The South Light Court
The South Light Court is a warm, elegant hall with marble floors, wall-to-wall carpet, and soaring 22-foot ceilings beneath the same signature glass ceiling that fills the space with soft, natural light. Its carpeted surfaces create an intimate acoustic quality, making it a favorite for live music and lounge-style receptions.Book a City Hall event spaceCapacities and dimensions

Event space details
The South Light Court occupies the south wing of City Hall's ground floor, accessible from the Rotunda. Its carpeted floors provide excellent acoustics for live music, and the space works particularly well as a lounge area. The space houses immovable museum-like displays.
How it's used
The South Light Court serves as an excellent secondary reception area, especially suitable for larger events. It is the ideal addition to your event rental when your guest count exceeds the capacity of the Rotunda and North Light Court combined.
Exclusions: Not available for one-hour or two-hour weddings. These shorter ceremonies are held in other City Hall spaces.
