Why it works for AV

Outside teams work here in practice — get the terms in writing before you contract.

Event spaces

Historic car museum floor

Capacity

20–85 guests # Event Spaces and Capacity - Main event room: max 80 seated, library-style walls lined with car books - Typical setup: mix of high tops and round tables for reception/dinner - Adjacent “Wheel Room” used for buffet (hubcap-lined walls, cars moved out for events) - Average event size: 40-50 people - Conference/breakout room: 15 seated, AV screen, Zoom/multi-conference capable - Tucked inside the main museum building, separate from event room - Both rooms can run simultaneously (wall divides them) - All rentals include: tables, chairs, black linens, setup, and cleanup - All rentals include guided museum tours (groups of 12-15, scheduled flexibly) - New third building purchased: 250-person event space planned - Target opening: spring/summer 2027 - Still in design phase; actively seeking AV/production and rental partners - Mary flagged need for flexible, high-tech setup (screens on both long walls, not one permanent central screen)

Partial by design — we publish only what the venue or our own site knowledge supports. "Confirm on walkthrough" is the honest answer and the reason producers do site visits.
