Old Town Event Center

Old Town Event Center offers historic event spaces for organisers in Cornelius, North Carolina. Set in the former Gem Yarn Mill, the venue pairs exposed brick and natural light with adaptable rooms for weddings, receptions, banquets, birthdays, showers, meetings, workshops and community gatherings.

Organisers can book Grand Mill Hall, Brick Row Annex, or combine the spaces for a larger event. Grand Mill Hall has around 5,000 square feet of open space and can seat up to 200 guests. Brick Row Annex is a more intimate option, with seating for up to 60. Both rooms are available by the hour or for a full day, giving planners options for different event sizes and schedules.

The venue provides tables, chairs, cocktail tables and bar stools, with flexible layouts and guidance on arranging the room. Optional additions include lounge seating, a sound system, microphones, a mixer, a projector and screen, a smart television, table linens and décor enhancements. Outside catering is welcome, and beer and wine service can be arranged through licensed bartenders. The team can also discuss availability, pricing, tours and setup plans with organisers.

With its characterful mill setting and customisable spaces, Old Town Event Center is suited to planners seeking a venue for a formal reception, a family celebration or a smaller gathering. The connected rooms also make it possible to host different parts of an event in separate spaces, such as a ceremony followed by a reception.
