The Kilburn Event Center was voted South Coast’s Number One Wedding Venue. Located in the historic Kilburn Mill, a textile mill built in 1903, The Event Center occupies the third floor with sweeping views of Clark’s Cove, Buzzard’s Bay and New Bedford’s historic South End Peninsula. Each or our rooms feature natural white pine flooring, twenty-foot ceilings and soaring windows in a space that is at once historical, rustic, elegant …a look we define as Industrial Chic.

The Dartmouth Room (capacity 220), an all-white space with windows overlooking Clark’s Cove, attaches to The Rooftop Deck ideal for outside ceremonies and cocktails, with an indoor Gallery that allows for an indoor/outdoor cocktail experience. This room can combine with the Gallery to seat up to 300 guests, with an adjoining cocktail in our Cove Room or The Rodney French Room.

The Cove Room serves as a weather plan for outdoor ceremonies, or can be used as a cocktail space, or for an intimate ‘micro wedding’.

Our Rodney French Room faces New Bedford’s Peninsula district, and attaches to The Rooftop Deck. Seating up to one-hundred fifty guests, it is great for a more rustic feel, with exposed brick walls and warmer-toned décor.
