Downtown Orlando’s Premier Private Event Venue
Anthem is purpose-built as a flexible event space. Whether you’re hosting a corporate off-site during the day, a non-profit gala in the evening, or a late-night milestone birthday, Anthem’s full-service production team, versatile space, and central downtown location make complex events feel effortless. When we’re not hosting our regular nightlife programming, the venue is available for private bookings — daytime, evening, or full-day buyouts.
What You Can Host at Anthem
Corporate Events & Off-Sites
Quarterly all-hands, team off-sites, holiday parties, product launches, networking mixers, conference after-parties, and executive dinners. Anthem’s professional AV rig handles keynote presentations with full sound and microphones, transitions seamlessly into cocktail-hour ambiance, and ends the night with a DJ and full dance floor. Downtown location means easy access for guests coming from Lake Mary, Winter Park, and the airport.
Non-Profit Galas & Fundraisers
Anthem is a natural fit for Central Florida’s LGBTQ+ organizations, arts non-profits, and community foundations hosting fundraising galas, benefit concerts, and donor appreciation events. Our LGBTQ+-owned status and community-centered values make us a meaningful partner for mission-aligned events — and we work with non-profits on flexible terms wherever we can.
Private Celebrations
Milestone birthdays, anniversaries, bachelor and bachelorette parties, engagement parties, retirement celebrations, baby showers, graduation parties, and holiday gatherings. Anthem’s mix of elegant cocktail-hour setup and high-energy dance floor means your event can shift modes as the night goes on — without moving venues.
Brand Activations & Private Screenings
Product launches, pop-up experiences, influencer events, film premieres, listening parties, and brand activations. Our full lighting rig, LED wall, stage, and sound system support immersive branded environments without additional production rentals. Need a camera-ready space? Anthem photographs and films beautifully day or night.
The Space
Anthem sits at 100 North Orange Avenue in the heart of downtown Orlando — the Orange Avenue nightlife corridor, steps from SunRail, Lynx, and the region’s major parking garages. The venue includes a main room with stage and full dance floor, cocktail lounge areas, multiple bars, and private/VIP zones that can be cordoned off for different event layouts.
Anthem’s private event capacity is set by city-approved fire code and varies with your layout. Final capacity for your event is always confirmed during planning.
Typical layout guidelines (contact us for exact capacity based on your setup):
- Standing / cocktail reception: up to our fire-code maximum
- Seated banquet with tables: a smaller number, depending on table configuration
- Theater / presentation seating: a smaller number, depending on aisle and stage setup
Capacity depends on layout, stage setup, catering stations, and whether the dance floor is reserved or configured for seating. For exact numbers for your event, send us an inquiry and we’ll walk through the right layout and confirm capacity for your specific setup.
What’s Included
Full Bar & Alcohol License
Anthem holds a full liquor license and provides professional bartenders for every event. Your package can include open bar, hosted bar, consumption bar, or cash bar — and we’ll work with you on signature cocktails branded to your event, custom drink menus, and premium spirit selections. See our standard drink menu as a starting point for what’s possible.
In-House AV Production
Our venue is a fully-equipped nightclub, which means you’re booking into infrastructure that most Orlando event venues charge extra to rent:
- Professional sound system — nightclub-grade audio throughout the venue
- Full lighting rig — intelligent lights and wash for cinematic ambiance and stage moments
- Stage & DJ booth — ready for keynote speakers, live performance, or DJ sets
- Microphones — for presentations, toasts, and announcements
- Visual displays — for branded content, slides, or event graphics
Specific capabilities for your event are confirmed during planning — every venue tour includes a walkthrough of the exact equipment available on your date.
Catering Flexibility
Anthem’s in-house kitchen handles a range of event food needs — or bring your own caterer. We work with preferred local partners and are happy to accommodate dietary needs (vegan, gluten-free, kosher, halal, allergen-aware). For full-service corporate dinners or plated gala service, we’ll coordinate with a caterer that matches your event scale and budget.
Experienced Event Team
Every private event at Anthem is supported by a seasoned production team — event coordinators, professional bartenders, security, coat check, and venue managers who’ve run hundreds of nightclub events and know how to execute at a high level under pressure.
