Do not use the Mulberry Party Center, err, sorry, "Mulberry Art Studios" for any event. Here's why...

April Koppenhaver has run this place as a party venue for years and years. She puts as little money into it as she can and charges all the traffic will bear. Your money will be better spent at a place that has things like, real parking, a real, licensed bar (we'll get into in a moment) and can clean their building.

The Lancaster Bureau of Police are regular guests at April unlicensed party palace. She doesn't have or suggest security so when her events are over attended, be they dance parties or drunken weddings, the guests spill onto the street and trouble ensues. She'll lie, it's what April does and say this never happens. But your event is likely the next one the Police will be called in on.

The problems are many and the real crux of the issue is, April's business is something called "Mulberry Real Estate". She' bought these buildings years ago, on the cheap and has slapped paint, in some cases on them and is not renting them as though they are new, updated venues for parties, dances, drunken festivals, concerts, you name it. I know, I lived not fifty feet from April and her antics for thirteen years.

Some of the spaces are visually nice but overall, the building isn't and the way they'll run your event leaves you open to liability and all kinds of troubles.

Since "Mulberry Arts Studio" isn't a bar or a restaurant April can skirt the laws and tell you can bring in whatever you want to eat or drink. But it also means that there are no standards or cleanliness or regulations on the booze to make sure the party stays in control. Your guests will on not thank you when they get food poisoning because of Mulberry Arts Studios lack of standards.

In the end, there are lots of great venues downtown. Avoid the problem you will encounter with April, her oftentimes wacky staff and her crumbling collection of buildings. Rent another venue and you will be much happier. And in not dealing with April, you'll find that promises will be kept and you'll be told the truth and not April's constant stream of BS.

Avoid Mulberry Art Studios. You'll be glad you did.

I have to say April and her staff, especially James are the best. They did a fantastic job in organizing my Birthday party there last December, and they did it all within 5 weeks, unbelievable.  The place was beautifully decorated, and she has the most fabulous table linen collection I've ever seen. She did everything that was asked of her and then some.  The party was enjoyed by all that attended, and i would definitely call on her again.
Thanks April...

April will sell you false hopes and dreams. She won't deliver half of her promise. Make sure you check the refrigerator before putting anything in it, it was absolutely disgusting. There were mice running around and the man that cleans up is rude to anyone who walks through the front door. The other employees fear him. He's racist, judgmental and hates gay people and will have no problem stating so. Wish I would've known the disappointment I was going to have by booking here. Be careful and MAKE SURE everything is in writing. April will always find a way to cover her own ass FIRST.

The Spanish man that cleans is crazy. Be careful. He lives in the basement of the center. He's racist, and goes around talking about how he hates gay people..Just plain rude. Even with complaints from customers, other employees and her own husband, the owner, April doesn't get rid of him. Even when paying customers and paying artists request him not to be there (because he makes everyone uncomfortable) the OWNER disregards your request. Be careful.
