    We celebrated a wedding and 55th vow renewal with a host of family and friends at the Encinitas Community Center. This was a great space that had everything - a huge hall, full kitchen, and auxiliary rooms. From the tour to the digital layout to depict our desired set up, to helping with the set up and rehearsal, to assisting with connections on the day of the event, the staff was amazing. The coordinator, Carolina Chavez, made this experience so effortless. She was accommodating, personable, helpful, and knowledgeable throughout the entire process.

    My husband and I had a wonderful time at the Mingle and Create event recently, making mini pumpkins displays using succulents, leaves and glue guns! The center supplied everything - pumpkins, and array of succulents, decorative items, working tables and glue guns - and even had treats and drinks. We had a great time chatting with others, admiring the other creations and getting more ideas for future creative work. Kudos to the staff who decorated the space and hosted us so generously!

    The Community Center as an event venue is a good choice. The upgrades they have made such as the flooring in the banquet room paired with the excellent and diligent staff, makes the Community Center a great option for an event space.
