An economical wedding venue – the Durham Arts Council

I used to do concerts in this space. The Durham Arts Council doesn’t present local music any more, but it does host weddings.

On their website you’ll find a detailed breakdown of the prices for various rooms.

The chairs are free, there are tables available to rent. You bring your own caterer. If you want hard liquor, you’ll have to pay $30 per hour for a deputy (one deputy for every 100 guests).
They claim parking is not a problem although they are in downtown Durham – on the weekends, the South Bank parking lot is available. There is a large parking garage adjacent with a reasonable hourly rate.
