Not only does the Foothills Event Center have a wide-open ballroom-sized space perfect for hosting large crowds, we also have three secluded VIP lounges! These lounges have been used in various creative ways to suit an event’s needs. Every one of our clients has a distinct vision for their event, and we’ll work with you combining your dreams with our ideas and experience in executing stunning and flawless events!
Here are 7 great ideas on how you can best use the Foothills Event Center’s VIP Lounges:
- Photo booth
- Catering
- Conversation area
Provide your guests with a secluded spot to chat and enjoy a couple cocktails together! Our VIP lounges offer maximum comfort for smaller, more intimate conversations. Kick back and relax in a VIP lounge with your friends, and make some new ones as well! - Gaming room
- Auction items
- Kid’s area
- DJ station
Photo booths have been a very popular part of weddings and other events for the past few years! The photo to the left was taken at a fundraising event for a local non-profit organization, the Norah Foundation, held here on New Year’s Eve.
Our VIP lounges are perfect for setting aside a designated area for your guests to get silly! Just set up your photo backdrop and a camera, and put out some fun props, and you’re all set! You can learn more about how to create an entertaining photo booth in our post, “Wedding Booth Photo Ideas.”
Our VIP lounges make excellent areas for your event’s caterers to set up and offer their delectable cuisine! Caterers can make use of the space to put the finishing touches on their food, and then carry it out to the serving area.
Why not have some fun games for guests at your event? Local non-profits such as Grass Valley Rotary, KARE Crisis Nursery, and Deer Creek School have set aside areas for card games at their casino night fundraisers here.
Many Nevada County non-profits have utilized our VIP lounges to separate the items available for auction at their fundraiser. Displaying your silent auction items up for bid in our VIP suites allows you to use our full ballroom for guest seating and entertainment.
Many times, kids get bored and fidgety at events for adults such as weddings. Set aside one of our VIP lounges as a kid’s area, and stock it with coloring books, toys, and other fun kid’s activities.
Give your event’s DJ his or her own designated area for audio and visual equipment in one of the Foothill Event Center’s VIP lounges. A great benefit to putting your DJ in a lounge is that their cords will stay tucked away, so your guests won’t trip over them!
Do you have questions about our VIP lounges? Our experienced and dedicated coordinators are here to help you!
