Metropolitan Pavilion is a gorgeous event space with multiple floors, lots of creative possibilities, excellently taken-care-of wood flooring, lots of white space, columns and tons of open space which makes events here a pleasure to attend and most likely very easy for users to execute whatever event they are envisioning.
This space is totally suited for a corporate event that required polish and boring aesthetics, an awesome raging dance party/live show which requires snazzy lighting and a cool museum meets abandoned warehouse feel or something right in between.
I've been here for two different events. One was a Guinness Tasting which was flawlessly executed. Tons of free Guinness, regular and imported seasonals? Check. Free cheese, grapes, pretzels and peanuts? Lots o' checks! A "learn how to do a perfect Guinness pour" station? Nope - there were actually TWO of these. Awesomepants.
The other event I attended here (which was last night) was a start-up career fair...but it wasn't your average collegiate-type shin dig, it was like the Coachella/Woodstock/Burning Man/Mardi Gras of career fairs. Indoor skate park? Check. Puppies, champagne, cupcakes? Check. Photo booths, tons of free swag, central biergarten, warm freshly baked cookies, live canvas/oils art installations, bar, corn hole, free food? Multiple checkmarks here kids!
Obviously Metropolitan Pavilion is whatever the event planner/sponsoring company(ies) make of it, but it's a gorgeous space in a decent location that is in proximity to lots of transportation options (1, F, M, C, E and loads of buses like the M20, M4, M5, M6, M14, M23 and probably a few others) and I'm giving them 5 stars for always providing me with a fantastic experience whenever I've had the joy of attending events...

The Perfect Business Marketing Affiliation collaboration allowing Businesses or Individuals to partner with the event freely to promote their involvement making for a Huge and Tremendous turnout, but, the current Public Relations Firm, PKPRNY has been handling the PRESS, Registration, Scheduling, etc... has a lot to be desired! No Personality: The contacts that we established a relationship with have left! Why? Perhaps the growth so quickly has stifled the manners of the Go To People of the PKPRNY! 2013 was the worst internetweek since our involvement! Let's do better PKPRNY "Can't get yesterday back.

Read moreThis place is excellent for your party needs!! It's big, spacious and well thought. they can easily fit hundreds of people at once. The bathrooms are separated from the main room as are the service rooms and the kitchen, assuming they have one. This allows you to get away from the loud noise for a few minutes. I'm not giving an opinion on the food since that was something that we provided. I'm not really sure if they employ the catering personnel or they use a 3rd party, but the service was excellent. Two 👍👍for the security guards. I could easily give 5 stars to this venue, unnfortunately the Hawaiian theme was not up to standards. The bamboo or reed chairs were creaky and weak, and one of the guests had an embarrassment moment when her chair gave up under her weight. However, I find this minimal and...
