I considered using the Eastern Shore Art Center for my wedding reception. Pricing was reasonable and location was very artsy and unique. But, you would have to use several different rooms and you would have to rent tables and chairs. The kitchen was also a little small for the caterer. Because of this I decided to use the James P. Nix Center instead. This venue would be perfect for a small wedding or a very artsy and unique couple and styled reception.
We had a small, private ceremony in the "courtyard" hall of the art center with the reception in the main hall. The wonderful art work makes for amazing decor and brings life into the space. Nancy was so wonderful in helping us prepare for the wedding as well as coordinating events for the day of. I wouldn't have changed a thing about this wonderful location.
