Saying ‘I Do’ at the Florence Events Center
D
ozens of people select
the Florence Events
Center for their weddings
and receptions each year.
Some of these are small, in-
timate gatherings and others
are grand aff airs. Whatever
format you choose, our staff
knows how to make your
special day a unique cel-
ebration designed especially
for you.
Our goal is to create a serene
atmosphere so that you can relax
and enjoy the festivities without
the stress that sometimes occurs
at these events. We’re here to
help with everything from fl ow-
ers and food to music for dancing.
We have more than 8,000 square feet of event space,
and we can confi gure it any way you like. Choose round,
banquet or bistro tables, with linens in colors to match
your theme. We have dance fl oors and stages in a variety
of sizes, and lighting to create special eff ects.
Our audio and visual equipment is available for any
special presentations you have in mind, including for
off site rentals.
Perhaps you’re dreaming of a beach wedding to take
advantage of our special brand of coastal beauty, or
perhaps you’ve already selected a private residence or
other venue. All of our equipment is available for off -site
rental to accommodate your needs.
Th e Florence Events Center provides quality, creative
space and a staff committed to fi rst-class service. We will
work with your ideas and budget to create a memorable
celebration for your “I Do” day.
Start with a tour of our facility, 715 Quince St., so
we can discuss your plans in person. Call the Florence
Events Center at 541-997-1994 for an appointment.
