Built by Deerfield Construction Company, the 10,000 square-foot Community Life Center features a grand ballroom, rotunda, courtyard, and tower as well as bridal and groom’s suites. The Buchanan Ballroom can accommodate parties of up to 300 guests and is fitted with a built-in dance floor as well as state-of-the-art audio/visual equipment. The Rotunda houses an art gallery, complete with several original pieces, many of which feature the first President of the United States, George Washington. The Rotunda also boasts a spectacular fountain. Eighty-four chandeliers grace the halls of the Community Life Center. The significance of the chandeliers is that they were created by Schonbek– the same international lighting manufacturer that crafted chandeliers for Buckingham Palace as well as the White House. The Crystal Tower houses the Community Life Center’s 40,000 crystal chandelier which is a beacon of light for all of the east side. The open-air courtyard is surrounded by seasonal roses and can seat up to 300 guests. It is graced by the presence of the Crystal Tower, which many brides prefer to use for their “grand entrance.”
