Room Setup and Information

Variables for room setups include the number of guests attending, event date (during summer months Tripp Commons deck is typically used for hors d'oeuvres and the bar) buffet or sit down dinner, etc.

Room counts:
Great Hall: Maximum seating using all round tables is 220 (seating 8 each) including a head table. Maximum capacity for a seated meal is 350, set using all rectangle banquet tables in rows (each banquet table seats 8).

Tripp Commons: Maximum seating using all round tables is 160 (seating 8 each) including a head table. Maximum capacity for a seated meal is 240, set using all rectangle banquet tables in rows (each banquet table seats 8).

A cake table, registration table, gift table, and DJ/band table will be provided as needed. Risers are available for the head table if desired. (See Rental Schedule for pricing)

Depending on the number of guests attending and the room setup, several tables may be removed after the meal to make room for a dance floor. Signs will be placed on those tables to notify the guests sitting there.

Coat racks will be provided seasonally as needed. Extra rooms may be available through Central Reservations for dressing rooms and auxiliary rooms. If the reception is held in Tripp Commons during the summer, Inn Wisconsin may be used as a rain location for the bar and hors d'oeuvres.
