The Foyer offers the just-right size and budget for your event of up to 125 guests. Parties are more fun when the space is comfortably full which gets tricky for smaller events when most full-service venues are designed for events twice your size. Our modern side-by-side venue allows us to create dedicated spaces for each portion of your event. This means you can enjoy a private cocktail lounge prior to taking your seats for dinner or avoid having to flip the room to have ceremony and reception in the same venue. For even smaller events including rehearsal dinners and showers, you can just rent Foyer East or Foyer West for a budget experience that’s even more dialed in to your needs. Our included dinnerware collection and full-service staff makes sure there’s nothing small about your experience. We really mean it when we say we’re bringing full service and design to your small event.
