We had our wedding (both the ceremony and the reception) at the Drake Centre and could not be more happy with our venue! Our main point of contact for the 11 months of planning was Sara Sanders, who was absolutely amazing. She was very responsive to any and all emails (I got responses within 24 hours every single time) and was super helpful with logistics. She was always ready and willing to call and/or meet when we needed it. The Drake Centre is an incredibly affordable wedding venue, and the rental includes chairs, tables, setup, and a staff member for your event. It also includes things like microphones, podiums, a mobile bar, etc. when needed. Additionally, the staff will put up any wall decorations you bring. This was the perfect place to have a DIY wedding (they have recommended vendors, but you can use any vendor as long as you get said vendors liability insurance). It has a ton of available parking, accessible and clean bathrooms, and plenty of space to use for even a large wedding. I highly recommend using the Drake Centre for any event!
What I Like About The Drake Center Is They Allowed Me To Smoke Marlboro Lights Silver White Filter Cigarettes By Holding Them With My Right Hand In The Smoking Lounge During My Breaks While I Use To Be Working For 9 Hours On Mondays Wednesdays Thursdays And Fridays Before Working For 2-3 Hours On Mondays Wednesdays And Fridays Besides Driving A 2015 Cadillac Escalade ESV At 63 Also Eat At 5 Star Fancy Restaurants
The Drake Centre is a good place to rent for large public meetings or events (like fund-raising dances). It can hold probably 300-500 people (I did not check occupancy for fire safety) relatively comfortably. It has multiple doors. Parking is very accessible. However, it is not well marked outside, and can be confusing to find the first time, even with GPS, as it is part of a larger structure that houses other facilities, and they all look the same.
Great space for events. Staff work with you to make sure you have everything you need. Parking is plentiful.
