Where Back Creek meets an industrial loft vibe, sits the Hornor Maritime Center. The perfect space for your next event, from corporate meeting, to rehearsal dinner, wedding, or celebration of life, our facility offers endless opportunities for making memories. 

The Hornor Maritime Center is the perfect venue for smaller, intimate events. To ensure the safety and comfortability for all, the maximum capacity has been set to 75 guests (This limit does not include support staff i.e. caterers, bartenders). Rental of the space comes with tables and chairs to accommodate groups of any size, no furniture rentals required.

The refundable $500 damage deposit is due at the same time as the signed contract. The renter must provide ABYC Foundation with a Certificate of Insurance for a minimum of $1,000,000 per occurrence, with the "ABYC Foundation" named as additional insured. This may be obtained via your business or homeowner insurance or www.privateeventinsurance.com.

There is limited onsite parking. Since the building is in a mixed use area, street parking is usually available. Daytime weekday events may use 10 of our onsite spaces; weekend and evening events may access 21 spaces. We always encourage carpooling or using rideshare apps. Other parking can be discussed as needed.

We do not! The Hornor Maritime Center does not have the facility or staff to provide food and beverage for your large event. For smaller meetings during the week, we can provide daily beverage service for a per-person fee. For nighttime or daily events, your food options range from hiring a full-service caterer (required if you will have a bar), to bringing food yourself and committing to set up and clean up afterwards. These options give you the renter a much broader range of options, depending on your budget and your time. We do have lots of suggestions on caterers and lunch if you'd like some local knowledge

To help preserve our space, we ask that there is no confetti, glitter, or other hard-to-clean decorations. Also, since the event space is in a residential area, we like to be respectful neighbors, and cannot accommodate a DJ.
