Why ERIA Marina
Why it works for 150-person events
One hundred and fifty is ERIA Marina's full seated capacity: the maximum theater seating holds, and the point where a standing reception with rounds tables starts to make more sense than a single seated block.
- Theater seating that seats the full 150 guests
- A room sized to hold everyone without overflow seating elsewhere
- A reception format for part of the evening once the seated portion ends
