Benefit Gala — Grand Ballroom
320 at dinner, ten auction tables, and a thrust nobody sits behind.
The Peregrine Hotel & Conference Center · Grand Ballroom · 150′ × 90′, 26′ ceiling

Why it is laid out this way
- The silent auction lines both walls with a 4′ browsing aisle — and breaks where the kitchen and service doors need to open.
- An 8′ × 18′ thrust off the venue’s own stage puts the programme inside the room instead of forty feet upstage.
- Arrival is a sequence between the foyer doors: rope line → check-in → paddles → step and repeat.
