A company meeting for 25 people lasting two hours averages $250. We will be happy to refer you to an approved catering company or you may hire your own once it is determined they are able to work within our space requirements.
We require a minimum of 12 guests and a maximum of 28 guests for any seated and plated event.
We require a minimum of 20 guests and a maximum of 50 guests for any standing or lecture style event.
