At
the Fremont Abbey Arts Center we offer a unique experience for your
special event. The Abbey is a 1914 brick church building that has just undergone major renovations throughout the entire building (reopened March, 2008) & is now used as a nonprofit community driven place for educational arts experiences.
It has a comfortable & warm atmosphere with fresh paint (colors by Serenity Interior Design), new "barnwood" like flooring upstairs and dark stained concrete floor downstairs. The building also has mostly new walls, mostly new lighting, and many other updates while
retaining the feel of a rustic historical building.
*The Abbey is fully accessible with exterior ramps to both the Great Hall & Cafe entrances. We also have brand new ADA bathrooms.
In
addition to you and your guests having a wonderful event experience, you will be supporting Youth Arts Education at the Abbey (music,
visual, literary) and ongoing cultural arts experiences for the public. Rental fees go towards staffing, building costs, and ongoing arts programs at the Abbey.
We offer a few different levels of rental packages & services especially designed for weddings, receptions, and parties. For non-profit community group rentals the rates are often able to be significantly reduced.
Our preferred caterers, such as Upper Crust, will work closely with you to create a beautiful culinary experience and can take care of linens, dishware, etc. as well as chairs and tables.
Pricing below is generally for weddings, receptions, and other non-arts related events. We offer discounts for non-profit organizations & neighborhood groups and can sometimes offer further discounts for educational arts related events. Please contact us with a description of your event.
