A room that glows in daylight.
Sheer curtains soften a full wall of windows, so the light stays bright but gentle all day. Blackout shades are there when you want a darker room for a slideshow or an evening feel.
You bring the people. The room brings the rest.
Most venues hand you an empty room and a rental list. Here the tables and chairs are part of the booking, and so are the rooms behind the scenes.

- ✓6 rectangle tables
- ✓2 cocktail tables
- ✓Sound system with speakers
- ✓Blackout shades
- ✓Backdrop stand
- ✓Prep kitchen with full-size fridge
- ✓Getting Ready Suite and Wardrobe/Flex Room

Same room, two different days.
An empty canvas on Friday, a party on Saturday.
What people say after their event
You'll know the cost before you fall in love with the room.
Most events fit a 4 hour or an 8 hour block. Your setup and breakdown time count toward your booked hours, so plan for both.
