About

137 Events is a historic building in Downtown Exeter, California known for hosting exquisite wedding celebrations. Originally built in 1938, the venue was formally known as the Kaweah Movie Theater. It operated as a cinema for several decades before it was purchased by a family that still owns the property today. Tracy Jacobs and Cheryl Duran are the proud sister-owners of the establishment. These dedicated individuals have overseen extensive renovations and restorations, transforming the building into an enchanting locale for hosting events.

Best Wedding Venue in Tulare County ♥️

Getting married here was such a peaceful process and for that I have to give Tracy and Cheryl the biggest THANK YOU! ♥️ they have out done themselves with the 137 events venue space and all they provide for their services. I recommend anyone I know to check them out as I know they will not be disappointed. Other than the venue, I received very prompt responses to any questions I had inquired about. Which helped immensely when I had a million other details that I needed to attend too for my time frame. Even when I had to move my service from outside to inside, they helped me so much with the transition at such a short notice. Me and my husband felt very taken care of. I have nothing but beautiful memories from my day. ❤️ Lastly, the event space is modernized to where you can just go in and make it your own. That’s a great thing that 137 events offers. I love that it’s not outdated or a too busy looking venue. The bridal suite is perfection!! Just wonderful!! I’m forever grateful for such a memorable day! Thank you again Tracy and Cheryl at 137 Events. ♥️

An amazing venue for a very special memorable day

Me and my husband got married 11/09/23 at 137 Events, it was the most dreamiest wedding and we absolutely loved the place itself. We loved how helpful Cheryl was throughout the process and was always a text or call away answering any questions we had. Another big part on why we loved 137 Events was that it was in our price range that no other venue had. Would definitely book at 137 Events for another event/party!!

Gorgeous Venue & Great Pricing!!

137 Events is a dream wedding venue! Cheryl, the owner, was excellent in pre-event communication. She walked us through the entire process from start to finish. She even did little things to make sure everything looked and was perfect. The affordability is unbeatable, including tables, chairs, and linens. Cheryl's local vendor recommendations were spot-on. 137 Events has everything you need and is the ideal choice for a beautiful, inside and/or outside wedding!
