Event Testimonials

 

“High Dive is, without a doubt, the best place to throw a private event or show in Gainesville. The University of Florida Law School holds its  annual talent show at High Dive, and every year we are blown away about how much fun we have in such a cool and professional environment. There’s a reason we return year after year, and that is because year after year our event goes off without a hitch! “

– Michael Tamayo, Special Events Chair, University of Florida Association of Public Interest Law

“The High Dive was excellent!  We recently held a memorial concert for a dear friend and our crowd of approximately 100 enjoyed the entire 4 Hour event. They had the tables prepared for the food when we arrived and with the seating outside included there was plenty of room. The bartender was excellent and she knew just what to pour. The band was rockin’ original 80s metal and the sound was perfect thanks to the professional crew provided. Bathrooms were clean and parking was adequate for our crowd. It was apparent that everybody involved at the venue had experience and to top it off  they charged a very fair rate for the rental. 5 stars.”

Great venue, great people, great time. Highly recommend the High Dive for your next event or music concert.”
