Ballroom Buffet
With 19,000 feet of dedicated event space, plus access to more through a newly added skywalk to the Peoria Civic Center, there are many options at the Peoria Marriott Pere Marquette Hotel when it comes to creating the environment you desire for your meeting or event. Here are just some of the options available: the Marquette Ballroom, which can accommodate 650 guests and is divisible by an air wall; the elegant and historic Cotillion Ballroom, which can accommodate 475 guests theater-style; the Bradley Room, which is ideal for more intimate gatherings and can hold up to 45 guests; and the Illinois Room, a smaller room perfect for midrange theater-style gatherings or conferences for 90 or so attendees. Overwhelmed? The hotel has dedicated event staff to help you make the best choices for your meeting.
Catering With Conscience
Muffins, sandwiches, candy bars and individual bags of chips are typical meeting fare. However, there’s no need to derail your employees’ opt-in medical insurance benefits for healthy eating just because you’re at a conference or retreat. The Peoria Marriott Pere Marquette has creative choices for your group, no matter the size, that incorporate fresh ingredients, fruits, veggies and other wholesome foods. Try the signature River City Salad buffet for a sampling of local cheeses, vegetables, homemade dressings and lean meats. You’ll be amazed at how awake everyone is in the 3 p.m. lecture without the carbohydrate crash.
