We had our wedding and reception here. It was great and way more affordable than other venues in the area. Highly recommend to anyone needing a wedding venue!

Terry and Jen went above and beyond to make sure that everything ran great and smoothly. I would highly recommend this place. We will most definitely use them again in the future!

We have held two graduation parties at the pressroom. With the tables, chairs, linens, and full kitchen available, this is an incredibly easy and useful space!

The Press Room was the perfect venue for our wedding. The space is unique and was comfortable for our 60 guests. All the details were handled by the staff from the decor to the drink menu. Jen was accommodating and made sure we were comfortable and had what we needed. I highly recommend this venue for any event.
Graduation Party

The Press Room Event Center was by far the best place for our son’s graduation party. The price was great! They were easy to work with and set things up (I sent a layout a week before and they set it up how I wanted it) and they cleaned up for us so that was one less thing I had to worry about. It has air conditioning, but we didn’t need to use it. It is a nice venue with extra rooms for brides and grooms if doing a wedding. There are bathrooms, a full kitchen, and ice machine. We loved the nostalgic atmosphere as well with the brick walls and wooden floor. Many guests commented at the party how nice the venue was. I give it 5/5 stars!! Will definitely be back when we need a venue for another party!! Thank you Press Room for making my son’s graduation party great!!!

The venue is the perfect location. We had a small wedding and it turned out beautifully. The owners are so amazing to work with and helped us with everything we needed without hesitation. Can’t say enough about how wonderful they were.
Highly recommend booking an event with them!

The Press Room is a beautiful revamped building that is absolutely the perfect place to host a special occasion! My mom’s surprise birthday party was perfect! Jenny and Terry were great to work with and Jenny also helped me decorate for the special day. Check it out you will not be disappointed!

The was the perfect soace for a gathering! The kitchen was perfect. The tables were all set up, I just needed to decorate them! When we arrived the owner was already there adjusting the temperature for us as it was a very muggy day! Everything I had forgotten was there! And cleanup was a breeze with the layout of the reception hall. I will definately be booking again for gatherings!
