The middle area was cleared out for tables and the stage was used by the band (and later the DJ). They had security at the entrance so it felt safer with all those people in there. Also there was an entirely different large party in another part of the center. This place is so huge it could rent out to multiple parties at once!!! So cool. Anyway, it definitely wasn't as pretty as other places which is why it got one less star. I'm not prissy, I promise.
