About Our Facility
The Waterhouse Banquet and Catering Facility in the MAXAM Building offers 3 venues for you to choose from for your private event!
The Warehouse Room
Located on the 2nd floor, “The Warehouse Room” maintains the look and feel that The Waterhouse has become known for since 2003. With its exposed brick walls, hardwood floor, tin tile ceiling, and wood poles, this venue is perfect for a wedding reception, company party, or fundraiser that is looking for a unique banquet atmosphere.
The Ballroom
Located on the 2nd floor, “The Ballroom” is an elegant banquet space that also includes some great bonuses such as an indoor balcony with urban downtown views through the glass atrium and an outdoor balcony with a beautiful view of the Illinois River. This venue is perfect for a wedding reception, company party, or fundraiser that is looking for a traditional banquet atmosphere.
The Broadway Lounge
Located on the 1st floor (below The Warehouse Room), “The Broadway Lounge” is a non-traditional banquet space. While it also has rustic wood floors and brick walls, the multiple levels within this space will make it a unique spot for smaller events. This venue is perfect for a rehearsal dinner, milestone party, class reunion, and theatre/music shows. Home of the Peoria Cabaret Theatre and Howlin' on Water...Dueling Pianos.
