Weddings
Planning a winter wedding at McNamara has many perks! For starters, winter months fall under our “off peak” dates. And speaking of dates…McNamara has some open dates in February and March of 2025 in both of our large and small zones: University Hall for < 150 people and Memorial Hall for > 150 people. Book a wedding in either of those two months and receive an additional $500 off your rental package and complimentary sparklers for your reception send-off. Visit Weddings to learn more.
Conferences
Book a conference in July or August and we’ll waive the charges for any of our owned furniture and equipment including pipe & drape and portable whiteboard. We also have some open Fall 2025 dates too with all rooms available, but inquiries come in daily so book a date now!
Throughout the year if you book a 3-day conference, you qualify for a multi-day discount—your third day’s room rental is reduced by 10%.
Galas
McNamara is happy to always offer “fundraiser freebies” to non-profit organizations that book a fundraiser gala with us. These free items include storage and parking at our front entrance among many attractive conveniences. Visit Galas to learn more.
