We have the venue, you'll have the memories.

Book your next event at the Gainesville Civic Center. Our Main Room is great for wedding receptions, conventions, birthday parties, reunions, quinceañeras, and much more.

If you are looking for a smaller, more intimate event, try one of our activity rooms. Our activity rooms are perfect for baby showers, meetings, and presentations.

                    

At the Civic Center, we want our customers to have a stress-free, fun-filled event!

Which means, we provide all of the table/chair setup and breakdown as well as trash cleanup afterwards. In addition to setup, each event will be staffed with an onsite building technician to assist with anything necessary.

The Main Room Rental includes: use of our newly remodeled kitchen complete with a 400 pound ice maker machine, 8 foot rectangular tables, metal folding chairs, adjustable lighting, surround sound system, microphones, and use of a 40 foot skirted stage.

Not sure about the table and chair arrangement? No problem. Check out our Ideas For Your Event page, or schedule a sit-down meeting with one of our staff members to personalize a layout that is perfect for you and your occasion. Go to our Contact Information page for more details.
