How many guests does The Classic Center hold?

Published figures put The Classic Center at about 300 seated and 500 standing. Tell us your guest count when you check your date and we will size the sound and lighting to the room.

Can you cover the ceremony and reception in different spaces at The Classic Center?

Yes. The spaces at The Classic Center include Athena Ballroom, Atrium, and smaller rooms. Ceremony sound is its own setup, so we can run the ceremony in one space and the reception in another.

Can you cover the ceremony as well as the reception?

Yes. Ceremony sound is its own setup rather than a speaker borrowed from the reception rig, and a lapel mic is included for your officiant.

Do you bring a photo booth to The Classic Center?

Yes. One team handles the DJ, the photo booth and the uplighting on one contract, so there is one load-in and one point of contact instead of three vendors coordinating with each other.

The Classic Center wedding venue

The Classic Center is the downtown convention campus, with six rooms used for weddings. The Athena Ballroom is the largest at over 17,000 sq ft and divides into smaller rooms. The Atrium has an arched truss ceiling.

Big rooms are where cheap sound shows. We bring enough speaker to fill the ballroom evenly and set up so the dance floor is the center of the room, not the edge.
