Weddings
Our Special Wedding Rate includes…
The Upstairs Assembly Hall and Groom’s Room, and the downstairs Bridal Room. Booking for the big day is for up to five hours, plus up to one hour the day prior for rehearsal. Please note that due to the historical nature of the building we can allow only minimal decorating, and that the use of Downstairs Carlson Hall (except for entering/exiting the building, and accessing the Bridal Room and bathroom) and Kitchen are not included in our Special Wedding Rate.
Sunday Weddings (they happen!)
Though a group rents the Center every Sunday, inquire if you would like to be married on a Sunday. We’ll surely be able to work something out!
Do you have questions? Need a little more time? More space? Let us know in your inquiry and we can work together to provide for your special day.
