“I recently attended a Candlelight Orchestra event featuring the music of The Beatles and Queen, and it was honestly one of the most beautiful live music experiences I’ve ever had.”
From the reviews
We recently celebrated our wedding at the Brannon Center and it was everything we dreamed of! The Brannon Center staff was quick to respond to questions, professional and attentive. The venue was affordable, spacious and the view of the river makes for a beautiful backdrop!
The Listeso Quartet at the Brannon Center were phenomenal!! We were blown away by the reimagined versions of some songs, like the Twelve Days of Christmas. Absolutely fantastic how well they played, and communicated. The eye contact and smiles between them showed how much they enjoy playing and working together.
We rented the Center recently for a large corporate banquet. A HUGE thank you to Jonah and the pirate for helping make our event a success! Everyone in attendance loved the venue and surroundings. We recommend them highly for any event.
Beautiful center for a wedding! They have a beautiful deck in the back over the water, perfect for outdoor ceremonies. In case of rain, they have a room to the side of the main auditorium that works as a back up plan.
Getting married at Brannon Center
Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see the ceremony spot at the exact time of day you'd say your vows — a west-facing beach glows at sunset but bakes at noon, and you'll want to feel the wind, watch where the sun sits, and walk the path your guests take across the sand. Second, bring your real questions: the weather backup (where does the ceremony move if it rains or the wind kicks up?), who pulls the beach permit, the sound-ordinance curfew, the catering and bar policy, and exactly what's included — chairs, setup, and teardown on sand are where quotes quietly diverge. Peak beach dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
