Hear From Others
“The U helped meet all of our organization needs. It was a pleasure to have a space that was both creative and professional. We were able to bring in an entire production team and have plenty of space for other production needs. The staff was extremely helpful and accommodating. I would highly recommend The U for any multimedia needs.”

“The U hosted my comedy show. We live streamed from the event space. They really took ownership and over delivered for each component of the show. The U team produced the live stream, hosted the space, handled vendors, created the run of show and handled ticket registration. I was so pleased with the communication throughout the planning and into the night of the event. I would highly recommend the whole team. The peace of mind I had knowing they were running the technical assistance and production allowed me to expand my teams capacity and focus on the content for the show.”
Antoine Williams
“If you are looking to host, livestream, or otherwise put on an event, I can't recommend The U enough!
The U and the people who own it are top notch. I've thrown many events and the big event I hosted at the U was by far the most flawless due to the space and the people.
First, the space is big and can accommodate a complex set up.
The space is big and multifaceted: we had hosts in one area and a stage in the other, plus interviews happening in yet another area. Much of their furniture is all custom built and can be rolled anywhere in the space, making it super customizable to our needs. The space is also all chic and clean looking and includes art, lights, and other nice touches.
The building is also very equipped with all of the the technology and other things we needed. Not only that, but the staff is very knowledgable and tech savvy. They have all the equipment we needed to broadcast a complex livestream set up with multiple stages, camera angles, etc.
Lastly, the people of the U made our experience as stress free as it could be. Ski, Lolo, Nakai are incredible, accommodating, and they truly support their community, customers, and everyone who aligns with their mission to the fullest.”
