The company where my boyfriend works throw the Christmas party at the Herbst Pavilion this year and I think it was an awesome locale. The building was perfect to host hundreds of people and since we were just one big team plus the plus ones, we did not feel like sardines in a tin, it was simply perfect! I liked everything in the organization, not sure if that was offered by the pavilion organizers, but one of the things that I liked about this locale was the sense of security you get: plenty of doors, also ample front and nice background facing the water. It does not feel industrial at all(as in many other similar buildings), maybe the closeness of the water and the moon light shadow gives that appeal.
