phenomenal. Charlie made my day everything I couldve ever dreamed of and more. I had zero stress all day long and the ceremony took place in the Amelie and was beautiful. The reception was at the Roxy and it was absolutely perfect. My husband and I had a wonderful time and our guest said the same thing. I would recommend getting married here every single time any of my friends ask. I cannot say enough great things about the Williams Event company and Charlie Brown!! Thanks Again!!!

Attended my daughters marriage at this venue and was very pleased with the facility and their staff. The wedding was beautiful and the food was delicious!!!

I am a bridal makeup artist and have done many brides makeup at this venue. I am always pleased with the Amelie/Roxy and so are my brides! It always looks great and Charlie is very helpful. Would definitely recommend (and often do!).

Awesome venue! Absolutely the best in the area no doubt! Perfect for any special occasion...weddings, receptions, showers, reunions, parties etc.! Charlie Brown is the very best, hell make sure your event is nothing short of PERFECTION!!!

Very easy to make a reservation. Very spacious venue. Great for big parties and weddings.

The Amelie Event Center is a beautiful venue, versatile for any occassion. I have worked some breathtaking weddings, company events, concerts, Fat Tuesdays, wedding shows, receptions, banquets, and the list goes on.Charlie Brown is an amazing planner, he goes above and beyond to give the best to his patrons. From DJs, music, bar services, stages, catering, decorating, to clean-up, this is the ideal place to plan an event.

My sister got married this past weekend and her wedding reception was held at the Amelie Event Center in Joplin. The reception hall itself was beautiful, but that is where our good experience ended. When the bridal party arrived Friday morning to decorate for the reception on Saturday, not only were there no tables or chairs set up, but the event manager/coordinator/owner had lost all of the very detailed plans that my sister had sent him. This was not the first time that he had lost the instructions or the timeline for Saturday. I believe my sister sent it to him 4 times.At the reception itself, everything was just bad. The sound system was terrible, with static and feedback echoing in the hall that everyone could hear, except for the event manager apparently. After we pointed out to him that no one could hear the speeches because of the static, he had no idea what to do to fix it. He was also operating as the DJ, so he was speaking into the microphone himself on multiple occasions. The problem was, no one ever knew what he was saying. My father led the opening prayer, and everyone could understand him, and the other speeches were able to be understood as well (except for the static and feedback), so we know it wasnt an issue with the microphone. Ill just say it was the most energetic mumbling Ive ever heard. No one knew what was going on at any time because they couldnt understand what he was saying. The Bridal Party Introduction was awkward because no one could understand what he was saying. It was awkward for everyone but him, apparently, as he excitedly told my father, Did you see that Introduction?? It was the best Ive ever done! It made my hair stand on end. My father and I both asked him multiple times to speak slower and more clearly into the mic, and it never improved.I could keep going, but I will just highlight a few more things.He played the wrong song for the Father/Daughter Dance.He played all the songs from the DO NOT PLAY list. The same one we sent him 4 times.He also played the wrong song for the Last Dance song, and no one knew to be paying attention to the Last dance, because, again, no one could understand him.He was constantly pestering the Bride and Groom about the timeline for the evening (the one he lost 4 times) instead of asking myself, or better yet, the wedding coordinator we employed to handle those issues. WE asked him to please leave the Bride and Groom alone multiple times, and he just wouldnt do it.As I aside before, the venue is beautiful, but I cant in good conscience recommend it, if you are required to use this guy as the DJ and coordinator as well.

As a Minister of Marriage I have been apart of several wedding held at the Amelie and I can honely say I have never been more impressed then I am with the venue as well as the event manager. The venue is beautiful and the manager is very professional makes sure every last detail is in place and that the event starts on time. When asked where I would recommend someone to have their event Amelie and Roxy(both owner and opperated by same people) are the only answer I give.

Very nice facility

I have been there several times for several different reasons and it always looks amd tastes AMAZING!! I strongly recommend this as a place for weddings, receptions reunions, whatever you need, they seem to be able to do it!!!!

Amazing they did my sisters wedding.....

Ive attended a few events here including 2 fundraisers for a place near and dear to my heart. The staff and venue are incredible! I highly recommend them for anything youre planning from weddings, to Christmas Parties, to your next benefit. They can do it all.

Old town atmosphere, close parking, and clean facility.

Just had our wedding at the Roxy last night and I couldnt have had a better wedding! Not one thing went wrong charlie and josh are the BEST coordinators ever! Thankyou so much for making our day be everything we wanted!!!

I was in the catering and event planning business for years in Branson, Missouri. I understand the many issues that a venue and planners have to deal with when trying to satisfy a client. Some brides want to have a fairy tale wedding like Princess Di on a food stamp budget. Bridezilla and the many other reality shows about Brides are what event planners deal with daily. The best thing a Bride can do is hire a venue and event planner that is experienced. Brides are doing this for the first time, while the event planner has done it hundreds, if not thousands of times. Please listen to them and use their knowledge and experience to make your wedding day better than you could ever imagine.Charlie Brown is the event planner at Amelies Event Center. He is the best of the best! He magically turns a thousand dollars worth of decor into a million dollar view. His suggestions are not only cost effective, but beautiful. He seemingly flies from one event to another making sure that the wedding is going as planned. He jumps into action when a Brides vision is not working ( as he often told her it would not work before her special day, repeatedly ) and he turns the fail into a wonderful success. Mr. Brown is not the event planner that takes your money and disappears. He is there from beginning to end. He is the great guy that welcomes you on the first visit to the venue, walks you through the process, suggests how you can make your dream come true, is there from your first moment of your wedding day till you ride away into a fun filled honeymoon. New York, L.A., and Chicago are were 99% of the best event planners in the world work. The other 1% is Charlie Brown in Joplin, Missouri.

Ive been to several events at this venue, superb experience and service. Charlie is great at assistinf guests with anything they need

Beautiful venue right in the heart of downtown. Staff is very helpful. Made the wedding of our dreams a reality.

Wonderful experience!! Couldnt have asked for anything better!! Place is beautiful and Charlie is amazing!!!

My husband and I held our wedding reception at the Amelie on April 16th, 2016. The guests all agreed that it was a beautiful hall and from the pictures, one would think that the event went off without a hitch. This is far from true. I feel a responsibility to warn future brides of what having your wedding and/or reception at the Amelie could really be like.The manager of the Amelie and the Roxy – Charlie Brown – presents well. We scheduled 3 meetings with Charlie Brown to go over schedule, music and plans and there was never a DJ at any of these meetings even though he kept assuring me there would be at the next.Charlie did not set up tables as promised and the day before the wedding led a bunch of our friends to the back where they rolled out tables and chairs and they began to set them up. Some of my friends were on laundry duty because Charlie didnt have enough clean table cloths for the tables. I asked Charlie if he had looked at the chart Id sent him and he hadnt so the first time he even bothered to look at it was right in front of me when I thought I was going to be decorating. We didnt have enough time to decorate everything because of this and when I was finally rushing out the door to go to my nail appointment, leaving behind some friends to try to finish up, I asked Charlie what it was he wanted to talk about. He said “well, we need to plan your event! Like what order do you want things in? What song do you want Michael and his mom to dance to?” I about melted right there on the bar. “We planned all of this! I gave you print outs. I emailed you copies. We met twice and went over all of this. Where are all of the plans and notes that we gave you and you took?!” He literally said, “Hm. Well they might be at my house somewhere...” I had to leave because I had an appointment, so I spent my pedicure screen-shotting all of the forms Id made and texting them to my wedding coordinator – begging her to straighten Charlie out.At our wedding reception, I did not get to eat dinner with my husband. Charlie pulled him to the side just as we got to our table with our food and 15 minutes later I approached them and asked Michael what they were talking about. “He wants to know what order we want things done in. Like when we want the dances and...” I was pissed. “No. We planned all of this. I made spread sheets and timelines and gave Charlie all of the information he needs. Come eat dinner with me.” We had bought 9 bottles of different flavors of sparkling juice and cider for the bridal party and family. Charlie only ever brought out 3 bottles and none of the family ever had a sip. When we confronted him a week later, he was only able to give back 2 bottles.Most of our friends are used to public speaking and did fine with the microphone but none of our guests could understand anything Charlie said all night. After our planned dances, Charlie went back to playing oldies – not even good oldies – and the mood completely died. He even played some songs from my “please do not play” list.Charlie Brown kept interrupting us as we greeted guests the entire evening. We spent most of our wedding reception trying to siphon Charlie off on the wedding coordinator or bridal party so that we could greet people and TRY to enjoy ourselves.After awhile of unsuccessful attempts from our family and bridal party, I finally approached Charlie myself and said “Charlie, you havent played anything that I have asked you to. I really want to dance with my friends. Please start playing the music on my list now. Thank you.” By that time over half of our guests had left the dead atmosphere that was our apparently unknown-oldies-themed wedding celebration. My wedding coordinator stood in the booth with him while he scanned YouTube looking for normal dance songs like the macarena (which stopped half-way through and restarted...longest macarena ever) and the cha-cha-slide. He seemed to have been using Pandora and YouTube to DJ all night - which explains why songs I asked him not to play kept popping up.

Pretty place

Very beautiful place for events

Venue for most any occasion or style.

Bad location, gravel parking lot on the side of the building across the street

Not impressed
