“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Attended the CenterWell AEP Kickoff Event at Myron’s inside The Smith Center, and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish! The venue is absolutely stunning, elegant, and provided a beautiful setting for the morning presentation and performances. The stage setup, sound, and lighting were top-notch, and the staff provided warm, attentive service throughout the morning. Having easy, convenient parking made arriving hassle-free. It was a wond…”

Everyone that I came in contact with was very nice. From the ticket agents to the ushers to the…”
