Best day ever

LOVED my wedding at the art center. Everything was beautiful, perfect, and exactly as I imagined. We were able to keep the artwork up as we wanted and it really made the space our own. The staff was amazing and everyone loved it.

Gorgeous venue in a gorgeous area!

We rented the arts center for our November 2022 wedding and we couldn’t have been happier! From the initial tour with Stasi to the planning and night of with Rebekka, everything turned out so beautifully. This venue has EVERYTHING! we had the reception on the front steps, cocktail hour on the rooftop and reception in the gallery. The rental even included shutting down the street! We are so thankful to the entire team as Hurricane Ian impacted so many venues in the area, we were still able to have our big day just a month after the storm. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
