Business Receptions
At 5,000 square feet with 18 foot ceilings, the Grand Ballroom seats 450 theater style, 300 classroom style, and 310 for a banquet, with room for 500 at a standing reception. High ceilings, intricate crown molding, and the original 1927 chandeliers give the space a sense of occasion that a conference center cannot match.
A high definition projector and screen are already in the room, alongside house sound and wireless internet throughout the building. Food and beverage is prepared in house by our own kitchen, so there are no outside vendors to coordinate. Guest rooms are in the same building for attendees travelling in.
