Event Spaces
| Meeting Room | Descriptions | Square Footage |

| Entry Foyer | A welcome area mainly used as a thoroughfare to lead guests to the main bars, lobby area or main auditorium. Great for registration and step & repeats | |
| Main Lobby | Guests will instantly feel welcome as they enter the main lobby which has a bar and booths that may be used for gift bags, F&B service, merchandise sales, etc. | |
| Balcony Lobby | Additional space is located upstairs from the main lobby for guests to mingle, grab beverages & get comfortable. The spaces combined work well for receptions, pre-cocktail hour, meet & greets, etc. | |
| Lower Level Auditorium | The lower level of the auditorium accomodates a large range of different events from corporate presentations to seated dinner banquets to concert & entertainment events. This space is below the balcony, which is not visible from this level. Guests using only the lower level of the auditorium still have an intimate atmosphere that does not feel empty when only using this space. | |
| Balcony (Upper Level Auditorium) | The Balcony gives you the option to increase capacity and host many more guests for any type of event. We have just installed brand new chairs as of February 2016 & are able to accomodate 1134 seated guests in this space. |
