Gala Event

Galas are meant to be lavish, with exquisite food, a spacious dance floor and music or other entertainment for your guests. Host a successful gala event at The NEW Center in our beautiful ballroom or spacious atrium. There’s no “one size fits all” at our facility… we encourage you to think outside the box when it comes to hosting a gala at The NEW Center!

Unique and Memorable Parties at The NEW Center

A successful gala event is sure to feature only the best in food, music, dancing and entertainment, and our facility has the space, equipment and staff to handle every last detail. Our event rooms include a ballroom, grand ballroom, open atrium, auditorium, patio and more.

To get some ideas flowing around your next gala, we’ve thought of a few scenarios that utilize everything our facility has to offer:

  • A night of drinks, hors d’oeuvres and live music on our furnished patio
  • An elegant dinner of decadent culinary creations followed by a performance on stage in the Grand Ballroom
  • Cocktail hour inside the Atrium followed by an upscale dinner and dessert buffet in the University Hall Ballroom
