Is the upper Lobby included with a Lobby rental?

Can I use an outside Caterer?
Yes. Outside catering is always welcome. We have compiled a list base on review and recommendation from prior clients. Please click here to see the list.
Can i bring my own alcohol and bartenders?
The Copernicus Center has a single user liquor license. Therefore, we must provide bar services. Note: Our bar staff will add excellent service to your event.
Where do my private party guest park?
This will depend on what hall your event is booked in as well as the other events potentially held at the Center during the same time.
Before booking you will be informed whether there will be parking restrictions on the day of your choice. With multiple lots at our disposal, we will be sure to designate a spot which is the best logistical solution for your guests.
Can you recommend a Wedding Planner?
As we did with Caterers, the Copernicus Center is currently seeking reviews and recommendations from former clients. Once compiled, we will post the page on the venue rental tab and include a link here. If you ARE a former client and would like to recommend a wedding planner, please send an email to [email protected] .
I’m interested in renting, where do I start?
Please submit a venue rental request with our request form. The submission is received by our office and a customize quote is prepared. Once your individualized quote is completed, it will be sent to you along with additional helpful information and details.
Next, you then have the option to place a “courtesy hold” or confirm the booking (deposit required).
There is no price to place a courtesy hold. Often dates will have multiple holds. Should you choose to proceed with your event, the other holds prior to yours will receive a courtesy 24-48-hour warning during which they can either place the deposit to book the date or relinquish it to the next person. Please note that this is a courtesy and not binding.
