Planning Your Banquet

We have two rooms available for banquets: a large ballroom, which can accommodate 150-1200 people, and a banquet hall, for groups of up to 180. If you make use of our catering service and purchase a certain minimum amount in concessions, your room rent is waived! (Restrictions apply.) More information on room rents is available here. If you haven’t visited our facilities in person, please take a virtual tour today!
