The venue’s distinctive setting includes more than 16,000 square feet of main event space, plus additional outdoor river deck and staging areas that give hosts plenty of room to design the event flow they envision.

  • A 1,300-square-foot catering kitchen
  • Distinctive bars
  • Tables and chairs
