The Carnegie Center of Columbia Tusculum Overview

Built in 1909, the Carnegie Center of Columbia Tusculum was originally a public library. Today, the restored facility is an ideal venue for your wedding celebration. With three spaces to choose from—the West Room, the East Room, and the Central Room—you can conveniently host both ceremony and reception on site. The Carnegie Center is also a premier choice if you're looking for a reception-only venue. The stately Beaux Arts building boasts large, arched windows, majestic 22-foot ceilings, brass chandeliers, and concentric-patterned wood floors. Natural woodwork and window seats enhance the charm and warmth of the space. The East Room provides a lovely setting for an indoor ceremony. It is also great for smaller wedding receptions. The West Room is great choice for larger groups. You and your guests can enjoy buffet or plated family-style dinner in the center's intimate setting. The center's exclusive caterer, Jeff Thomas Catering, is known for customer service, custom-designed events, and a wide variety of culinary options. They can provide you with just food or full-service options that include centerpieces, event coordination, rentals, linens, etc.
