Need a reception space? We have that, too.

The Five Flags Center can accommodate a wedding reception for 20-700 people in downtown Dubuque. You might be asking yourself, "How can they do that?"

We're glad you asked.

The Five Flags Center has a number of different locations to hold your wedding reception depending on your needs and budget.
- The Five Flags Center Ballroom (200 - 500 guests)
- Five Flags Arena Promenade (100 guests)
- Five Flags Center Bijou Room (20 - 50 guests)
- Five Flags Theater Stage (50 guests)

The Five Flags Center Advantage:

Five Flags is unique compared to traditional wedding venues. We do not have any exclusive partnerships with local vendors for venue rentals. This means you are able to source your own caterer, wedding cake, & decorator.

We are located in the heart of downtown Dubuque. The Five Flags Center is located at 405 Main Street - across the street from Holiday Inn, two blocks away from Hotel Julien, and there are bars and restaurants within walking distance. This is a convenient location if you are expecting a number of guests from out of town.

We are a blank canvas. The Five Flags Center Ballroom is created by hanging black curtains in our arena near Gate C. You can create a reception however you want within this space. See the photos above to see how the ballroom is set up in three different ways.
