About The Drexel Event Center
The Drexel Event Center is a rentable event space at 219 South Drexel Street in Guthrie, Oklahoma, in a building originally home to E.J.

The venue is marketed for private celebrations and gatherings and offers a main indoor room, north and south wings, outdoor spaces, and a set of wood pews and an arch that can be booked as an add-on or within full-weekend packages. Tables and chairs can be set up for up to 100 guests as an optional add-on. Basic packages include climate control, WiFi, wheelchair access, restrooms, and use of the main indoor room, with onsite parking and additional parking one block away.
