Party · 200 guests · November 2024
Out of the numerous large parties I've planned, iO Theater stands out as the most resourceful, flexible, and convenient event venue ever. Maureen, Charlie, and Fritz were super helpful throughout. The catering was so delicious, especially the calamari baskets. They have a free professional sound system, optional raised stage platforms, tables (with table cloths and skirts) and chairs for over 100 guests, a projector with screen, and a long white wall that can be served as a screen for 2 additional projectors! Their event space was perfect for my web/tablet/board gaming party with 130 guests. They have curtains for all the windows to create the desired low light environment. I used the projector they have in the event space but didn't use their dropdown projector screen to save space (I brought my own projector screen sheet and a staff helped me tie its anchors on the conveniently located curtain rods). Their new internet system was not yet set up for the event space but they let me hire my own internet contractor to set up faster wifi (there is one internet port for the space at the time which could let us set up internet access points). They gave us an audio person to help play our soundtrack during the entire event. The long and round tables and chairs were enough for my guests to play board games and eat on. Charlie helped us map out the set up of everything so that on the day their staff have everything ready for us. The location and parking was easy. Everything went extremely smoothly! Highly recommend iO Theater's venue space!
