This past summer the City Center had a facelift:
- New carpet was installed, and the interior repainted in neutral tones balancing coastal blues and grays that lend themselves to an organic and breezy coastal atmosphere.
- The color palette helps in part to leave an adaptable “canvas” for festivities that require décor and themes without interruption.
- Imagine exiting the sunset light-filled ballroom to the veranda through the open 10’ tall French wooden doors. The garden before you has been upgraded to enhance wedding ceremonies and the patio was expanded for outdoor celebrations.
As a sustainable building, we are dedicated to reducing environmental impacts through energy and resource efficiencies. The Richmond Hill City Center offers 26,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor event space, including 10 meeting rooms and a ballroom that seats 400 guests.
We have the team and the space to make any event shine. Click here to learn more about renting the City Center for your next event, whether it’s a 10-person board meeting or a 400-guest fundraiser. Southern hospitality is in our DNA.
