How many guests does The 284 hold?

Published figures put The 284 at about 300 seated. Tell us your guest count when you check your date and we will size the sound and lighting to the room.

Can you cover the ceremony and reception in different spaces at The 284?

Yes. The spaces at The 284 include Main hall, two stages, billiard room, outdoor tent. Ceremony sound is its own setup, so we can run the ceremony in one space and the reception in another.

Can you cover the ceremony as well as the reception?

Yes. Ceremony sound is its own setup rather than a speaker borrowed from the reception rig, and a lapel mic is included for your officiant.

Do you bring a photo booth to The 284?

Yes. One team handles the DJ, the photo booth and the uplighting on one contract, so there is one load-in and one point of contact instead of three vendors coordinating with each other.
