When you step inside Gateway Conference Center, you're not just walking into a venue—you’re entering a space designed to support, uplift, and enhance every moment of your event. Whether you're planning a corporate seminar, a nonprofit luncheon, or a wedding reception, one truth holds: the little things make the biggest difference.
That’s exactly why we created Gateway Plus.
Think of it as your behind-the-scenes best friend. Gateway Plus is our curated menu of enhancements—services and amenities that turn a great event into a seamless, standout experience. It’s more than tablecloths and coffee (though we’ve got those, too). It’s about creating a level of service that feels thoughtful, effortless, and above all—elevated.

The Morning Matters
Let’s start with mornings. We’ve all been to early meetings where the only thing on the table was… a table. At Gateway, we believe productivity starts with hospitality.
With our Productive Morning Package, you can greet your attendees with warm breakfast sandwiches, trays of fresh doughnuts, and hot coffee or tea—all professionally presented and ready to fuel the day. From flaky croissants to glazed doughnuts by the dozen, it’s a small detail that sets a tone of care and intention.
Comfort, Style & Seamless Service
Once guests are seated, it’s the look and feel of the room that sets the atmosphere. Do you need to elevate the elegance of a fundraising gala? Hosting a formal reception? We’ve got you covered with Chiavari chair rentals—a timeless, polished choice that adds sophistication at just $5 per chair. We've partnered with other vendors to provide other colors, but those will reflect different pricing.
Paired with our linen rentals in various shapes and sizes, your tables are transformed into cohesive, photo-worthy centerpieces of your event. Setup and breakdown are included, so you never have to lift a finger.

Say Cheese: The Selfie Kiosk
Here’s where it gets fun. Near our lobby, you're about to find a selfie kiosk that brings events to life with photos and boomerangs your guests can instantly text or email to themselves. It’s free to use with our Gateway-branded digital frames, or you can personalize it for just $75 to reflect your company logo, wedding hashtag, or event theme.
It’s a memory-maker and a social media magnet—and it’s just one more way Gateway Plus helps your guests connect and celebrate.
White Glove Touches
Some events call for a little more polish—and Gateway Plus rises to the occasion.
Hosting a gala or plated dinner? Our butler service adds a refined touch with tray-passed hors d’oeuvres, table-side drink refills, and personalized attention for your VIPs.
Need help keeping things tidy throughout the day? Our event porters are the quiet heroes who keep restrooms stocked, trash bins cleared, and everything running smoothly.
And for those multi-phase events—say, a conference that turns into a banquet, or a ceremony that becomes a reception—our room flip service makes the transition flawless. We’ll handle the breakdown, the reset, and the reimagining of your layout so your guests experience a seamless flow from one moment to the next.
When the event is over, our post-event cleanup team steps in to handle everything from sweeping floors to packing up leftover décor. You walk out the door while we take care of the rest.
One Venue. Endless Possibilities.
Gateway Plus isn’t about offering “extras.” It’s about offering excellence. We know every event is different, and that’s why our enhancements are flexible, scalable, and customizable.
Need staging for a keynote speaker? Done. Want to pair morning coffee with table linens and a selfie kiosk? Easy. Not sure what you need yet? Let’s talk.
Let’s Build Something Great Together
