Linen is available for our 60″ round tables, six-foot rectangular tables, and high-top tables. For the round tables, you can choose from a wide selection of colors to complement your event theme.

We offer a range of audiovisual equipment designed to enhance your event experience. The microphone delivers surround sound, ensuring clear audio throughout the space. Additionally, our projector and screen can be utilized either in the half room or expanded to the full room.

Layout Options

When planning your event layout, remember that including features such as a dance floor, DJ setup, buffet tables, or a bar will decrease the number of tables and guests the space can accommodate. If you rent the venue at its maximum capacity, it will not be possible to add a dance floor, as these additions require extra room. Adjust your selections accordingly to ensure a comfortable fit for your event.
