Unfortunately no. Since the Kraras Hall is part of a church, we are only able to host wedding receptions.
Kraras Hall is part of Sts. Constantine and Helen, and is located on the lower level of the church.
Kraras Hall can accommodate up to 250 guests with a dance floor, and up to 300 guests without a dance floor.
As long as there are no other events scheduled that day, you are welcome to use the hall the entire day. The event must end by 10:00pm and the hall be cleaned up and vacated by 11:00pm unless other arrangements have been agreed upon.
The hall is typically available as early as 9am in the morning. As long as no other event is scheduled, you are also welcome to start setting up the day before from 9am-5pm.
