Testimonials

I have worked as the coordinator for Iowa Pet Breeders Association and
the event department at Meskwaki Convention Center for the last
three years. Teri Bishop and her staff have been extremely professional
and have cooperated in meeting our needs to put on our Annual Seminar
and Trade Show. The meals and catering staff have been fantastic and our attendees look forward to the great food provided. Meskwaki has the
whole package: Event Center, Inexpensive Hotel accommodations, fine restaurants and excellent catering services and great entertainment to
boot. We look forward to them hosting our future events. My personal experience with working with Teri and staff gets rated as Five Stars *****(excellent).

We could not have been happier with our daughter's wedding reception.
Teri and the Meskwaki Convention Center were wonderful to work with. The reception, dinner, and dance were perfect. The center was beautiful and the
food delicious. Teri and her staff anticipated all our needs. We are still receiving compliments from our guests regarding the food and service.
The entire Meskwaki Venue was wonderful! We had guests attending from 14 different states (including Alaska) and they all enjoyed the motel, spa, restaurant, casino, and of course the reception hall. It was a "one stop shopping" so made their stay easy and enjoyable!

From the beginning of the experience with Teri Bishop to the end of two years of conventions, it was so pleasant to work with the Meskwaki staff. Teri was exceptional to work with regarding our room and Convention Center reservations. Teri suggested different arrangements that had not been thought of or mentioned by any previous hotel we had contacted. The rooms were always cleaned during our stay and the catering staff did an outstanding job on the preparations and serving of 170 persons. Electronic equipment was made available for our use and any changes we suggested were made immediately. There were no complaints voiced from our group. We did not feel pushed to leave after the convention and all in all it was an outstanding experience. We plan to be back. Thank you Teri and all staff.

In June 2010 we held the Public Defenders Seminar at the Meskwaki Casino/Hotel. We have approximately 300 people that attended this seminar (Attorneys and Investigators). The meeting rooms were great and set up as requested. The staff were very good and they handled all the last minute requests and needs effortlessly. More over the staff was friendly and courteous the whole 3 days we were there. The noon buffet luncheon was fantastic. The hotel rooms were some of the nicest rooms we have stayed at and the hotel staff were great to deal with. We enjoyed it so much we have booked with them again for this years seminar.

We had a great experience at Meskwaki! Our wedding reception was fantastic! Not to mention the conference center is a beautiful place for a reception and everything was right there! We had a lot of out of town guests who loved their experience at the hotel! Everything turned out perfect and we loved the fact that there were dishes, glasses, napkins, decorations and lights as well as pipe drapery and projectors that were available for us to use! Liz Olson did a fantastic job pulling everything off and was so helpful and quick to respond to my million and a half questions! We got so many wonderful comments about the decorations, the room, and the food! I would defiantly recommend Liz and her team to anyone who was looking for a worry free place to hold a reception or event of any kind! Thanks Liz for your advice and all the hard work that went into making our day so special!
