The University Center at Kent State Stark
Conveniently situated between Akron and Canton on the picturesque campus of Kent State University at Stark, The University Center is just minutes away from the Akron-Canton Airport and a number of quality partner hotels. The campus is unlike other university grounds with its gently rolling hills, neatly manicured lawns and beautiful landscaping, providing a spacious, secluded venue with an elegant, country club atmosphere.
 With its vaulted ceilings, magnificent skylights and flowing mahogany staircase, The University Center’s spacious atrium is the perfect site for greeting and mingling with guests, enjoying hors d’ouevres, wine and spirits, and photographing wedding parties, family and friends, while enjoying background music from The Center’s beautiful baby grand piano, which doubles as a player piano. Comfortable soft seating is available throughout the atrium, allowing guests to relax and take in the experience.
Inside Timken Grand Ballroom, up to four hundred guests may gather comfortably with plenty of room for dancing and merrymaking. Exquisitely decorated in neutrals, the ballroom allows for an array of styles, colors and décor preferences for any special event. Dinner music, variable lighting effects, fichus trees, techno beams and many more amenities add the finishing touches.
In addition to a fabulous gourmet menu prepared by culinary professionals, wedding packages include hors d’ouevres, four hours of attended bar service, linens and skirting, centerpieces, 16x16 projection screens and an on-site AV technician, ensuring that all technical aspects run without a hitch.
Smaller, more intimate groups will delight in the charming Gallery Room, where local artisans display their artwork for guests to enjoy. Two lovely patios provide romantic settings when parties wish to move outdoors to bask in a balmy afternoon or evening.
 The University Center’s highly qualified staff provides decades of experience in executing events, from an event planner to assist every step of the way, to an unparalleled wait staff, bartenders and administrative staff who exhibit a rare commitment and desire to exceed industry standards in customer satisfaction.
By day, The University Center is Stark County’s choice as “Best Place to Host a Meeting or Corporate Event” and by night, The University Center is the choice for wedding receptions that dreams are made of.
