ABOUT US
the regent
“Mission Statement: The Regent will meet the needs of the Greater Brandon community in Eastern Hillsborough County with a focus on artistic, civic, cultural, educational, historic, philanthropic, and social purposes, including classes, meetings, events, and performances.
Beyond a place to house events, The Regent takes to heart its mission in becoming for the citizens of Greater Brandon a place for diverse interests to come together and build connections and a sense of civic pride.
We welcome here friends and partners who believe that a strong civic, education, and cultural industry rests on the past and creates the future. May we never cease to remember, learn, and enlighten.”
Life is all about remarkable celebrations! As bystanders, we see many joyful events and are always so proud to be a part of the memories we help make. A young couple starting their life together as man and wife, dear friends gathering to shower a mom-to-be, a family celebrating a ten-year reunion, an older couple toasting fifty years together; yes, life seems richer when we take the time to enjoy one another! The Regent provides the perfect backdrop for all of our community and all of life’s celebrations.
We love being part of the neighborhood and sharing this facility with the wonderful array of businesses, community groups and individuals who make Brandon such a magnificent place to call home.
This year The Regent will host a variety of fantastic celebrations, all with various styles and purpose. The Regent will be home to a plethora of community-centric events, unbelievable wedding ceremonies and receptions, successful fundraisers, glamorous galas, auctions, seminars, retreats and even super-sweet 16 parties. We’ll also play host when special organizations utilize the faculty for training employees, community leaders hold special meetings or when troop leaders teach boy scouts how to tie their first marine knot.
