About

Event Planning Made Easy

A great vision is nothing without great plans. We know that details make a difference — and that’s where you can count on us. Our catering and event staff have 25+ years of experience and will partner with you to plan the perfect event. Don’t be afraid to ask what’s possible because we love celebrating the unique.

While the layout of each event is unique, most events comfortably serve up to 150 guests for full facility rentals. We are able to divide the space for smaller events with our “Green Room” holding up to 60-75 guests and our “Main Hall” holding up to 100-125 guests. Layout is the key which is why we always encourage a tour and walk-through to envision possible layouts to accommodate your event.

Are catering services available for events at The Gem?

Absolutely, that’s one of our favorite parts of it! We have been catering for over 25 years and The Gem gives us another location to show off our food. You can explore our catering menu online to see the variety of options available, including dishes for vegans, vegetarians, and gluten-free guests. Let us know if you had something different or special in mind and our catering chef is happy to try to work with you to make it a reality!

Does The Gem offer alcoholic beverages?

We have a D5 Liquor License (which includes beer, wine, and spirits) and have many bar service packages available. No outside alcohol is allowed on-site.

Are there parking options and handicap accessibility at The Gem?

Yes, there is dedicated, on-site parking at The Gem with preferred spots available for VIP / Special Guests. And we are proud that our facility is fully handicap accessible, including two wheelchair ramps to enter/exit the facility and ADA-compliant restrooms.
