An exclusive booking means your event has sole use of the entire venue, including all ballrooms and shared spaces. No other events will take place on-site during your celebration. This option provides complete privacy, full control over arrival times and guest flow, and a fully dedicated venue team.

A non-exclusive booking means your event takes place in one or more of our spaces, while another celebration may be held elsewhere in the venue at the same time. Each ballroom operates independently, with separate staffing and service teams to ensure your event runs seamlessly.

When two events are taking place, the foyer is professionally partitioned to create clearly defined arrival and reception areas for each celebration. This ensures guest privacy, smooth arrivals, and a clear distinction between events. The team carefully manages guest flow from entrance to ballroom to maintain a seamless experience.
