Ventura Beach Marriott, at 2055 East Harbor Boulevard in Ventura, has 15,000 sq ft of event space, including the 5,936 sq ft San Buenaventura Ballroom for up to 850 guests and the Emma Wood Junior Ballroom. Above the Line provides audio, video, lighting and LED for conferences, galas and weddings across the hotel.
Blocks from the beach, the hotel pairs the San Buenaventura and Emma Wood ballrooms with a run of breakout rooms and a sunlit Mezzanine. We size sound, video and lighting to each room from the hotel's own chart.
Room names, sizes and capacities come from the hotel's Events page at marriott.com. Photos are the hotel's own. Production notes describe a typical Above the Line setup for each space.
The hotel's main ballroom, for receptions of up to 850 and theater seating for 800.
Reception 850 · Theater 800 · Banquet 500 · Schoolroom 360
For an 800-seat general session in the San Buenaventura Ballroom, we set a center stage with two side screens and a lighting wash across the back wall.
The ballroom's five sections, for breakouts and dinners of 50 to 160.
Salon II: Reception 300 · Theater 260 · Banquet 160 · Schoolroom 120
When the ballroom splits into salons, we give each one its own projector, screen and speakers, and check the airwalls for sound bleed.
A second ballroom with natural light, for receptions of up to 300 and dinners of up to 220.
Reception 300 · Theater 250 · Banquet 220 · Schoolroom 120
For a dinner in the Emma Wood Junior Ballroom, we put a screen at each end and pin-spot the centerpieces, with blackout for daytime slides.
Meeting rooms for sessions of up to 100 theater style.
Seaward: Theater 100 · Reception 100 · Banquet 80 · Schoolroom 50
For a 100-seat session in Seaward, we use a single projector and screen, a podium mic and two wireless handhelds.
Five small rooms named for local surf breaks, for breakouts and board meetings.
Each of Faria, Rincon, Solimar: Theater 40 · Conference 25
For a breakout in one of these rooms, we set a display on a stand and a speakerphone, so the room stays clear.
The sunlit Mezzanine above the lobby and the outdoor Courtyard, for receptions of up to 300 and 150.
Mezzanine: Reception 300 · Banquet 180 · Courtyard: Reception 150 · Banquet 100
For a reception on the Mezzanine, we set background music on small speakers and warm uplighting, with a wireless mic for a toast.
