Historic Music Venue
Where 165 years of history create extraordinary celebrations. Entertainment worthy of downtown Gainesville's most iconic venue.
Check Availability Our ServicesThe Wooly is downtown Gainesville's most storied wedding venue — a historic building with over 165 years of history, originally the Arlington Hotel (1860), rebuilt as Endel's Dry Goods (1886) with original brick that remains today, and later home to F.W. Woolworth Co. (1923). Opened as a music venue in 2013, The Wooly now offers couples the chance to celebrate amid art deco flair, in-house catering, and full-service bar in the heart of downtown. COS Celebrations understands that couples who choose The Wooly appreciate venues with character and soul. Our DJ + live saxophone provides entertainment that honors this remarkable history — atmospheric during cocktails in the storied space, electric when the celebration transforms into a dance party.

Over 165 years of stories live in these walls. Our entertainment respects this legacy while creating new memories for your celebration.
