Our campus is home to a variety of unique venues ideal for hosting special events, galas, weddings, corporate meetings and more. Whether you choose to gather on stage, in our Grand Ballroom in our Museum, or under the stars, the Center provides a location and ambiance like no other.

Our flexible event spaces can accommodate parties with 20 to 1,200 attendees. On-site catering services and professional event planners make planning your special event a breeze, and our central location in the heart of San Diego North County makes us easy to find and convenient for all your guests. 

Conference Center

We offer a 9,000-square-foot Grand Ballroom that can be divided to meet your event's unique needs, as well as a 4,000-square-foot pre-function foyer, the ideal space for large conventions, fundraisers, trade shows or cocktail hours. The Conference Center also has smaller meeting rooms that are the perfect size for more intimate gatherings and break out space.

Galas and Fundraisers

Spice up your organization's gala or fundraiser at the Center! Our out-of-the-box venue options will breathe the life back into your party. You can go the somewhat traditional route and host your event in our beautiful ballroom, or, if you really want to get tongues wagging, put the party on stage. Center Theater or Concert Hall, you choose. Then it's lights down, curtain up! Your event is sure to get rave reviews at the Center.

Corporate Gatherings

As a major regional arts center, our campus offers a unique blend of function and flair that you simply can't find at a typical hotel or conference center. Imagine making a keynote address in a state-of-the-art, 1,500-seat concert hall that has played host to world-famous performers. Our grand 9,000-square-foot ballroom is surrounded by sun-drenched courtyards and green spaces, and is just a short walk to historic Downtown Escondido. Our facilities are ideal for companies and organizations hosting a meeting, conference, trade show, lecture, large training session, videoconference, major company announcement or client entertainment event. With a diverse selection of venues, as well as complete dining and banquet services, plus full audio visual capabilities, anything is possible at the Center.

Weddings

The Center provides the perfect backdrop to create a unique and memorable wedding. Our dramatic architecture, peaceful ambiance and artistic spaces offer couples a one-of-a-kind canvas upon which they can paint a romantic, inspired and personalized day. The multifaceted nature of our campus allows us to deliver on any bride's vision - whether she longs to get married on stage with theatrical flair, outdoors with grass beneath her feet and sunshine overhead, with classic elegance in a well-appointed ballroom, or in the chic setting of a contemporary art museum. We host dozens of weddings each year and can accommodate anywhere from 50 to 600 guests. But no matter how big or how small, one thing is certain: at the Center, we put your love in the spotlight.

Quinceañeras

We have a space that's perfect for your daughter's Quince, whether you're looking to host a glamorous soiree or a party with a touch of whimsy. Whatever her vision and yours, your daughter will be the Belle of the Ball and you will truly get to enjoy the time with family and friends as our experienced and professional staff will attend to every last detail.
