One of my tasks as a wedding planner is to find new, different or previously unavailable wedding and reception venues. I am always on the search for places to add to my list of venues, so when I get a call about a new venue opening I’m always excited.
A few weeks ago, Lindsey called to invite me to tour the West End Community Development Center. For those of you who are long time Greenville residents you may know this as the Allen Temple Community Development Center. They have recently changed their name and opened up their facility to the public for rental for events.
The thing that got me really excited is the fact that the Allen Temple Church is also available for rent. For those of you trying to find a downtown church to rent for your wedding, you know how few and far between these facilities are.

The church and community center are located on Vardry Street, right in the heart of the historic West End of Greenville, SC. It is actually across the street from the Greenville Drive Baseball Stadium. The church itself is beautiful with curved wooden pews and gorgeous stained glass windows. It will seat at least 500 people. The center has approximately 50,000 square feet and is broken up into a gym area with stage and several smaller meeting areas and dining rooms. There is a full kitchen facility and you can bring in your own caterer or use the house caterer. Table and chairs are available for rental. It is a smoke and alcohol free facility.
