Emmett Scott Event Center - Tyler, Texas

Lashun Brookins

Location is nice. There is plenty of parking for all guests. It is conveniently located across the street from the Emmett Scott Park. The overall facility is awesome. It is spacious enough for over 100 people. It comes with the tables and chairs. There are plenty of outlets in throughout the building too. The TV is available for use to display presentations, etc. It also comes with men & women restrooms. Here is an ice maker and refrigerator avail for use as well as multiple sinks if needed.

We have used this venue 2 years in a row, because it is the best & most reasonable for the time you are allowed the reservation. I highly recommend it for your next event.

Was a very nice venue for my mother’s 60th birthday. The night was perfect and it was just the right amount of space. Wouldn’t mind booking again for the future

This place is an amazing venue if you need to host 80-120 guests. The A/C works amazing and the kitchen is very spacious. We've done 2 parties here, a baby shower and a birthday party. The owner is very helpful and personable. There is plenty of space for people to eat, walk around, and just have some good old fashioned conversation. The venue also comes with an ice machine which is very helpful in a pinch even you come up short on a few bags of ice. Overall we love this place and will continue to use this venue for future events.

Very Nice Event Space. A/C works great, clean and they have a Ice Maker . That ice maker saved us some much time and hassle. They also have a Full size refrigerator and A BBQ grill with outside seating. The Venue Is across from a Nice park. The owner was very friendly , he showed me how to work every thing in his building. I would recommend 1000%

This was the perfect spot for our family reunion of 75. We had more than enough room to accommodate different activities. The children loved that the park was across the street. For some that like the outdoors, it was a nice shady sitting area for them to enjoy. Last, but not least the customer service was amazing from start to finish. Thank you from the Davis family.

We rented this for a gender reveal for my son and the building is Great! The owner is a lot like some are saying. He’s older and a lil not as right as I told him my opions. We cleaned the building with nothing left to clean and he went and inspected. I told him we cleaned and he can just give my $50 back instead of giving it to someone who has nothing to do. I just don’t think honest people would do that when you actually walked around and saw it was clean. But anyway I Love the building and it is Great. Don’t expect owner to be understanding, just business. Rent and know you will only get $200 back. To rent is $950, $375 and I forgot the last amount. You won’t be upset if you think like that. I will rent with that thought. Thank you!

At first he was nice, and even set out some tables . We were having fun until we noticed he was watching us on the cameras. And as you can see in some pictures posted ,he has taken pictures from up top with the cameras .that’s kind of creepy to be watching people . When the party ended us and 20 other people helped us clean the center and left it more clean than we found it. Which we didn’t have to clean at all but we were nice enough . When it came back to giving the $200 deposit back he wanted to say that we left the walls dirty and ceiling which we tried to clean and offered to come back and clean the rest . But he ignored it . Not to mention but the plugs in the kitchen were not working so we had to cook on the floor and the ice machine magically stopped working whenever he came back and had the audacity to ask if we messed with anything electrical like we know where that would be .so when my mom was on the phone with him talking about the 200$ deposit he hung up right in her face . So he took 250 dollars for cleaning we already did and we tried to be nice about things but he just wouldn’t .

I honestly thought this place was gonna be and amazing place to book. When i called he was super nice and open to letting us schedule my gender reveal. While the event was taking place we were being watched the ENTIRE TIME. He was lounging around and it was just very uncomfortable. On top of that he had NO intentions on giving the deposit back which was $250. 50$ of it was for “cleaning purposes” which we already did, we swept and mopped the place and even the extent to cleaning the walls AND CEILING because some of the powder from our confetti had got on it. Our even was over at 5 he was there at 4:35 walking around saying how his ice machine was not working which let me include we NEVER used. How his outlets weren’t working but they weren’t working when we were there that’s why they were cooking ON THE FLOOR because the only one that worked were the ones on the ground. He has no intentions on giving your deposit back so if your looking forward to it no what you do this man will find and excuse to not give it back. I hope this helped someone .
