If you’re planning a big function like a wedding celebration outside, you’ll worry about the possibility of rain.
And if you are planning during the summer months, it will be hot and humid. Everyone will be sweaty, and maybe even a little cranky because of, you know, the whole hot and sweaty thing. It sure doesn’t seem like the ideal setting for a wedding – or any celebration.
However, the beautifully appointed banquet room at the Manassas Park Community Center (MPCC) would be the ideal setting for your celebration. The banquet room at the MPCC offers the kind of versatility that makes it possible for you and for your guests to have a successful and memorable occasion.
And you won’t have to worry about the weather! Or the heat, or the humidity!
There are two wedding packages at the MPCC.
Deluxe Package
The first package, called the Deluxe Package includes the full banquet hall for 8 hours, with seating up to 200 guests, the catering kitchen, a pre-function area where guests can have a happy hour, a 12’ x 12’ dance floor for $2,373 for residents and $3,045 for non-residents. Childcare is available for $250 for 30 children.
“This includes a $500 fully refundable deposit for the full banquet hall or a $250 deposit for the half banquet hall,” said Amelia Powell, Customer Service Supervisor. “Our indoor spaces are on a first come, first serve basis, “she said, “Our only rule is that you need to have the event paid in full 30 days prior to the event date.” She added people can pay monthly, weekly, or pay in a lump sum.

Gold Package
The second package is called the Gold Package which includes half the banquet hall for 7 hours, seating for 115 guests, and the catering kitchen for $1,554 for residents and $2,036 for non-residents.
The catering kitchen is available for use with the Banquet hall facilities. The roomy 1,082 square foot kitchen includes a six burner gas range, convection ovens, warming ovens, ice machines, and lots of stainless steel tables for prepping the food. “There is also a loading dock outside the kitchen for loading and unloading. It really makes it easier to unload all the food items right into the kitchen,” added Ms. Powell.
“We have a Preferred Vendor List, so if there is a service you need, we can provide a contact for you,” Powell said. She pointed out that the facility also provides ample parking with a private entrance for you and your guests.
More intimate gatherings
Yes, the big events can be celebrated at the MPCC, but what about other occasions that also need celebrating—like a sweet sixteen party or the celebration of the end of a sports season?
The MPCC also has multi-purpose rooms which are 1,082 feet of air conditioned space and provides seating for 35 people. This is the perfect size for a more intimate gathering and also includes a shared kitchenette space.
Whether you’re having a large wedding or a small intimate affair, you can host it at the MPCC. Give Amelia Powell a call at 703-335-8872. She will be happy to help you plan that one-of-a-kind wedding at the MPCC.
The Manassas Park Community Center is located at 99 Adams Street in Manassas Park, VA.
