The Thomas Center is located in the Duck Pond area of Gainesville, a historic part of town with tons of charm. The Thomas Center has a rich history, evidenced by the restored rooms that are available for rent. The picturesque grounds also provide ample space for both ceremony and reception if so desired. The indoor spaces include the gorgeous Spanish Court and the adjoining Long Gallery. The outdoor spaces include Turtle Court, the West Gardens (which includes a large fountain), and the West Veranda. The property also has a commercial kitchen that can be used by your caterer, or if you want to DIY the food.

As this is owned by the City of Gainesville, rates are generally more affordable in comparison with some other venues.
