Chartering the Mount

Unless your family numbers around 500 you might be able to make arrangements similar to ours: reserving your own room, drink tickets, etc. We also made the arrangements about a year prior.

Thanks for the info. I contacted the Mount offices and got their rates. Chartering the whole boat was very cost prohibitive to us. We are looking at a function hall or a park now to have the reunion. I have a lot of cheap relatives.

I don't think you have to charter the whole ship. In 2009 we held the ForumFest on the Mount and they gave us a function room at the bottom of the ship that is not open to the public. It was a really nice room except no windows but guests would just go upstairs to enjoy the view or some fresh air. You may want to ask about using just that room.

Here are some pictures of that event. Many of them show the room:
