When you make a room reservation with us, you also support the community. It’s a win-win.
We had the most wonderful experience with our wedding at the Goodman Community Center. The venue itself is stunning — a perfect blend of industrial charm and exposed brick, with gorgeous tall windows that filled the space with natural light. From start to finish, communication was excellent and everything felt organized and seamless.
David, our coordinator whose services were included in the cost of renting the space, was fantastic to work with and made the planning process stress-free. On the day of our ceremony and reception, he went above and beyond and was incredibly attentive, proactive, and made sure everything flowed smoothly so we could simply enjoy the moment.
The catering, provided through the Center’s TeenWorks program, was another highlight. Not only was the food delicious and made in-house, but knowing the program helps teenagers gain valuable life and job skills made it feel even more meaningful to us and our guests.
We’re so grateful to Goodman Community Center and their amazing team for helping make our day so special. Highly recommend!
