Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- Expansive, affordable, and blessed with lovely surroundings, it's easy to understand why this beloved community center is a local favorite. The building provides a beautifully neutral blank slate for your creativity: the white interior is amenable to virtually any kind of decorating, and the high, open-beamed ceiling—often draped for weddings—gives the space a lofty feeling.
- The main hall is large enough to accommodate the entire event, or you're welcome to spread out: an adjacent enclosed patio is a lovely setting for a ceremony, cocktail party, or for additional reception seating. State-of-the-art sound and lighting systems enable you to create whatever ambiance you like, with options in a variety of colors to create a particular mood or to highlight the ceiling or dance floor.
- The center's staff are very accommodating, going out of their way to help you create the event you want while staying within your budget. And access to the fully equipped professional kitchen—with the option of bringing in your own caterer—are real benefits for couples planning a casual wedding or rehearsal dinner.
