Reviews of Columbia Metropolitan Convention Center

Grace Yvonne Stevenson

I have absolutely nothing to complain about working with the metropolitan convention center. It's a fantastic venue in the concrete Vista arts district. They provide excellent service along with organize planning and they can even be flexible which is extremely rare in the venue industry. I think. If I had any suggestion at all, it would be just to make it bigger so that the employees who work there can continue to make it better along with the city. Their staff has that indescribable x Factor quality. That just makes one a winner.

R Kinard

I attended South Carolina Adult Education’s Celebrating Our Success Event today at the Columbia Metropolitan Convention Center. What a great experience! The facility is spacious, modern, and clean. It is the perfect venue to accommodate large groups in need of multiple meeting spaces. The lunch buffet was enjoyable and all the food was well seasoned and tasty. All of the staff members were friendly and accommodating. I especially would like to recognize one of your staff members-Kimberly. I encountered Kimberly several times throughout the event and each time she assisted me with a smile and the best attitude. Thanks again for such a great experience.

Brian Simmons

First time seeing a cheerleader competition & Enjoyed It Tremendously! My brother’s granddaughters from Charlotte came in first place in their age group. Alot of vendors & merch were available in these Lovely Venue for any affair. Second time here for a function

Carasmatic Creations

Love the service at this convention center. I was attending a conference and checked off vegan on my registration. When I arrived for lunch there was absolutely nothing available to eat. I let one of the servers know and the chef cooked up a special dish in literally 10 minutes that was Absolutely Delicious. Thank you for your service!

Paige Cooper

I was here for a focus group and felt welcomed the whole time. The breakfast pastries were delicious. While lunch was just a sandwich, the sandwich was full of ham and it was delicious. The cookies were great too. If you're hosting an event in Columbia I'd highly recommend CMCC.

Jennifer Hoffman

School dance for my daughter went flawlessly! Thank you for a beautiful experience

George Alexander Sr

Went there for the A Moment of Hope banquet. Facilities were immaculate. Staff friendly and helpful. Dinner and staff superb. Great place for your next meeting or convention.

Brandi Dugar

This event space is very niceand spacious! There was another event being hosted at the time of the event I was there for. So,if that can give you any indication as to how spacious it is...that would be it. Very clean!! I have been here for a Black Expo some years back so I was very familiar with the space.

Archie Mack

Columbia desperately needs a larger convention center. The city and region have outgrown this current offering. Exhibitions are tightly packed in the current setup. It is clean and well taken care of however. City leaders really need to think about expansion so that more high-quality conventions and exhibitions can come to the city.

Charles R

The convention center is a great place to have large gatherings. I have been to three different times for a variety of events including the Beer Fest and a Easter service. Every time the facility has been clean and well maintained. The environmental systems have always been set to a comfortable level. The grounds are well maintained and clean. There is a weird gazebo out back, but nothing that bothers me.

DJ Nikko

it was a great adventure, unfortunately covid slowed down the greatest bridal show of the year. There still was an overwhelming turnout!

Melina Favor

I enjoyed the event. The food was good to my surprise. The steak was too red for me but the fish and the rice was excellent.

Victor Herz

It is a nice, clean, and comfortable place for conferences. The rooms are equipped with the necessary elements used for any type of presentation. The whole place will definitely provide companies and people what they need to get their training and information.

Lady Invy

Many of us visited this center with our church this past weekend. Very clean place to have an event. Everything was so lovely. It's nicely decorated and we loved it here.

Janet Beach

Been here for 3 Graduations, it is a great location, parking is easy & convenient. The center itself is easy to navigate & find where you need to be, bathrooms are easy accessible, and very clean... The centers staff are helpful & super friendly... Each experience has been a great experience for our family...

Aaron Lucas

Attended the King of The Streets Car and Bike Show. The facility was nice, clean, spacious and accommodating. Would recommend for a car and bike show.

Jenny F

I have been there a few times for different events. Parking is close and it is handicap accessible. The staff is friendly. Please note that it has a clear bag policy.

Anne-Marie Turton

Great event place. Large spacious meeting rooms and very clean facilities.

Kimberly Hall

Spacious,clean, great staff. Most rooms can accommodate at least 200 person's. Great location for large gatherings. Close to various hotels as well as many places to eat.

Tony Banco

9-11 event in Columbia is always great. You can tell the people that do this really stand behind the words "We will NEVER Forget" Only attend a few other events in the past and the building is very nice.

Josh Burrell

Great time at the SC GREEN meeting! Lots of information about new products out there !! There were tons of vendors there ready to let you know what the latest tricks of the trade!!

Nicole English Harris

Went to monster jam here! Wonderful staff, clean establishment.

TJ Lester

What a beautiful venue! This is my 2nd trip here. I came for the Winter Pest Control Conference. The building is gorgeous. The staff are all very nice people. The event itself has been extraordinary! I love this location. I can't wait to come back for the next event. Also, the place is very clean. They take a great deal of pride in this establishment. And, it definitely shows❤

Sherri Davis

Went to the bridal show here and we had a great time

Shane Sammons

Sam Silva

Kameelah Khaalid

Very clean. Decent food. Awesome staff.

Ginger Wernicke

Two granddaughters had piano performance concerts

Amanda Smith

Online graduation was held here an they did a good job on the presentation. They need to make sure there are signs in the future telling you what doors to use, instead of making you walk everywhere.

BB Craft Creations (Nakia B.)

I've been to many occasions here. Always wonderful

Dora Jarrett

Great place for vendors attending conventions.

Patrick Armstrong

Linda Bartley Bailey

ricka boo

Mark Widdis

Curt Edsall

When we need space for our educational seminar and breakout rooms the convetion ceter was AWESOME! Great staff, great service! We hope to come back every year! Thank you CMCC!

A W

Great comics, awesome costume and nothing but pure talent in the building

Randy Dailey

Volunteered for the TUNNEL TO TOWERS 9-11 remembrance run. 3 yr for wife and kids. 2 yr for me

The Anxious Mom

Went to a career fair here. It was fantastic. The staff was friendly and the place was top notch.

Phil Allison

The convention center is pretty good. The staff are friendly and it's a large place to run. The cleanliness of the restrooms over the course of a two day event were really not good. It was obvious the next morning that the restrooms had not been cleaned the night before. They also close their concessions before the hosted events end, but don't allow food in. This seems counter intuitive and counter productive to having events there.

Joyce Matthews

Very kind and considerate workers, even after spending long working hours. Clean and comfortable.

Cynthia Campbell

Very excited Women's Empowerment Seminar at the Columbia Metropolitan Center in Columbia SC

Tracy McGee

It was good to get out and to be back in the business of going to conventions. Staff was wearing masks and kept things sanitized. A wonderful night of experiences.

Francoise Crowell

The University of South Carolina's College of Nursing held it convocation ceremony here. I have been here on several occasions for other events and really enjoyed myself. The staff is friendly. The building is beautiful. Depending on what is going on getting in and out can be a pain but this is definitely a nice venue.

Shawn Clark

The place is comfortable but some of the rooms were a bit dingy. The layout is good. Parking was on point. The cafe is lacking for the traffic that was there. There were thousands of people and the cafe was very limited. But there are several restaurants within walking distance. The walk was very pleasant as well.

Columbiasouthcarolina lifestyle

Awesome 😎 looking to attending Comic Con on August 20-21,2022 …

LAVONIA Street

Had a great day at the Women's Empowerment Conference

Michael “Bear” Williams

We attend several events here throughout the year and the Convention Center is always clean and comfortable! They organize fun and affordable events all year round, and they organize the building well depending on the event! It's always a fun day attending an event here! Parking can be confusing at first, but usually there's an open deck available.

Sheila Jurgensmeyer

Had meetings there an it was very clean am staff were helpful to me.

Aniket Bhattacharya

Visited the convention center for a day-long academic meeting on 12th February, 2020. It is quite spacious, very well maintained and can easily accommodate over 200 people. The restroom was clean. The building is well marked and can easily be spotted, even in heavy traffic.

Joseph Cutro

Big room's and plenty of comfortable chairs. Place is clean throughout and organized. Security was visable throughout the convention center. I enjoyed the show in the main ballroom. Seating was comfortable and plenty of seats available. More handicap parking is needed.

Jeff Tiller

SC Green convention. Nice venue

Trish Messinger

Nice venue, clean and ease to get in an out

Jennie Gibson

I love playing for big money and Miss Mary the owner is a very wonderful good-hearted person and I like this bingo because she treats everyone fairly and because it's paper only so you have a better chance of winning,,............

Melissa Morette

Always clean and easy to get around.

Tanya Towne

Clean facility and great staff. I do question the recycling though. I watched the custodian changing the bags out, trash and recycling. He didn't separate them. He put them all in the same can. I wonder how they can distinguish the bags to actively recycle. Maybe they should have different colored bags or use different trash cans?

Christina Stevenson

Pieces of a Dream concert moved to CMCC. It was a GREAT show and wished that all events were held there. Even with lawn chairs indoors it was a FANTASTIC time. Plenty of parking, AC, Nice/Clean bathrooms and GREAT Food Carts. FABULOUS NIGHT.

Ronnie Dawsey Jr

Took my daughter to The Soda City Comic-Con. She had a blast seeing all her favorite princesses and favorite superheroes. I had fun also, because I didn't have to be an adult. Military Discount is always a plus!

Milton Weatherford

Divine 9 Time Came out to Represent The Brothers of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity Incorporated.

Cortney Bowers

Dont get anything to eat in the little cafe unless you have hit the lottery. Goodness high priced for no reason at all. Parking is limited but it is in the middle of the city. If the prices come down in the cafe I'll give it 5 stars, the high prices are not needed. Because your with in walking distance of several resturants.

Carol Butler

Everything was way over priced. I paid $5 for popcorn that wasn't even tasty. They were under staffed for the event so the condiment table was nasty and my granddaughter had to go without ketchup. The girl was supposed to bring some back but never did. We missed a lot of the event because we were in line forever. Parking was horrible. I'm on oxygen and had to walk a long way to the door and couldn't find a ramp. (I have bad knees as well). Got inside and it wasn't any better.

Alan Smith

I've been to several events here over the years. All in all it's a really nice place. The food service is great and the food is decent. Parking is easy due to the massive parking lot. Getting in and out can be a hassle due to the location.

Laura Hatt

Destinee

I have been to numerous events at this location from weddings to forums to conferences and all were really nice and always professional and clean.

Edwin Purvee

The facilities were very nice, however the location is poorly mismanaged. The staff are overly aggressive in enforcing no outside food, even to the point of going after parents giving snacks to their toddlers. The staff seems incapable of adjusting environmental controls to match current conditions. The wifi allows enough connections, however the facility does not have enough bandwidth and during even a moderate sized event, the latency becomes a huge problem with even web mail apps not loading for several minutes. Also while there is full 4g coverage outside of the building, cell phone reception within drops calls and nearly no data usage transfers through on both the AT&T and Verizon networks.

Sam Kazee

The "vista" area downtown has many and various dining options and the convention center is very clean. I stayed at the Hilton. I didn't get to the dessert & coffee shop down the street. Very interesting. The state capital building 3 blocks away is a nice one. Designed by the same guy as the White House.

Sarita Berry

Went there to play Bingo nobody much wearing mask and management didn’t seem to care. When mentioned I was told security would come around and make them but been here 4 hrs no security has walked through!

Jeremy Pease

Went to a conference here. Very nice and clean facility. Parking was free behind the center, but limited. There is alternative parking around. Inside there are multiple events...which I found to be nice. I wandered around...very cool.

julie burr

Great for large groups. Internet is not as strong in the lower levels. Nice place to have any event where you want natural movement And flow of people from one section to another.

Antoinette Lavern

Attended a convention. Staff was great. It was clean and well organized. The food was ok but there are tons of places to eat outside the convention center. One staff member was hardcore about no outside food as apparently this is a rule of the convention center.

Samantha Matthews

Staff is super friendly! I was looking for a class my company was doing and I got bad direction but I ended up here and they did everything they could to help me. Thank you for being understanding and considerate.

Francis Sprankle

AEA holds the "Castle Rally" every year!

Timothy Lawing

Great facility, easy access for vendors setting up - once you can get in. Recently went to deliver items, couldn't get in the loading dock door. Rang the door bell several times, no one answered the intercom/ buzzer, someone happen to come out another door and I went in that way. When I went in, there must have been 7-8 men standing aroundthe security office area. After standing there obviously needing done help, I had to interupt and ask them to unlock a larger door to get items inside. The man that did unlock the elephant doors was nice and helpful.

Dorothy Dillon

Easy to find. Within walking distance of multiple hotels and restreraunt. Was poorly heated in expo area. Class area ok. Staff were cleaning regularly. Trashcans were mounted too high for children and disabled

Alba Enaloza

Very comfortable and accessible place for any type of business meeting.

Kamil Cooper

It's a great place for this conference. Clean and nice sounds.

MasterLink2

...I don't know what it is about this place, but this building is awesome. Perfect for conventions such as Nashicon, Vahallacon, and Banzaicon. Or for any other event where you need huge rooms, but not massive ones. It's just an overall welcoming environment...except for the strict no outside food/drink policy.

Ebony Amara (Royal Saffire Queen)

Beautiful place to visit... Change Convention was a great experience.

Princess La-Shan

Visited the Women At Heart Health Event this last time. Also pleased with how clean and spacious it is. Lots that turned out for the even. The whole place and all the participants handled it like pros.

Gail Gamble

We were here for a school function. The building was amazing. The layout of the structure was well planned. The parking and restaurants were close by as well. Thank you hosting our school!

Brannon Spangenberg

This convention center is very large yet the acoustics of the main auditorium are great. You can hear speakers well even in the very back.

Chris Mele

Nice clean place

Keith Butler

Attended this year's Soda City Comic Con and had a great time. Beautiful venue. The city of Columbia out does itself yet again. Winning!

Ginger Sottile

Wish mgmt actually planned better with stocking cafe when hosting large conventions; sad to see security taking fresh fruit from people as 'outside' food for 8 hour meeting and discarding it in trash -- shame on them.

Kenya Tate

I went there for the food truck festival. It was nice and well organized. Masks were enforced.

Annette Abbott

I had an excellent time at Womens Night Out! I can't wait until next year. The Columbia Metropolitan Convention Center did an outstanding job!

I’m impressed! Was just at a conference there where the facility is well-maintained and beautifully decorated to remain serene yet exciting.

Accessibility can be improved and implemented better. But as far as a place to attend Pop culture/anime conventions, it's very good.

Ms Zee

Been there for both LEGOFEST 2018 and The 2018 Soda City ComiCon. Had a major blast at both! At ComiCon, I got to meet Sgt Slaughter of WWF and GI Joe fame. And also got to meet Billy West who did the voices of Stimpy, Doug, Philip J Fry from Futurama, and the Red M&M on the commercials. I plan to go to every one in the future...
