Melbourne’s rental directory includes the Crane Community Center at 1440 Mosswood Drive and the Front Street Civic Center at 2205 Front Street. The city describes uses ranging from meetings and seminars to receptions and parties.

Begin a venue search with the size and shape of your event. A short presentation, a seated meal and a children’s activity can require very different arrangements even when the guest count is similar.

Ask the facility about availability, setup time, equipment and the complete rental terms before issuing invitations. A directory listing is a starting point, not a reservation. Put the exact venue name and address on your invitation so guests do not confuse similarly named community facilities.
