A look at a beautifully styled wedding at the Merchantville Community Center, featuring soft blue and white tones carried from the ceremony through the reception.

The ceremony took place on the back patio, where a floral arbor and coordinated seating created a personalized setting. Afterward, guests moved directly into the ballroom for the reception—just steps away, keeping the day connected and seamless.

The venue also offers a lower level that can be used for extra catering space or a bridal suite, giving you everything you need all in one location.

What this setup offers:
• Back patio for wedding ceremonies
• Ballroom for receptions nearby
• Lower level for catering or bridal suite (available as an add-on)
• One location for both parts of your day
• Flexible layout for your own décor and vendors

Our wedding rates include use of the rented space—either the ballroom only or both the ballroom and lower level—from 10:00 AM to 11:00 PM, giving you plenty of time to celebrate your way.

This afternoon, the lower level of the Community Center hosted a beautiful tea party filled with florals, conversation, and local history. 🌸☕

The event, hosted by the American Legion Auxiliary Unit 68, brought the community together for an afternoon celebrating the women who helped shape the history of Merchantville. Maureen McLoone of the local historical society shared stories about influential women who made a lasting difference in our town.

The Community Center’s lower level proved to be the perfect setting for this gathering. This versatile space can comfortably seat up to 60 guests and is ideal for a variety of events — from meetings and showers to luncheons, tea parties, and community programs.

Thank you to everyone who attended and to the organizations that continue to bring meaningful events like this to our community.
