GROUPS & EVENTS
We offer event planning, and our historic Great Room is perfect for retreats, weddings, conferences, or exhibits. At approximately 4,000 square feet, the space can accommodate up to 150 people. Painted majolica green, with 12’ wood ceilings, central heat/AC, and original Douglas fir flooring; this space is perfect for any event you throw.
During the day, the room fills with natural light, beaming in through the historic McCloud windows. But, if you want more control of the lighting, you can use our beautiful velvet drapes to block out the sunlight and take advantage of our state of the art dimmable lighting system. Equipped with spotlights, chandeliers, and hangable Edson lights, all programmable to your discretion, you won’t have issue lighting your event however you like.
If your special event requires visual or auditory media, we have you covered. We have an HD projector, retractable screen, and professional sound system, with a mixing console, two Yamaha PA speakers, and a microphone.
