We have hosted wedding receptions with long banquet tables dressed in white linen and florals, intimate birthday dinners with projected monograms on the gallery wall, cocktail receptions with guests moving freely between lounge areas and the bar, and celebrations of every milestone in between. The space holds all of it beautifully because it was built to transform. Inside, you will find a full-service bar with on-site staff, a professional DJ booth, a complete AV and sound system, a catering prep kitchen for your outside caterer, and ADA-accessible restrooms.
