History
The Century was built in 1912 as a theater by William R. Mensinger. It was dedicated in 1913 by Gilbert & Sullivan’s “Pirates of Penzance.” Unfortunately, a fire ruined it later that year, but it was rebuilt and rededicated in 1914. It lasted until 1934 when it was eventually turned into retail shops. It’s been the magnificent wedding venue it is today since 2014.

Dream wedding came true!!!

Just got married at the century and let me tell you this venue is sooooo beautiful. 10 + stars. The service and team at the century are hands down the best even the food and bar drinks. I did not have to worry about a thing. My guests could not stop talking about this venue they wish my wedding didn’t end.So much fun! My coordinator Allison was incredible. She made the whole wedding planning an ease. Not only was Allison my coordinator but a high school friend. She made my vision come to life on my wedding day. Can’t thank Allison and the century team enough. You will not regret having your wedding at the century. Look no further and book the century. Will definitely be doing more events at the century in the future.

It was quite the pleasure working with Tatiana and The Century staff. From our initial meeting at the Ceremony rehearsal Tatiana was wonderful.
She was very flexible, helpful and open to ideas. She's definitely an asset! We're looking forward to visiting the beautiful venue and working with Tatiana and staff in the near future. Marquis Entertainment

Wonderful Wedding Experience

I cannot emphasize enough that if you're even slightly considering booking an event here, take this as your definitive sign to go for it. We had the incredible fortune of celebrating our wedding here in October, and the entire experience was nothing short of extraordinary. Our wedding planner, Erica Ford, was an absolute gem. Working with her felt more like planning with a close friend who had our best interests at heart rather than a mere acquaintance. Her meticulous attention to detail and wealth of knowledge made the entire wedding planning process effortless. On the day of our wedding, Erica was a beacon of organization, ensuring everything flowed seamlessly. When they promise to have everything covered so you can simply arrive and enjoy, they truly mean it. From the moment we stepped into the venue until the final minutes of our celebration, our wedding day was an absolute delight. I can't sing enough praises for Erica and her exceptional dedication!

Now, let me turn your attention to the culinary genius, Chef Root. Our tasting session was an absolute highlight (highly recommended!), and from that moment, we were captivated by our wedding menu. Our guests are still raving about the food! I was adamant about steering clear of typical banquet fare, and Chef Root masterfully crafted a personalized culinary experience for us. He made our event feel uniquely special, even bringing to life a dessert my husband had long dreamed of having at our wedding. His commitment and talent were truly an honor to experience.

I must also highlight the incredible work of Leticia, the talented florist who curated the most stunning flowers for our special day. She's an absolute artist. Not only did she bring my vision to life, but she also transformed a collection of brooches I'd been gathering for years into a breathtaking bouquet. Her attention to detail, including the thoughtful incorporation of my late father, was incredibly touching. Leticia's dedication to making our day unforgettable was remarkable.

Every individual we had the pleasure of working with at The Century and Nine3One was exceptional. I genuinely can't speak highly enough of our experience. I loved it so much that if I could, I'd relive it all over again. Without a doubt, any future events in my life will be hosted here. I've been enthusiastically recommending The Century and Nine3One to everyone I know. Trust me, booking your event here will be a decision you won't regret.

The planning process even through Covid was straight forward and Allison made it a breeze. So easy that I often thought am I doing everything I need to be?? Lol. The day of our wedding went beautifully. Not one single problem that I was ever made aware of and everything lived if not exceeded my expectations. Allison totally rocked it the day of and kept everyone on track. She's a rockstar!"
