Appomattox Event Center

Appomattox Event Center is a historic venue in Old Towne Petersburg, Virginia, offering spaces for weddings, private celebrations and corporate events. Its restored setting combines period character with contemporary event facilities, giving organisers a choice of rooms for both larger gatherings and more intimate occasions.

The main ballroom covers more than 3,000 square feet and can host up to 250 guests. A smaller ancillary ballroom accommodates up to 40, while the covered patio offers an outdoor option with seating for up to 30. There is also a bridal suite for wedding parties and a commercial kitchen available to support event catering. Organisers can arrange ceremonies and receptions indoors or outdoors, subject to their chosen package and event plans.

Wedding packages include venue access, tables and chairs, linens, setup and breakdown of venue-provided items, and day-of coordination. Depending on the package, couples can also arrange design and décor, flowers, a DJ, a cake and photography. For private and corporate bookings, the venue offers rental options with an event attendant, vendor coordination, audiovisual equipment and lighting. Décor items can be rented separately, and organisers may be able to use their own licensed and insured caterer.

The team works with clients on event logistics and planning, with pricing and arrangements tailored to the event type and selected services. With ballroom, patio and wedding-preparation facilities at one location, the centre can suit ceremonies, receptions, rehearsal dinners, showers, birthdays, reunions and business gatherings.
