About the Space
Converted from its role as the “Puppet Theater” in the old main library, the Lecture Hall is a beacon of The Jessie’s vintage Mid Century Modern architecture that has been upgraded to handle today’s event expectations, including a 220" LED video wall, recording capabilities, fully integrated Zoom hosting for hybrid meetings, and a catering kitchen for meals and celebrations. With ornate lighting, vintage brick siding and state-of-the-art audio/visual capabilities, the Lecture Hall can host everything from a community conversation to a workshop to a wedding reception.
Hosting your event at The Jessie helps fuel programs and initiatives that strengthen the nonprofit sector and build a more vibrant community.

FAQs
Can I prepare food in the catering kitchen?
The catering kitchen is equipped with two fridges, two hot food holders, two dishwashers, a microwave, and a sink. You are welcome to bring in a hotplate or skillet but nothing that uses an open flame.
Will anyone be available to help me with technology?
If you are not affiliated with a resident organization of The Jessie, technology support services are included in your reservation fee. Information about technology support will be shared during the booking process.
Can I bring in more tables and chairs?
We have limited additional tables and chairs available. To reserve those, please email [insert information] prior to the day of your event. Should you require additional tables or chairs, our event partner at Watermark Events (info@awatermarkevent.com) can help with rentals.
