Centennial Park Wedding and Gala Bookings

The Centennial Center is an excellent venue to host a wedding ceremony, reception, dinner or business Gala. The Event Hall offers a bright and airy industrial space for a wide range of programs and gatherings. Oversized windows along the south wall and ceiling let natural light into the 5,000 square-foot space featuring tall ceilings, exposed steel beams, wood pillars and polished concrete floors.

The Center is equipped with modern audio-visual equipment and built-in colored accent lighting to customize every event, offers two private dressing rooms and a catering kitchen.

Attached to the south side of the building is a stage and amphitheatre, which can double as a ceremony space or an outdoor patio. Additionally, several play structures in the park provide additional entertainment for young event guests and the park’s great lawn and pond offer a lovely photo backdrop.

The Event Hall inside Centennial Center can accommodate:

  • When it is time to tear down, the Renter only needs to take the items they brought in. City staff will tear down tables and chairs.
  • Due to the Event Hall and Amphitheatre being connected, they will not be rented to two separate customers with coinciding events. This may mean somewhat limited indoor Event Hall rentals from May to September when the stage is available.
