When choosing an event venue, you're looking for more than four walls and a beautiful ballroom. You're looking for convenience, flexibility, and the little details that make your event feel effortless.

That's exactly why we created Gateway Plus.

Gateway Plus is our collection of premium event services and enhancements designed to help every event look better, run smoother, and leave a lasting impression. Whether you're hosting a wedding, corporate meeting, gala, family reunion, holiday party, conference, trade show, birthday celebration, or community event, Gateway Plus gives you access to the services that make planning easier and your event more memorable.

One Venue. More Possibilities.

Every event is different, which is why Gateway Plus lets you customize your experience.

Instead of coordinating multiple vendors for rentals, staffing, décor, and guest services, many of those enhancements are available directly through Gateway Conference Center. It's one more way we simplify the planning process while helping you create an event that reflects your style and vision.

Staging
Marquee letters
Decorative draping

Whether your style is timeless, modern, rustic, or elegant, these enhancements help create an event your guests will remember.

Hospitality That Makes Guests Feel Welcome

Great events aren't just about beautiful spaces—they're about how people feel while they're there.

Gateway Plus offers beverage service, breakfast packages, coffee bars, and professional event servers and wait staff to help provide attentive, welcoming hospitality throughout your event.

Guests also love our interactive Selfie Kiosk, where they can capture unlimited digital photos and boomerangs to remember the occasion long after it ends. Custom event branding is also available, making it a favorite for weddings, fundraisers, and corporate celebrations.
