The Metcalf Trustee Center is a ninth-floor Boston University event space at One Silber Way. Its trustee ballroom includes crystal chandeliers and an adjacent cocktail lounge with city views; the nearby Kenmore Room can serve as a bridal lounge or smaller gathering space.

Its capacity chart is concrete: 180 for a seated meal with a dance floor, 220 for a seated meal, and 300 for a reception. BU’s wedding page identifies the center as a venue for wedding receptions, so the primary choice is how a dinner-and-dancing plan uses the ballroom and lounge.
