The space is very accommodating in all the most important attributes. Staff is ease to work with and very understanding of issues, front of house areas are always clean and well kept, back of house is very close to the event areas so staff does not need to walk super far for things like passed apps. The only negatives I have are the load in space and back of house space could be a bit better for large events. A dedicated catering kitchen would be awesome but I understand that doesn't work at every venue. There have been tables and or coffee shop supplies in the back of house area the last few times causing staff to have to work around these items.

My fiancé and I were struggling to find a venue for our winter wedding. Our styes were totally different and we had toured many different types of venues without any luck. One day while visiting the Schiele as we often do, we noticed they were setting up for a party and that was it! It was easy and affordable to set up having our ceremony and reception at the Schiele. We opted to have the planetarium open during our reception and someone was in there the whole time to answer questions, point out different constellations, etc. Our guests loved having the entire museum to explore throughout the night and they had the added bonus of the sock skating rink being open! We had a wonderful time and many of our guests told us later it was the most unique and fun venue they had been to for a wedding.

 The Tom s. Gettys Center (formerly, Gettys Art Center), managed by the Arts Council of York County, is located in the Downtown Rock Hill Cultural District. It is a true arts destination for York county as it is home to offices of the Arts Council of York County, the Rock Hill Pottery Center, Art on Main, Concerts at the Courtroom, Hill City Church, and artist studios. Concerts are often held in the renovated historic courtroom on the second floor at the Gettys. It’s the perfect place to host receptions or other special occasions
