Raven Band Great - crowd DUD
Talking Stick Resort - Scottsdale
I was at Raven's Gala in 2012 and 2013. By far, 2012 was much better: better band and better crowd. This year, I swear they let people out of the nursing home so that they could attend this event. It was so disappointing! I won't ever go to this event again.

SMASHT was great
Talking Stick Resort - Scottsdale
We had a great time....band was great, food was very good....HOWEVER We thought we had reserved general admission SEATS as per tickets themselves showing row number and seat number...when we arrived, we were told that was something that ticketmaster did but that we had NO seats as per our tickets...please do not tell people that they have specific seats if that is not true....thank you!!!!!

Ravens New Years Gala
Talking Stick Resort - Scottsdale
What a blast! Not too crowded and a nice mix of ages. Great appetizers and drink prices were reasonable. The band was great and we danced the entire night! It was nice that you could leave for a bit to go to the casino if u wanted to. We will definitely do this again!!

service was terrible
Talking Stick Resort - Scottsdale
at any given time there were 30 guests waiting to get a drink at the bar and only 2 bartenders. there was no wait staff at all. had to wait 30 mins for a drink. ordered a margarita which sucked and costs $8!! never going to talking stick again....total waste of $100!

Always a crowd pleaser!

This is the 2nd Raven New Year Event we have attended. Raven is a sweet, personable lady and throws a great bash. Great setting, great band, fast drinks, great time! Even a buffet. What more could you ask for? Thanks Raven.

too crowded
Talking Stick Resort - Scottsdale
This was like being at a normal bar on New Year's Eve. Not what I expected. When I purchased the tickets it said that I had a seat. When I arrived at the door, I was told it was standing room only and that if we wanted a table to sit at, it was going to cost $600. The band was pretty good.......but unfortunately it was so crowded you could barely get to the dance floor. Also, getting a drink at the bar was a joke. They only staffed 2 bartenders for a packed night. It took 30-45 minutes to get served. Of course the bartenders were then be harassed (felt bad for them) but they in turn became very rude to the rest of the customers. I love the Talking Stick.....but I would NOT recommend this event.

Great event!
Talking Stick Resort - Scottsdale
The band was amazing and played music you could dance to all night. It was difficult to find the appetizers and there wasn't any place to sit because it was so crowded. However, it was a thoughtfully planned event, good crowd and top entertainment!
