Facility Description:
Great Hall/Sanctuary – The beautiful arched wooden beamed ceilings and a gorgeous back-lit stained glass window at the back of the stage makes our Great Hall/Sanctuary a lovely choice for weddings, memorials and other special and memorable milestone events.

The Great Hall/Sanctuary capacity per the fire marshal is 303, although it is typically set up for 188 on the main floor, and 47 in the balcony. An  additional 50 cushioned folding chairs provide total seating for 285. The beauty of this room makes it a frequent choice for weddings. The Great Hall offers generally favorable acoustics, though somewhat diminished in the Balcony. With windows all along the south wall and some in the east wall, the space cannot be totally darkened except at night.

There is an 8’ by 12’ projection screen that can be lowered from the ceiling above the chancel platform.

PA System

NOTE:  Concert presenters/performers must provide or contract for sound services for their performance(s), as the in-house sound system is not suitable for concert sound.

While the high quality monaural Public Address type sound system has occasionally served a performer or two, renters should note that there are no monitor speakers. The system is set up for speaking events and lectures, not for music. Four wired microphones are available for use with the PA system.

Those having specific needs, wishes or requirements should determine if those needs can be satisfied when first considering renting the facility. Fulfilling particular needs or requirements often depends upon the availability of RVUUF’s limited technical personnel for a specific date or time.

Accessibility
The front entrance to RVUUF’s main building and the doors to the Great Hall have level thresholds, as do its restrooms and administrative offices. The restrooms include stalls that are wheelchair-accessible. There is a curb-cut on the corner of C and Fourth streets next to RVUUF’s side yard.

Kitchen
Our kitchen is not an “approved kitchen”, so food cannot be prepared in our kitchen and then served to the public. You may only use the kitchen to store commercially prepackaged food and beverages used or sold at your event.
