Lightbox is designed to adapt to a wide range of event formats through its three distinct spaces—each offering its own unique atmosphere and functionality. From fully immersive brand moments in the Main Box, to intimate gatherings in the Mezzanine, and stylish receptions in the speakeasy-inspired Cellar, every corner of Lightbox is built to support seamless, high-impact experiences.
Main Box
Lightbox’s signature space features 360-degree projection technology, creating a fully immersive and customizable environment. With a capacity of 140 seated or 200 standing guests, the Main Box is ideal for high-impact presentations, product launches, and dynamic brand storytelling. Amenities include three bathrooms, a vanity area, coat check, and flexible layout options.
Cellar
Accessed via a hidden LED-lit staircase, the Cellar offers a speakeasy-style vibe perfect for receptions, lounges, or post-event gatherings. This lower-level space accommodates up to 80 standing guests and includes a bar, customizable lighting, interactive design potential, two bathrooms, and a VIP green room.
Mezzanine
Overlooking the Main Box, the Mezzanine is a versatile VIP area with space for up to 50 standing guests. It’s ideal for cocktail lounges, retail activations, or product showcases—offering full views of the event below and opportunities for LED lighting and vinyl customization.
