Types of Events

The Greyline is ideal for both corporate and social events. We are able to host corporate meetings and training sessions, panel discussions, casual or upscale wedding celebrations, birthday parties (for kids and adults), rehearsal dinners, bar mitzvahs and bat mitzvahs, tailgate parties & more.

For corporate events, our in house audio system provides the ability to have multiple microphones, a mobile projector and screen for simple presentations as well as a built-in projector for slideshows. We can work closely with a local company for more extensive AV needs. We keep basic presentation essentials on hand for you to use for corporate events, large post its, markers, extension cords, and plenty of outlets for your guests to keep their electronics at full charge. Our in house wifi allows for accessibility during your event.

The beautifully appointed space provides many wonderful opportunities for photography during social events and weddings. There is an area for a dance floor, gift table, and registration. There is infrastructure in place to allow DJ’s and bands easy set-up with plenty of electrical capacity.

Amenities

We’re really excited about planning special events that capture the unique elements you have in mind for your event. We’re thrilled to help you create a completely customized setting including:

If you’d like a more specialized or custom welcome message projected, we can give you pricing on having something designed by our in house artists.

Background music can be chosen from our provider, or you may choose to create your own play list. We provide multiple stick and lavalier microphones.
We have installed electrical capacity with a separate designated sub panel that is available for DJ’s, bands, or other vendors to utilize during your event for convenience and assurance of capacity.
There is a designated charging station near the bar that includes a variety of different power cord styles for you and your guests to revive their portable electronic devices.
Make the space truly unique for your event with floral arrangements and customized decorations and lighting. We have several experienced designers that we work with and recommend. The space has the infrastructure that allows designers and florists to more easily create the perfect backdrop for your event.

Securing a Date

We hold the space for specific dates on a first come, first serve basis. As soon as you get in touch with us, we add your name to that event date and time in our calendar. If someone else gets in touch about that date before you’ve made your decision, we will contact you to give you the opportunity to make a guaranteed reservation at that time. If you don’t move forward, we will offer that date to the next interested party.

To reserve the Greyline for your event we require a deposit of $1,000 or the facility fee for your event (the greater of the two).
