A corporate event? An incentive program? LaGrange has got you covered. It's no secret (or sur- prise!) that The Del'avant Event Center has become the go-to venue for events in LaGrange. With a prime location on Main Street, the historic building that was once a five-and-dime store is now the venue of choice for many events in town. The Kress Ballroom is the main attrac- tion with 4,391 square feet of space and capacity for around 300 people. Exposed brick walls, chandeliers, and beautiful hardwood floors make the setting impres- sive before you even begin to decorate. If you are looking for something a lit- tle more intimate, or are planning a smaller-scale event, then you are in luck. The McLellan Parlor has space for around 120 people, carrying the same charm as the ballroom in closer proxim- ity with your guests. Perhaps one of the best-kept secrets in LaGrange, Del'avant's Rooftop Garden is stunning with trees, a water feature, string lights, and the best view in town. With 2,900 square feet of space, take advantage of the Georgia sunshine and make your event an outdoor soiree. LaGrange is chock-full of history, art, culture and a whole lot of family fun. Once meetings break out conference del- egates are encouraged to explore some of the historic sites, museums and fine eater- ies that make LaGrange the city it is.
