We had a wonderful experience planning a Celebration of Life at 500 Orange. Cathy was extremely helpful in coordinating the event. It was one of the most challenging times in our lives, and she went above and beyond to honor our loved one. I don’t love that they only allow one bar vendor, but when all is said and done, that’s not the end of the world. The space was comfortable and easily accommodated our family and friends. Thank you for everything, Cathy!

I had my wedding here on July 16th! The venue is absolutely stunning! Stan did a beautiful job renovating the space while refurbishing the original glory of the building! The owners of 500 Orange went above and beyond to make sure my wedding was beautiful and that the event ran smooth. I couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful day, and I have Stan and his wonderful daughter Kathleen to thank. They genuinely care about all of their guests and will do all they can to help you have a memorable experience. If your looking for the perfect venue, this is it!! Also, don’t forget to grab some pictures in the jail cell. You will not be disappointed!

I had the pleasure of attending their historic grand opening event. I honestly couldn't help but fall in love with the history and welcoming environment that comes with this venue. Not to mention its centered in the heart of Downtown Fort Pierce. The owners, Stan and Jean are truly committed to building our community and it shows! I am so Thankful for their kindness, generosity, and commitment to our wonderful community. Because of their dedication this venue continues to make history. As it hosts many events from weddings to birthdays and special arts, music, and entertainment festivities for the community. It's slowly becoming the center for creating memorable moments in our community and I would have it any other way. Thank you so much!

We had a wonderful experience hosting our wedding reception at 500 Orange! We even brought 200 guests from Vero to Fort Pierce because we knew 500 Orange HAD to be the place we had our wedding reception! GORGEOUS venue, super cool bride and groom suites, wonderful owners - Stan & Jean have been married for years and years and were SO NICE, and so much more was amazing about 500 Orange!

We had our Annual Holiday Gala in December and what a great facility. We hosted over 75 people with a dance floor, silent/live auction, buffet style meal, large bar, and DJ. The management stepped up to make sure everything was perfect. Enough space to hold a small or large gala. Highly recommend.
