The Community Center is now taking reservations for the 2026 & 2027 seasons. Making plans for that special day? Our charming country church and historic rural school grounds might be just the spot you have in mind. We provide an all-inclusive venue to simplify your event planning. Our venue includes both indoor and outdoor facilities, giving you the flexibility and security to host your event year-round, rain or shine. Use of the on-site chapel, outdoor covered party pavilion, school building with a full kitchen, dining rooms, mens and ladies restrooms, 40+ tables and 150+ chairs, on our 2.5 acre forested property are all included in the $1,400 event rental. You have complete control of your event layout, schedule, and flow. The lovely country chapel may be used for intimate ceremonies, or the picturesque open air pavilion and forested grounds are perfect for larger ceremonies and receptions. Our historic Stark Schoolhouse, a National Register landmark, offers a unique and versatile space for indoor ceremonies, receptions and gatherings. Amenities include indoor and outdoor ceremony areas, covered outdoors party space, flexible indoor event spaces, dressing areas, restrooms, reception areas, and free parking. The Nine Mile Community Center is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization run by local volunteers with a mission to honor the rural heritage of our area, promote community engagement, and provide for a sustainable future. Rental income helps fund our mission. Typical wedding rental costs for the entire community center property are just $1,400 for your event weekend, plus a $1,000 refundable security deposit. We essentially block out the entire weekend for your event. Your rental fee covers a 48-hour access window, allowing stress-free setup and cleanup: from noon the day before your event until noon the day after your event. The Community Center is an equal opportunity service provider and welcomes all types of people and events. We host birthday or anniversary parties, family reunions, as well as weddings and receptions, corporate seminars, school outings, and memorial gatherings.
