Friedman Park Event Center

Friedman Park Event Center is a flexible venue in Newburgh, Indiana, set within the park and available for weddings, business functions, meetings and private celebrations. Its modern lodge-style building brings together a large ballroom, smaller meeting spaces and outdoor locations, giving event planners options for gatherings of different sizes and styles.

The 8,000-square-foot Grand Ballroom can host up to 500 guests, depending on the event layout. A soundproof partition allows it to be divided into the Lakeside and Fireside halls for smaller functions. The ballroom includes tables and chairs, projection facilities, wireless microphones and built-in speakers, making it suitable for banquets, fundraisers, presentations and parties. Smaller spaces include a boardroom for 12, a conference room for 16 and a classroom for up to 24, with screens, video-conferencing equipment and complimentary Wi-Fi.

For weddings, couples can choose indoor reception space or an outdoor ceremony setting. The lakeside pavilion overlooks the water, while wedding packages can include ceremony seating, a bridal suite, event coordination and access to the venue's AV equipment. Outdoor areas elsewhere in the park may also be added to a booking.

Planners can work with approved outside vendors under the venue's open-vendor policy. A catering kitchen is available for food preparation and presentation, and the venue provides information on approved caterers and other suppliers. With adaptable room configurations, event support and parkland surroundings, Friedman Park Event Center accommodates occasions ranging from board meetings and training sessions to large receptions and corporate gatherings.
