Lasting Memories Event Venue rents an indoor hall with outdoor space for up to 70 guests in Gibbstown, New Jersey, in South Jersey. It is set up for weddings and receptions, and the official site also lists meetings, classes, graduations, anniversaries and corporate events.
Seminars and company events
The site names meetings, classes, corporate events, book signings and art shows among the uses of the venue. The hall is rented in blocks of 5 to 8 hours, and setup and breakdown count within that time. Hourly rates are available Monday to Thursday, which suits a weekday workshop or a short meeting. Every package includes 60-inch round tables, 6-foot rectangular tables, 32-inch cocktail tables, acrylic chairs, Bluetooth surround sound, a television, free Wi-Fi and free parking. The Platinum and Ultimate packages add a wireless microphone, which helps for speeches and presentations.
Weddings and receptions
The venue describes its indoor and outdoor spaces as suited to a wedding or a reception. Four packages exist, from 5 to 8 hours. The Amethyst package adds a linen backdrop, black or white table linen and uplighting or a two-seater lounge chair. The Platinum package adds a two-color balloon garland, three white pedestals, a two-seater lounge chair, four chafing pans and a wireless microphone. The Ultimate package adds courtyard space or a photo booth, an additional circular or arch backdrop, drapery for the back space, centerpieces, table runners, six chafing pans and a three-color balloon garland. A non-refundable retainer reserves the date, and a refundable security deposit applies to every booking. Bookings on a holiday are charged at a higher rate.
