Grand Ballroom

Best For: Corporate galas and conferences (500-guest capacity), formal weddings and receptions, awards ceremonies, large networking events

Estimated Budget Range: $8,000–$15,000+ per event (estimate). The $5,000 daily venue fee is the foundation, but total costs typically include catering ($25–$40 per person), AV/technical setup ($1,000–$3,000), and staffing. Actual costs vary significantly based on guest count, catering selections, and additional services required.

What planners usually like:

• Hotel ballroom setting typically includes built-in infrastructure (tables, chairs, basic lighting) that reduces rental costs
• 500-guest capacity suits mid-to-large events without requiring multiple spaces
• Hotel venue often simplifies logistics—accommodations, bar service, and event coordination typically under one roof
• WiFi included supports hybrid events or tech-dependent activities

Things to clarify before booking:

• Business hours and setup/breakdown times: Confirm whether the $5,000 daily rate includes full-day access or limited hours, and what happens if your event runs late
• Catering and beverage requirements: Clarify if in-house catering is mandatory, pricing structure, and whether outside catering is permitted
• Additional costs: Request a detailed breakdown of potential add-ons (AV, tables, chairs, linens, staffing, parking, service charges, taxes)
• Availability and flexibility: Confirm blackout dates, flexibility for custom layouts, and whether the space can be divided for smaller concurrent events
