The flexibility of our spaces means you get to be creative. Here's some celebrations we’ve seen:

-
Milestone Parties: You can host a celebration with performances on our professional stage with full theatrical lighting.
-
Kids' Parties: Using our studio, you can set up craft tables, gaming equipment or have a movie viewing.
-
Food Vendors: Instead of a sit-down meal, you can bring in street food vendors and turn the courtyard into a food fest.
