PORTLAND, ME -- (Marketwired) -- 03/05/15 -- From inspiration to nuts-and-bolts operations, an event space can determine the success or failure of any gathering. But for those exploring meeting venues in Portland, Maine, the decision on where to host the next conference or reception is an easy one. With more than 1,500 square feet of tech-friendly event space, the Courtyard Portland Downtown/Waterfront facilitates seamless events so that all organizers have to do is manage the RSVP list.
Groups have their choice of three distinct event venues at this Portland, Maine hotel. The Casco Bay Room, for example, boasts 1,200 square feet of space and can accommodate between 22 guests (boardroom setup) and 85 for a reception.
The Western Promenade Boardroom offers 350 square feet of space for 12-person boardroom setups. While the Eastern Promenade Boardroom provides flexible seating for up to 15 in a U-shaped, 18 in a hollow square, or 20 in a theatre arrangement.
Each room feels fresh and modern, thanks to clean lines, natural light and neutral color palettes that favor creams, whites and tans. Such contemporary styling allows for customization during social events and, during meetings, a minimum of distractions. But it's the event space's amenities that really distinguish it from other meeting space in downtown Portland, Maine. In addition to complimentary Wi-Fi access in all three rooms, groups can enjoy state-of-the-art technology, like the 52-inch LCD screens in both boardrooms. The Casco Bay Room, meanwhile, offers a 72-inch smart screen, an 8-by-6-foot projection screen, wireless TV connection and multiple setup options for convenience.
