For wedding organisers, the centre offers space for ceremonies and receptions, with indoor and outdoor ceremony options. It also welcomes corporate meetings and events, family celebrations, reunions, birthday parties, holiday gatherings, showers and quinceañeras. Flexible layouts can accommodate dining, a dance floor, a drinks reception or a meeting set-up, depending on the event. The venue states that social events can host up to 350 people.

In-house catering is available, with menus that can be tailored to the occasion. The centre also offers beverage service and mobile bars, and can provide audiovisual equipment, projectors and screens for presentations or entertainment.
