Event Planner, Conference at the Red Oak Ballroom - San Antonio

Everything was wonderful! We were able to have the exhibitors set up early, which helped greatly. We were able to work on IT (conference was hybrid) prior to the even which helped greatly. We held one of our planning meetings there ahead of time, which was also helpful. And we cannot say enough wonderful things about Angel. He was gracious, professional, helpful, prompt and so much more. Just fantastic to work with. EVERYTHING was great, thank you so much!

Ana helped me plan my menu for my wedding which was this past weekend in Gruene, TX. She and the chef were amazing from the first tasting to planning the menu, and the wedding. The food and service provided was top notch. I would recommend.

We wanted to take the time to thank you guys for all your help and for making our wedding day special from the beginning to the end you made a stressful time a little less stressful for us. The staff that served us on our wedding day was excellent they were very accommodating and was so nice we really appreciate them. Also everyone raved about the food they said the steak was so tender and everything was flavored so good I told them I wish I had got a chance to taste the meal. I wish I had asked them to fix me a to go plate but I forgot so I ended up eating Jack in the Box (lol) so I was happy that things worked out the way it did and we ended up going with you guys caterer. So please let everyone that was involved know that we appreciate everything from the bottom of our heart.

We will highly recommend you guys to anyone looking for event space I know they won’t be disappointed.

The Red Oak Ballroom was the best location for my daughter’s celebration. The location was great and the staff, simply put, exemplary! Karen was professional and caring during the planning phase, handling the multitude of changes with patience. Ehab was amazing, from the helpful decorating hints to the attentiveness that bordered on clairvoyant. Aurtan, Aurtan, AURTAN!!!! I would need more space and a thesaurus to describe how she made my daughter’s night that much more enjoyable! AWESOME.

We keep coming back to Norris Conference Center year after year for our annual medical Symposium. The Norris staff is always friendly, helpful and well-prepared for any last-minute “emergencies” that may arise. Whether it’s the need for 20 additional lunches or a technical glitch with our equipment, the Norris staff is quick to address the problem and get everything back on track seamlessly. We really appreciate their efforts and look forward to returning. (San Antonio)

Where to begin? Armando, you are just amazing! You did a fantastic job and truly helped to make Sarah’s celebration a beautiful and flawless celebration. You are so professional and made our family along with our guest feel special, as though you were there to make sure each and every person at our event feel like you were there for them. You were by our side every minute of the day and night to take care of all our needs and to keep us on track. I can’t thank you enough for all you did. In fact all of your staff did the same. I will recommend you and the Norris Conference Centers to everyone I know.

Deborah, thank you for all your help with the preparations. You were so flexible and patient with us even with the last minute changes to the table setting. It was greatly appreciated to be able to set up the day before. It relieved so much stress so that we could enjoy the day of the celebration. You and all the staff at Norris are a fabulous group.

This year, NASA hosted the 33rd annual meeting of the Inter-Agency Space Debris Coordination Committee (IADC) in Houston during the week of March 30, 2015. Almost 150 orbital debris specialists from around the world attended. The Norris Conference Center and Texas A&M Mays Business School at CITYCENTRE provided the session and banquet rooms to make this event possible.

The IADC is an international governmental forum for the worldwide coordination of activities related to the issues of man-made and natural debris in space. Each year, IADC member agencies meet to exchange information on space debris activities and identify debris mitigation options. Member space agencies, now 13 as of 2015, rotate hosting the annual meeting and CITYCENTRE provided the perfect venue to the IADC this year.

NASA would like to formally thank the Norris Conference Centers for your professional service provided to the IADC members during the registration process, opening session, banquet dinner and closing session. Your facilities were ideal for our event and the praise received from our international colleagues throughout the week were numerous.

On behalf of NASA and the IADC, thank you again for your exceptional support in making our event a success.

NASA - Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center

The Norris Center worked out great!  It should be our go to location for future off sites.  The staff at the Center were accommodating.  All services were provided in line with the negotiated contract.   The team that attended complemented on the Center.  They were happy with the fact we held the meeting off site from the Facility.  The supplies we brought from our facility was more than met the need.  Appreciate your planning and prep work that led to our successful event.  Thank you.

Meeting - Houston/CityCentre, Event Planner

I just wanted to reach out to you and extend a very big thank you for all of your assistance in planning our meetings this week at the Norris Center.  We received very good feedback from our executive team, as well as the attendees.   We sincerely appreciate the upgrade to the larger space, as well as making it all very COVID-friendly. We will definitely be in touch in the future.

Meeting - Norris Centers/CityCentre, Event Planner

I just wanted to drop a quick note and thank you for the fantastic service we have had so far.  One of our franchisees just told me his tuna fish sandwich was the best he has ever had and people were raving about the breakfast tacos this morning.

I so appreciate all that you have done for us.

Absolutely phenomenal job. Would definitely recommend.

Our Coaches said that, of the 25-30 years and all the banquets they have attended in that time, last night’s was by far the best banquet they have ever been to. Everything was spectacular and I cannot thank you enough for everything you and your staff did to accommodate our event. It was a truly spectacular event; and your team was so easy to work with and very accommodating. We appreciate everything you did for us.

Ssocial Event - Houston/CityCentre
I have administer state testing to students for the last 2 years. I have been so grateful to have had Lillie to work with. Our testing can be challenging with unpredicted needs arising often. Lillie has made sure to assist us in multiple ways many times, and always with a smile. In addition to other things, she has made last minute room changes, helped us with technology, and even provided me with a band aid. She also goes out of her way to contact me when I leave messages.
Day Meeting - Houston/Westchase
From the first day arriving to your facility (Fort Worth/undance Square) I was in WOW! What an amazing space for conferences. Manny the manager on duty was one exceptional individual. Any request we had he was on top of it. His ability to stay late and then be there first thing in the morning with a welcoming smile really made an impact on everyone attending. I have attended many training conferences, but this one will leave a lasting impact. The staff was welcoming, helpful, and went over and beyond with any requests we had. Keep up the great work Manny, Karen, Mary, and all the other individuals who made the event a success!
Attendee - BNSF Corridor Regional Training #1
OUTSTANDING service! Your staff made my planning of the meeting, and the actual day of the meeting a breeze! I appreciate it very much. Planning a meeting remotely can be a challenge, but EVERYONE at Norris in San Antonio made my job easy! Flexible and accommodating!!The lounge areas gave the meeting attendees space to gather for personal conversations.

I appreciated that the food was left out long enough for people to pick – this was so helpful.

I can’t say praise you all enough!

Hi Gail,

Just wrapped up our event and wanted to send a huge Thank You to you and the rest of the Norris Center staff. Javier and his team were extremely helpful on-site and readily available if we ever needed anything. The room was perfect for our group size and setup. Everyone was also happy with how close the location is to our office. Thanks again for everything and I look forward to doing business with Norris in the future!
