After 35 years of service to our community, the Jensen Center is excited to announce our 3Stage Expansion Project.
With steady growth, increased participation in programs, events and rentals, the Center is ready to expand!
The plan includes 3 parts: an outdoor terrace connected to the large community room, a backstage bump-out and a necessary update to the fire protection and sprinkler system.

“This was the best option for our family Christmas. Plenty of room for all the grandkids & other family members and gifts. The price was right also. We will be reserving again for Christmas!
Thank you so much for everything! This facility and all its “little extras” are truly amazing. Your continuous availability for my many questions was a God sent blessing that eased my anxiety more than a little. Thank you so much!
A very nice venue at a reasonable rate. I highly recommend!!!
I’m writing to express our appreciation to have your facility for a wedding reception. You have a terrific venue and the guests had a great time. We were the food crew too and absolutely loved your kitchen. It made things so easy!
It is so great to have the Jensen Center available to the community!
This was an excellent place for our large celebration. Many people commented on your facility and what a wonderful place it was.
“Staff and Center were GREAT! You’ve got a wonderful crew and community asset in Amherst.”
“Wonderful venue. Helpful and responsive staff. We could not have asked for more for our mother’s 80th birthday party. Thank you!”
The Jensen Center is a clean, warm and welcoming facility. The staff is great to work with and is very accommodating. I look forward to holding future events there.
The Jensen Community Center is another jewel in central Wisconsin. The staff pay attention to your every detail and need. The facility has a lot of set-up options and it was perfect for our event.
“Great facility, very happy we decided to rent the Jensen Community Center. We received a lot of compliments about how nice a facility it was. We would definitely recommend the Center for anyone looking to host an event.”
