The Grand Ballroom

Designed to be the “grandest room”, the Ballroom is 10,412 square feet of open, elegant, column-free space. The richly carpeted space can be divided into four separate rooms, each featuring state-of-the-art audio/visual, dimming, and design lighting systems.

Upon arriving at the majestic ballroom another natural treasure is evident in the décor. The grand monarch butterfly with its intricate details and bold colors spill across the floor. From the luxurious carpet to the impressive chandelier, the Ballroom was designed to capture the elements of our surroundings by accentuating the regal monarch butterfly.

The crown jewel of the ballroom is its chandelier, a dazzling, sparkling array of crystals make up the body of this giant butterfly with wings outstretched across the ceiling encompassing the visitor with its breathtaking beauty.
