When you’re planning your wedding, you want a venue that feels both timeless and completely yours for the day. At Fox Event Center, we’ve been part of Redlands’ story since 1928, and we’d love to become part of yours too. Our beautifully restored historic theater combines vintage crown molding and ornate architecture with modern amenities, creating a backdrop that’s both elegant and functional for your celebration.
Why Fox Event Center Stands Out for Your Wedding Day
We host only one event per day, which means your wedding receives our complete attention and you have full facility access throughout your celebration. This approach lets you truly make the space your own without worrying about rushed transitions or shared amenities.
The Spaces That Make Your Day Flow perfectly
Our venue centers around three distinctive spaces that work together beautifully for weddings. The Grand Staircase creates a stunning entrance and photo opportunity that your guests will remember. The Ballroom accommodates up to 300 guests with high ceilings, elegant lighting, and a spacious dance floor that’s perfect for everything from your first dance to late-night celebrations. The balcony adds architectural interest and gives you additional options for cocktail hour or intimate conversations.
The original theater marquee still graces our downtown Redlands location, offering another unique photo spot that connects your wedding to nearly a century of celebrations and performances in this space.
Service and Support Throughout Your Celebration
Our experienced event planning support works with you to bring your vision to life, whether you’re planning an intimate ceremony, a grand reception, or both. We understand that every couple’s needs are different, so we create tailored packages that fit your specific celebration style and guest count.
Food, Beverage, and Vendor Flexibility
We maintain an open vendor policy, which means you can work with the caterers and other vendors who best match your taste and budget. Outside catering is allowed, and we permit full bars with licensed caterers. This flexibility extends to our partnerships with top-rated caterers and decorators who know our space well if you’d prefer recommendations.
Our in-house catering team offers customizable menus with breakfast, lunch, and dinner options. Whether you want herbed chicken breast, skirt steak with chimichurri, or vegan options, we can accommodate your preferences and dietary needs.
What’s Included With Your Fox Event Center Wedding
Your wedding package includes full facility access for the day, which means you’re not sharing the space or rushing through your timeline. We provide full audio and visual capabilities for DJs, speeches, and live performances, so your ceremony and reception sound exactly as you envision them.
The vintage architecture speaks for itself, but we’ve added modern upgrades that make everything work smoothly behind the scenes. You’ll have access to a dressing room and prep space for hair and makeup, plus AV setup and projection screens if you want to share photos or videos with your guests.
Celebrating in Downtown Redlands
Our location in the heart of downtown Redlands puts you close to convenient parking and nearby hotels for out-of-town guests. The historic downtown setting adds to your wedding photos and gives you easy access to the area for any pre-wedding activities or post-celebration brunches.
We proudly serve couples throughout the Inland Empire, including Yucaipa, Highland, Loma Linda, Mentone, San Bernardino, Beaumont, and Colton.
Events We Love to Host
While weddings are our specialty, we also welcome quinceañeras, anniversary celebrations, vow renewals, birthday parties, corporate events, and school celebrations like proms and graduations. Each event type gets the same personalized attention and full facility access that makes Fox Event Center special.
Conclusion
Your wedding day deserves a venue that’s as committed to your celebration as you are. At Fox Event Center, we’ve spent decades perfecting the art of hospitality in this beautiful historic space, and we can’t wait to help you create your own chapter in our story.
