Here comes the rain again … While for some this is just another rainy day, for the event hosts this can be a major issue. We’ve all heard of events being canceled or postponed due to this type of weather, and considering the weather we have here in Jamaica, we never know when it’s going to rain. The easiest way to ensure your event is not affected by uncertain weather is to host it indoors. Fortunately, there are several indoor venues in Kingston that host indoor events. Here, we recommend our top five options for indoor venues to host events like weddings and birthday parties (in no particular order):
Hotel Terra Nova
Rental: 17 Waterloo Road, Kingston 10
Why we recommend it:
The Terra Nova has several interior spaces perfect for hosting events such as the El Dorado Room, the Pavilion by the pool and the Venetian, where brunch is usually held. They also have special packages for weddings and receptions, so both can be held in the same location and offer a complimentary overnight stay for the bride and groom.
Knutsford Court Hotel
Rental: 85 Chelsea Avenue, Kingston 5
Why we recommend it:
Centrally located with two entrances (one closer to Half Way Tree, the other closer to New Kingston), the Knutsford Court hotel also has our seal of approval for the best indoor event location. Along with the seven individual conference / event rooms available to them, they are known for the Blue Mountain Suite, an upstairs banquet room overlooking the lush garden.
Wyndham Hotel
Rental: 77 Knutsford Boulevard, Kingston 5
Why we recommend it:
Centrally located in the heart of New Kingston, this is also another perfect indoor event venue. The world-renowned Wyndham is known for the quality of its events and even offers planners to assist you. Its grand Independence Ballroom can be divided into six smaller function rooms, all with air conditioning.
The Jamaica Pegagus hotel
Rental: 81 Knutsford Boulevard, Kingston 5
Why we recommend it:
Very close to the Wyndham Hotel, the Jamaica Pegasus is also centrally located for easy access. They have a variety when it comes to choosing indoor locations. Its Grand Jamaica Room, similar to the Wyndham’s Grand Independence Ballroom, can be divided into smaller rooms. They also have one of our favorites, Talk of the Town on the 17th floor, which offers a beautiful view of the city.
Devonshire, Devon House
Rental: 26 Hope Road, Kingston 10
Why we recommend it:
The Devonshire is a beautiful setting surrounding a small garden and pond that can be seen from every room. With the option of staying indoors or moving outdoors, you can enjoy the best of both worlds and not have to worry about how the weather will affect your events. One has the option of renting the entire place or selecting one of the three interconnecting rooms.
The best of all these places? They are all perfect for the Uru Multimedia 45K and 55K packages. So you get a beautiful carefree place at an affordable cost with guaranteed quality. With that, we say, let the rains come.
