    There is a city parking lot that can be entered from the Canton St. entrance or from the back of our building. Parking in this lot is $2 (weekdays) and $5 (Saturday/Sunday) per car.

Worked with Lisa to have my fraternity’s formal here for two years in a row. We’ve used the 3rd floor penthouse as well as the rooftop, and both were great! She is super responsive in communication and everything is customized exactly how you want it. I would highly recommend using them for your event if you want it to be quick, easy, and stress free on your end. Price is pretty reasonable for a good view of the downtown area and being on a rooftop especially.

We had our corporate Holiday Party at 2616 Commerce Event Center and everything was perfect! The staff was so helpful and easy to work with. They were available the entire night for spur of the moment lighting changes and really anything we needed. No request was too big or small. I can't say enough about all they did to help our night be a huge success. I whole-heartedly recommend 2616 Commerce Event Center for your special event!

We used this event center for a themed charity event in April 2024. Lisa and her staff were fantastic to work with and very accommodating. For example: There were threats of rain and we had a band playing outside on the patio. We decided the event must go on. 2 hours into the event and it began to rain. The band took their equipment to safety inside for protection. Next thing I knew without even asking, Lisa and her crew put up a tent for them to play under and our band was playing again. In addition, we had a few last minute request for extra tables. It was no problem and quickly handled. It is this type of service that has us booking this event center again. We are looking forward to working with Lisa and her crew again next year in 2025.
