When it comes to choosing the perfect venue for your event, the kitchen facilities often play a crucial role, especially if food is a central part of your celebration. The Statesville Civic Center offers a standout feature that sets it apart from most venues: a great BIG kitchen equipped to handle your event's culinary needs with ease.

• Huge Walk-In Cooler: Keep all your ingredients fresh and easily accessible throughout your event.

• Industrial Ice Machine: Never run out of ice for your drinks and dishes.

• Warm Water Warmers and Stand-Up Warmers: Keep your dishes at the perfect temperature until it's time to serve.

• Convection Ovens: Bake, roast, and cook with precision using our state-of-the-art ovens.

Whether you're a professional caterer or simply looking to prepare your own food for a special occasion, our kitchen has everything you need.

Flexible Rental Options

We understand that every event is unique, which is why we offer flexible rental options for our kitchen:

• Half Kitchen Rental: You can rent half of the kitchen, sharing the space with another group.

• Full Kitchen Rental: If you prefer to have the entire kitchen to yourself, you can opt to rent the whole space. This gives you full access to all the facilities from the start of your event day.

In addition, the kitchen comes equipped with 3-level kitchen tier carts for easy serving and food transportation. Conveniently located in the back service hallway, the kitchen provides easy access to the ballrooms and is adjacent to our loading dock, making unloading and loading a breeze.

Freedom of Choice for Catering

At the Statesville Civic Center, we believe in giving our clients the freedom to choose.

Unlike many venues that restrict catering options, we allow you to:

• Choose Any Caterer: You're free to bring in any caterer that suits your tastes and needs.

• Bring Your Own Food: For those who prefer a personal touch, you can bring your own prepared food.

• Cook Onsite: Our kitchen is fully equipped for you to cook your meals on the day of your event.

This flexibility is particularly appreciated by groups with cultural food traditions, allowing them to celebrate in a way that's meaningful to them. Finding a venue that offers this level of freedom, especially one with a kitchen of this size, is truly rare.
