  I had the wedding of my dreams at South Gate Center! The venue was beautiful and the view from the reception hall was stunning. The kindness and professionalism of the staff, especially the manager was exceptional.

  We rented South Gate Center for our April 2016 wedding venue and reception. It is a beautiful location and included tables and chairs being set up. It is right on a lake perfect for photos. And we enjoyed the indoor air conditioned facility to eat, drink, and dance comfortably rain or shine. We paid a $350 deposit and then made payments on the rest and got the deposit back afterwords since we cleaned everything up. It is beautiful, affordable and Dan was so helpful and experienced with ideas of how to set up the tables and what would look nice. Our wedding day was perfect and we would highly recommend this to anyone who wants a great venue but on a budget.

  This venue is absolutely amazing! I had my rehearsal dinner here and in the evening it was nice and cool out, the sunset on the creek was beautiful and the building with all the windows is spectacular. The person in charge was very down to earth and pleasant to deal with. We had plenty of control of how the tables and chairs were put and our names were even on the marquis out front. So cool to see that! I recommend this venue to everyone I can with upcoming weddings, birthdays or family get together's.

  Dan was great to work with. I wasn't sure on how to set the room as to where the tables should be along with the bar and DJ, he immediately got out a diagram of the room and started penciling in for me. He was very flexible as to the time I could come in a set up. My 60th birthday ended up being such a fantastic party and I am still getting comments from guest that it was the best party they had ever been to.

  Dan at Southgate was amazing to work with. He was very flexible and allowed us to do our wedding reception the way we wanted, "despite what our planner wanted". Thank you Dan and Southgate! I highly recommend you.

  South Gate Center was the perfect location for our ceremony. The large windows of the reception room looked out over a small creek. The trees along the creek provided a beautiful setting for our photos. Dan at South Gate Center was helpful and pleasant to work with. South Gate is a unique affordable location.

  Great staff to work with. Very flexible. They let us come in a day early to hang lights and store all the stuff for the night of our wedding so we did not have to bring it the day of. We requested freshly cleaned windows and floors and they did a great job. Would recommend to friends and family.

  Not a large venue, the South Gate Center provided a beautiful setting for our wedding with about 60 guests. It was the height of summer heat, but we were able to enjoy all the beautiful greenery outdoors in air conditioned comfort because two walls of the building are glass. We had the ceremony and the dinner reception in the same space and it worked out beautifully. Our caterer knew the location well and it has a large catering kitchen with two over-sized refrigerators. They also provide oblong tables and chairs. Highly recommend this venue.

  Southgate Community Center was just the location we were looking for when it came to finding a spot for our ceremony and reception. We wanted an outdoor venue that showcased the beauty of Florida that Sarasota has to offer, and with lush oak trees, azaleas, and a beautiful view of the creek, we certainly got that here. Our wedding was in the afternoon, so we also got to see some ospreys and other wildlife too. Dan was great to work with and very clear about rules and what was available at the venue. In all it was perfect for us!

  Our wedding turned out beautiful at this venue. We absolutely love the mid-century building, and the grounds are very pretty. Unfortunately, we received considerable pushback on several of the requests we made including cleaning the windows and curtains and removing wasps nests. We hung a floor to ceiling curtain to hide the dirty curtains. Despite saying that they would not clean the windows or remove the wasps nests, it looked like they did. Even with the issues we had with this venue, our other vendors made our wedding day incredible.
