I highly recommend using Bridge View Center for any upcoming events. Emily is fantastic to work with and was able to quickly pivot from helping me plan my wedding of 140 guests down to under 10 guests so that we could still celebrate our wedding on the original date. The micro wedding was set up in a conference room and was beautifully decorated. All the staff were super friendly, professional, and went above and beyond their duties. Chef Bob’s cooking is the best cooking in town, I highly recommend finding a reason to dine at Bridge View! I was very pleased with my experience!

Went to church at the bridge,for the first time, last Sunday. Pastor Marty is an amazing speaker and held my attention COMPLETLY. Lovely service, and a super welcoming atmosphere. I will def be going back!

I love this place!No matter what the event, coming here always feels special and intriguing.Also love the clean environment and natural light

Awesome just received some food from a donation they had today. Thank you very much appreciated.

This review is for the music equipment they have installed North of the building. Not only is it fun its educational and creates an activity for the family that is free. Its riverside so you have a great view. Its great for the community and if you havent checked it out..... I encourage you to.

Was there for a wedding. The food was good and the staff was able to get everything out quickly for a large gathering. Ample parking. Nice exterior views of the river.

It was a good visit. Not as much at the gun show this year, but understandable. This year is crazy. The food was Wonderful.

DJ DAS Entertainment had a great time celebrating with Tara & Emerson at the spacious Bridgeview Center in Ottumwa. Ceremony was outside on the patio along the river and it was gorgeous.

Nice place. Good day at the gunshow...

We had a heartfelt experience talking about concerts from our past and all worked out and no problems

They are so amazing. I thank God for the church. Thank you all for the amazing work you all you do.

Went to a craft show with many good vendors.

Always looks really clean. They have some good concerts

Nice facility for the dog show. Located along the river with plenty of walking trails. Chef Bob and his team served up some wonderful meals and at a great price too. Plenty of parking and easy on and off from the highway.

Small venue offering good views of stage. Acoustics better than in some other area venues Ive been in. Comfy seats with decent leg room.

For a town of fewer than 30,000 people, the modern sophistication seen here is stunning. Its not just well maintained, its big but user friendly, flexible and makes us proud when we have dignitaries in town, from members of the Trump family during the campaign to Joe Biden toward the end of his tenure, Kenny Rogers, professional wrestling, community theater and home shows. Ive never been for a private event, like a wedding, so I cant review that, but the public events seem flawless.

Very nice facility. Getting good shows lately. Im looking forward to seeing Dwight Yoakam there next week.

Great location for concerts, very comfortable chairs (center floor seating). Bring earplugs if very loud music isnt your thing. Good food at concession stand and good live music in the lobby area to listen to before the concert (saw Dwight Yokem) good size parking lot. Knowledgeable and friendly staff.

Very nice venue. Enjoyed the supper before the show also

Great place for entertainment in Ottumwa. Always a quality performance. Glad we have it!

The BRIDGE CHURCH has used this location for the past 12 years to share the word of God with over a thousand people loving the opportunity to enrich our lives.Everyone is welcomed as they are. It is a wonderful way to learn about what this world truly needs....LOVE. Highly recommended. This is an invitation to join us any Sunday at 9:00 or 10:45.

An excellent venue for large and small events! I was very thankful that they offered free WiFi, and I enjoyed the marvelous river view walkway.

Had a great time price was good for tickets lots of fun will come back

So nice to have this venue in Ottumwa. They have some really great concerts here

A great addition to Ottumwa. Good shows, coming up are 2 of my favorite events, the Christmas Ball the first Saturday in Dec. And January 18th the very popular 25 Men who Cook competition!

Crowd should be made to stay seated so everyone can see.

My booth at Craft and vendors fair 2019

Its nice to enjoy yourself

Was at Bridge View Center for a wedding. Venue was good. Spacious, neat design. The food catered to the wedding was decent. Average for a facility like this one. Bathrooms were clean and spacious.

I was very pleasantly surprised that the Garden Brothers Circus was so good.Although the prices were a bit much the experience of a circus was as good as I remember as a child. Not only that but my boy loved it too, that is a memory he can cherish forever.

Great venue! Bathrooms are close to the arena doors, plenty of drink and food lines so youre not spending a lot of time waiting.

I went to that wearhouse sale and it was alright. I didnt end up buying anything because I didnt want to wait in line. Lol it is a pretty nice place and they hold many events. If youre in the area and see something going on it wouldnt hurt to stop in and check it out.

Very welcoming place. The concert was fantastic and the event well planned!

I got to see Bernie here! It was awesome!

Was there for a gun and knife show.

It was very clean and as a place for a vendor fair

Went to gun show loved it bunch of great deals

Went and saw Newsboys United at Bridgeview Center and they was awesome theyre light show and their stage show was great.

I was disappointed. The seating is SMALL and bleachers are barely comfortable for a childs behind. About the width of your hand. Im sure seating on the floor is much better...but the price is bigger. We also asked for an * end* seat due to a physical condition in needing to get out fast...well, we got an end seat right up against a rail about 10 rows up. We had to fight ALL THE WAY TO THE ISLE. I will say there isnt a *bad* seat as far as seeing the performance, hence the 2 stars.

Well laid out, easy to find your event

Great place to go for a walk down by the river. Cool music park for all ages.

Forget about building a hotel, remodel the inside with better seats

Nice facility, horrendous parking for events. Went for the Gary Allan concert on March 23rd. Their sections for seating on the lower level are literally marked with paper on the floor, and the seats arent numbered; which makes for a lot of confusion. It would also be nice if they mentioned the lower level seating is NOT stacked.Overall we enjoyed the concert, but the facility itself sort of tries to be like its larger counterparts in larger cities without being able to support the number of people attending. The parking is a total mess and if your event is a big one (i.e. concerts) youll hope the beach isnt open, because the majority of parking was over there.

Went there to watch an orchestra and I loved the environment and the diversity of events that are held there. I hope I continue to go there for future events

Great food-great wine.

It is a beautiful building, always clean, always smells great and great entertainment. We are lucky to have a place like that in Southern Iowa.

Very nice facility.

Great venue, easy to get in & out.

Renovating for opening!

The Bridge Church is amazing! If youre ever looking for a church that welcomes everyone with open arms, come check it out.

Had a good time at wrestling events

Annie Jr. was amazing the kids did an excellent job. What a show they put on!

VIP area was too small. Pay extra to not fight crowd and still had too...

I go to church here and I think that it is a great place to worship the Lord

Its a great place for lots of activities shows baseball concerts of all kinds and you can rent rooms for other things like wedding reception but Im not sure of this you can contact them in the phone book

Great food sampleling.Clean area.

Great venue for the Iowa Motion Picture Association

Ive attended everything from a concert to a mothers day brunch, to small group meetings to expos at bridge view center and they have always done an amazing job. The team there at bridge view ate accommodating, helpful and always on point! Dont be afraid to have your next meeting here or wedding reception, the chef will make you anything from cookies to gourmet appetizers! Keep up the great work bridge view team!

The show was awesome however by the end of it because of the number of people standing in the walking area anyone trying to get through ended up on my lap. Crowd control is nonexistent and to top it off they closed a concession stand in the middle of the shows intermission telling the people waiting in line to go to the back of another line and wait again.

Love the Bridge Church here! And also attended the circus here and the kids thoroughly enjoyed that!

Actually have visited WAYYYY MORE since, however, is ALWAYS Clean, pleasant atmosphere. Restrooms spacious and attended too!

I got to meet and speak with Chef Bob. What an amazing man!!!Thank you, Chef!

Came here for a convention. Awesome facility! Clean, organised! Lots of parking. :)

They do a great job with various events. The best time to visit is Sunday morning to catch one of the services of The Bridge Church. Great music, awesome messages all that focus on the love Jesus has for us all.

Great addition to the town. Seems to not advertise much and needs ways to cut costs for families.

Visited with some friends. Great service. Loved the music, and the preaching was very easy to understand and relate to. Kids loved Sunday School program!

Attend church at THE BRIDGE and the entire building is beautiful. Everywhere you look you have a great view of Ottumwa.

Never been to an event there or anything, but there are alot of pokestops for pokemon go. Thats pretty cool.

This place was amazing it had all the neccesidies and it was very well cleaned!

Its a nice meeting place by the river for a few 1000 people but its bleachers are hard, no cushion.

Been a wonderful change from. The original bridge veiw with allot of venues to choose from localy

Love turned to despere

Top notch service with everyone there. Our Christmas party was perfect

Its big, has room for alot of big and small events & has alot of variety with their events.

Love love love the show. Staff was very helpful, drink prices were a bit pricey especially for someone who wasnt drinking alcohol. But all in all a good experience

Watched a great night of cage fights and a very nice place

Its beautiful. The bleachers need cushions though

Aaron Lewis concert was AMAZING!!

This venue is amazing and big! So much room for activities!

Beautifil facility. Nice areas for all kinds of events

Nice facility, love the old pictures of Ottumwa in the lobby. The only knock is that seems like it is overbooked at times, so it get crowded.

Very nice place

Great craft show.

Great place for all kind of things

State of the art facility.

Great place for all types of events!

We loved the Newsboys

We rented part of the lobby for a celebration of life lunch and gathering. We arranged for catering from the Bridge View Center and had about 60 people in attendance. The tables and place settings were beautiful and the food was very good. Id recommend this place for a get together or party.

Lot of different things going on

Im so glad to attend the bridge church

Went to church there on Sunday morning. Great service and couldnt ask for nicer people. Makes you want to go back when in the area .

Very nice and friendly when we were there for a concert

Shall convention center. Can be interesting

Good seats and helpful people to make your visit fun

First time at the Bridge View Center facility. What a letdown! It had horrible, uncomfortable seating. It is just a big awful shell, no personality. Hopefully, I wont have any reason to go back.

Very nice place!!

Great venue to see and explore!

Building is very nice and conference rooms are also nice. Was easy to hear and see.

Parking is a bit of a challenge, but nice venue

Its a very clean neat spacious Auditorium seats arent very wide so if your a heavy or person you might have to squeeze in easy to get in and out of need more parking
