Step 1

Decide on a date and time you would like to host the open house.

Be sure to let us know the details of your event and be sure to include time for setup and breakdown. We have large and small conference rooms available. In fact, we can accommodate up to 100 of your guests at one time open-house style!

Step 3

Once you have secured the space it’s time to start letting your guests know about this fun event. Create a Facebook event invite, an email invitation or even a snail mail notice. Give your guests at least a month’s notice prior to the event and encourage them to bring a friend along with them. Need help with these tasks?
