Anderson Junior High School was originally constructed in the 1930s, with many of the front rooms still featuring wood paneling and floors. Cinder-block and tile rooms were added in the 1980s, growing the building's footprint to nearly 33,000 square feet. This building still served as a school until it was closed in 2014 due to budget cuts in the district. Now known as The Anderson Center, this property hosts weddings and other special events, with both indoor and outdoor spaces. The garden can accommodate up to 250 seated guests for an outdoor ceremony in spring, summer, fall, or even winter (with jackets), with an arch ready for adornment. Booking this event space also comes with a complimentary indoor backup plan. Inside, the vintage-style ballroom can host up to 250 guests, while the library can seat up to 100 people. Get-ready rooms, wheelchair access, and WiFi make these premies even more convenient on your big day. You can easily book The Anderson Center for your wedding with three straightforward packages. You can book up to two days of venue use, a library or outdoor ceremony, a ballroom reception, and use of the get-ready rooms. The owners will happily consult with you as to how they can help meet your needs for your special day.
