The Space

The main hall set for a reception at The Venue
The heart of it all

The Main Hall

An adaptable open floor designed to transform — wedding receptions under white drapery, conference rows with a large projection screen, or a standing-room concert crowd. Flexible layout options and customizable décor mean the room is always yours.

State-of-the-art audio-visual capabilities support everything from keynote presentations to full stage productions.

The Grotto

Our outdoor venue with its own stage — perfect for open-air ceremonies, summer concerts, and golden-hour cocktail receptions just outside the main hall.

Set it your way — full tables and chairs for a seated affair, cocktail tables for mingling, or any mix in between.

Up to 250 guests Flexible setup
The Social Hour Room at The Venue, set for a gathering
For smaller gatherings

The Social Hour Room

A relaxed, right-sized room perfect for smaller groups — showers, meetings, rehearsal dinners, receptions, and get-togethers that call for something more intimate than the main hall.

Every Social Hour Room rental also includes the adjoining Grotto space, so your gathering can spill outdoors.
