Counts assume our tables and chairs. Bringing lounge furniture, a photo booth or a large band? Plan on roughly 15% fewer seats.

The Kitchen

A kitchen your caterer will actually be happy about

Most halls this size hand you a warming cabinet and wish you luck. Ours is a working kitchen, which is why so many families here still cook their own reunion dinner rather than paying someone to.

Included with every rental: 2 full ranges with ovens · 2 commercial refrigerators · 1 freezer · 2 microwaves · ice machine or chest coolers · stainless prep counters · three-bay sink and hand sink · serving window to the hall

Not included: small wares, pans, utensils, dishes, linens and ice. Bring them or add them from the rate card.
