This impressive venue is nestled in the serenity of the beautifully landscaped Clark Park. Walls of windows provide a panoramic park view, while glass double doors lead to a balcony that extends the building’s width, bringing the outdoors in and the indoors out. The 6,000 sq. foot ballroom has a 30-foot peaked wood ceiling and a huge stone fireplace, which provides a rustic ambience. The posh carpet and contemporary chandeliers bring just the right touch of elegance. Nowhere in the Southern Crescent is style and charm so seamlessly mixed.

At MMCC, you will find an attentive staff dedicated to making your desires reality. They will assist you with ideas and a preferred list of vendors to make your event unique to your personality. A variety of setup options ensure that your event will flow effortlessly, including the option of a wood parquet dance floor for you and your guests to dance the night away. A private bride’s room and ample parking are frosting on the cake.

A wedding, reception or a bridal shower—they all require atmosphere and attention—and you will find a rich supply of that at the Merle Manders Conference Center.

Any other ways to make my event planning easier?

Whether you recently got engaged or you are planning a different type of event, there are a few tips that will help you navigate through the numerous people you now have to meet with:

#1- Make an appointment: Vendors want to give you the time and attention that you deserve. Because they meet with other clients or have other events during the day, it is important that you call ahead and schedule time to meet with them and/or view the facility. This will ensure that they will be ready to assist you with questions and concerns.
#2- Bring as much information about your event as possible. It is easier for vendors to give you proper information if they know dates, times, number of guests, color scheme, etc. If you have ideas or pictures, bring those as well.
#3- Ask their advice and opinion. Because all of these folks are experts in their field, they can help tell you what has worked and what hasn't. Most of them have seen or heard it all...so they can respect your dreams and desires while also giving you the facts, saving you time and money.

Setting up your event space

The atmosphere you create has a lot to do with the way that your event space is arranged. If it is too crowded, people will be grumpy, hot and uncomfortable; if it is too open, then people will feel self conscious and that the event will not seem successful. It is best to find the happy medium when setting up your event space.
Remember that the more items you need to have in the room, the more reduced capacity for seating you will have. Do not expect a room that holds 200 people to also hold 200 people with 4 bars, a dance floor, 3 food stations, etc. You get the picture.
Consult with your venue to find out what has worked best for similar events. They will ensure your guest’s safety, while also making sure your event atmosphere works!
