A new 6,000-square-feet event center in Citrus Heights is now welcoming patrons, according to the hall’s owner, Sam Hameed.

The center’s website says the banquet hall boasts indoor seating for up to 300 guests, along with an outdoor patio featuring barbecue facilities and a gazebo.

A single-day rental package includes full décor, chairs, tables, tablecloths and runners, centerpieces, and backdrops. Additionally, the package encompasses set-up, serving staff, bartenders, security personnel, and cleanup, all provided by the venue.

Situated at 7942 Arcadia Drive, opposite the Mitchell Village housing community, the center occupies the former premises of various nightclubs, including Alley Katz, Paradise Beach, and Sand Bar.

According to a previous report by The Sentinel, a usage permit stipulates a 10 p.m. cutoff for music and patio activities, which was approved in a 5-0 vote by the Planning Commission last year. To mitigate noise disturbances, no music or organized events are permitted in the patio area, and doors must remain closed during events. These regulations were implemented due to the close proximity of residential properties in Mitchell Village along Arcadia Drive.

The center’s website showcases a gallery of photos portraying a fully decorated hall, with high ceilings, illuminated wall sconces, and two-story windows. A balcony overlooks the main hall. The second floor features a bridal suite and “beautiful stairs for a bride to come down.”

More information is posted on the center’s website, CitrusTownEventCenter.com.
