More Than Just A Wedding Venue
Traditional Indian Saree in the Dining Room

Often, when people think about an event space, the assumption is that we mainly do weddings. While we do help host many weddings, and they tend to be our most detailed events that we help host, they are certainly not the only type of event that we help facilitate. In total, The Beacon has helped host about 350 events, over 50 of which were weddings. That leaves us with about 300 other events that we’ve helped facilitate in just over two years.

The other 300 or so events are usually smaller, shorter events with less planning time than weddings. Luckily, we have several rooms of varying sizes to help accommodate everyone’s needs. Throughout the year, we regularly have baby showers, wedding showers, birthday parties and meetings. Legislative session keeps us busy in the first quarter of the year with receptions, some conferences and a few meetings. We get to help host groups from all over the state who come to the Capital City to meet and work with our state government. This leads into weddings, proms and graduation parties in late April and May. In the fall, wedding season picks back up again, along with fundraisers and holiday parties in late November and December. We finish every year with our New Year's Eve celebration.
We have gotten to experience some more unique events along the way, like a Saree and Quinceañeras. Each event has its own flair, and we love to see what our clients come up with. We’ve seen a holiday party with casino games, a birthday party with a funnel cake truck, a private party where everyone dressed up according to the theme and a fundraiser with dueling pianos. The creative juices are flowing, and it’s so fun to experience it all!
