St. Cecilia’s Event Center

St. Cecilia’s was built in 1870. Fashioned in the Swiss Gothic style,the serpentine stone edifice contains buttresses, narrow pointed arch apertures, a large, central rose window and beautiful balconies. This venue has been recently renovated with our clients in mind. The design was done with a pleasing neutral palette of grays to allow our clients flexibility to decorate with any color or style they choose. The lower hall of St. Cecilia’s is being designed as an eclectic multi use space. Corporate meetings, community events, showers, lifetime events or a reception, ceremony or cocktail hour can be hosted here.

    My husband and I could not have been happier with The Arches for our beautiful wedding day. Jane and Larry (the venue owners) were always ready to answer questions, ready to lend helpful suggestions, and the nicest and easiest people to work with. On top of that, The Arches was the most affordable and breathtaking venue we looked at. Everyone complimented us on how beautiful our venue was. There is nowhere else we would have wanted to start our forever. Thank you to The Arches for everything!

    We loved working with Jane. She is very personable as well as incredibly knowledgeable. The venue is incredible, it truly has been crafted with the couple in mind. There were so many Pinterest worthy moments. We saw Midway Arches almost a full 2 years before we had our ceremony and we could not get it out of our heads. We could not have asked for a better venue.
