Frequently Asked Questions

Can we bring in a caterer?

Central Energy is exclusively partnered with Loosh Culinaire for catering. Loosh Culinaire is a versatile caterer who can provide a wide variety of culinary options for most budgets, from a simple continental breakfast to the most elaborate seated dinner.

What is your capacity?

Capacity of an event depends on many factors, including the format of the event (seated, cocktail, etc). Events in our main room tend to range in size from 150 to 550 guests. Adding the optional connected courtyard to your rental can increase capacity by 100 to 200 guests, depending on the setup. Larger overall capacity is feasible - let’s talk!
