Our large event spaces can be arranged in a variety of popular layouts to suit your style, audience, and event goals. Common setups include theatre, reception, dining/banquet, cabaret, classroom and boardroom formats. Giving you flexibility to design your event exactly as you envision it. These configurations are widely across our venues and are suitable for everything from conferences to celebrations.

Most event planners recommend booking at least 6-12 months in advanced for conferences, corporate events or medium-to-large gathering, as availability and pricing are strongly affected by season and demand. For very high-demand dates or large scale events, especially weddings, booking 12-18 months ahead is considered best practice. Smaller events may offer more flexibility, but securing your space early gives you more options and often better rates.
