Planning an event in 2024? 

Or maybe you know someone who is. Either way, we have the perfect venue for any event! Business meetings, weddings, special occasions or anything in between – one of our FIVE event spaces will suite your needs.

Let's talk pricing

When it comes to pricing, we have a flexible approach. There is no room rental fee for any of our spaces; instead, we work on a minimum spend basis for food & beverage. Each space has a different minimum spend requirement and is based on time of day, number of guests, and days of the week. One of our dedicated Events Mangers will guide you every step of the way.
