Old Towne Civic Center

Old Towne Civic Center is a historic event venue in Petersburg, Virginia, offering indoor and outdoor spaces for private celebrations and professional gatherings. Its characterful setting provides a flexible backdrop for weddings, receptions, quinceañeras, birthdays, anniversaries, reunions, proms, fundraisers and corporate functions. Organisers can plan an occasion that suits their guest list and style, from a formal seated celebration to a livelier gathering with space for dancing and entertainment.

The venue includes an outdoor courtyard that can be reserved alongside the indoor space. With its waterfall, lighting, outside bar and stage, the courtyard can accommodate receptions and other activities in the open air, and offers a setting for outdoor ceremonies. Inside, a stage and bar area support speeches, performances and evening celebrations. Tables and chairs are provided, and the venue works with organisers on a floor plan and furniture setup. The team handles breakdown and cleaning after the event, while guests' personal decorations and belongings can be collected by the hirer.

For food and drink, organisers may choose their own caterer or arrange their own provisions, subject to discussing event options with the venue. A separate prep kitchen includes cooking and washing facilities and a walk-in cooler, with ice available on site. These facilities make the space practical for events using external catering rather than a fixed in-house menu.

Located in Petersburg's Old Towne area, Old Towne Civic Center gives event planners a distinctive historic setting with options for indoor and courtyard use. It is suited to social occasions, wedding celebrations, community events and corporate gatherings, with venue features that can be adapted to the format of each booking.
