Your room rental is for 12 hours. The Convention Center closes at midnight, so your block would normally run from noon ‘til midnight. Extra hours can be added to your block on the “start” side of your event for a small fee.

We have smaller rooms available for rent that can be utilized by the bride, groom and/or wedding party.
