On Friday and Saturday, clients must reserve the full building package. On Sunday through Thursday, we offer hourly rental options.

We require all hired vendors to provide the venue with a certificate of insurance naming the City of Winter Park as an additional insured. We also accept the option of a private rental providing an umbrella policy to cover the entire event and all vendors.

The Winter Park Events Center features distinguished detail you won’t find anywhere else. It is located in Winter Park, the City of Culture and Heritage.

The Winter Park Events Center offers a premier setting for business meetings, corporate functions, conventions, and conferences. Beyond corporate events, the venue is ideal for baby and bridal showers, milestone birthdays, and other special celebrations. Our flexible spaces, equipped with state-of-the-art projection screens, advanced AV technology, upscale furnishings, and serene views, can be tailored to suit any occasion.

For me (Joel, our Events Coordinator), it’s a full circle moment. Most of the time I’ve been in communication with our couples for close to, or over, a year. Planning, coordinating, site visits, phone calls, and lots of logistics. Having the event day finally arrive and run so smoothly, seeing everyone involved so elated, just shows that all of the communal efforts paid off. The time invested, the memories created, and the choice that couples have made to allow us to share in one of their most important days is priceless.

The City of Winter Park Library & Events Center is one campus, the Events Center operates in conjunction with the Winter Park Public Library. The space between both of the buildings, known as the Belvedere Breezeway, has allowed us to showcase beautiful ceremonies, unique displays, and true versatility. Because of its unique design features, the space itself creates a flowing breeze that adds dynamic to our events. One of our first weddings at the venue hosted their ceremony in the Breezeway. The weather that day was questionable, subject to change at a moment’s notice. Thankfully, the weather allowed us to successfully facilitate the ceremony and we thought we were in the clear. Post-ceremony, during family photos, the weather began to change rapidly. As our gorgeous bride was basking in the glory of her wedding day and making the most of the atmospheric change, her veil was blown completely out of her hair! A strong gust of wind had completely removed her bobby-pinned veil as she was graciously gallivanting in the wind. At one point, the veil made its way near the roof of the building, and we all thought it was lost forever. From one moment to the next, things changed, and the veil was free-flowing in the wind.You can imagine that during this time, most of the wedding party and attendees are sitting inside the facility watching all of this unfold. Joel, our heroic Events Coordinator, was nearby organizing the space for the reception and in a swift split-second decision, sprinted outside to catch the veil mid-air. All the on-lookers clapped and cried out with joy and laughter, the veil was returned to the bride, and she had a special memory that will last forever.

1. Do not stress what you cannot control (weather). 2. It’s your wedding—don’t worry about pleasing everyone else. Focus on what makes you and your partner truly happy, so you can enjoy your special day together the way you want to. 3. Invest in a wedding planner, it truly makes a world of difference!
