Wedding DJ at Centers of High Point Office in High Point, NC

The Space

Centers of High Point is a furniture market complex in downtown High Point, built across four buildings totaling 500,000 square feet of showroom space. The complex is organized around the Hamilton Building, which runs the length of an entire city block across three floors, the Manning Building on the corner of Russell and Manning streets, and the Centennial Building, each built to move exhibitors and buyers through showroom after showroom during High Point’s furniture markets.

Between the buildings sits a courtyard where visitors gather during market, a space built for relaxing between showroom visits and for hosting sales meetings on the spot rather than walking back to a hotel or office. Food trucks and seating fill the courtyard during market weeks, and the Hamilton Building lobby offers refreshment service, so the complex already functions as a working gathering space even outside of any single event held there.

Capacity & Layout

No published seated or standing capacity exists for Centers of High Point, which reflects what the building actually is: a showroom complex built for foot traffic through exhibitor spaces rather than a single room designed to seat a set number of guests. The scale is real, 500,000 square feet spread across four buildings, but that space is divided into showroom after showroom rather than one open hall.

The courtyard is the one space in the complex built for gathering rather than showroom display, which makes it the natural point for an event to center on, with the surrounding buildings, Hamilton, Manning, and Centennial, framing it on multiple sides. The Hamilton Building alone runs a full city block across three floors, giving a sense of the scale a group would need to account for when moving guests between any two points in the complex.

Amenities

The Hamilton Building lobby offers refreshment service, and the courtyard supports food trucks and seating during market weeks, giving the complex a working food and drink setup that a private event could draw on rather than building one from nothing. Beyond that, the complex’s amenities are built around its purpose as a furniture market rather than a private event.

What the space does offer is scale and a genuine sense of place: four connected buildings totaling 500,000 square feet of real showroom floor, built for High Point’s furniture market rather than dressed up to look industrial. For an event that wants that scale and that specific, working-market character, the complex offers something a purpose-built event venue does not.

Location & Getting There

Centers of High Point sits in downtown High Point, with its three named buildings, Hamilton, Manning, and Centennial, positioned around the corner of Russell and Manning streets and along South Centennial Street. The Hamilton Building alone runs the length of a full city block, so the complex has a real footprint within downtown rather than sitting off to one side of it.

Because the buildings are connected as a single complex, moving between them keeps a group within the same footprint rather than requiring a drive between separate addresses. Sound in a space this large depends on which part of the complex an event actually uses, the open courtyard versus a showroom floor inside one of the buildings, so a DJ needs to know in advance whether the setup is outdoors in the courtyard or indoors among the showroom’s harder surfaces.
