The kitchenette handles food setup and storage, and the speaker system supports your playlist or DJ setup.

Straight Answers
Booking a birthday party near Columbus — straight answers
How far is Blanco from Powell, Dublin, Hilliard, Gahanna, Grove City and other Columbus suburbs?
Blanco is at 993 Mediterranean Ave in Northland, right at I-71 and I-270, so most Columbus suburbs are 5–30 minutes away by car: north side Worthington 5, Westerville 12, Dublin 14, Powell 17, Lewis Center 18, Delaware 19 minutes; west side Upper Arlington 17, Hilliard 25, Plain City 27; east side New Albany 18, Gahanna 19, Bexley 19, Reynoldsburg 27, Pickerington 36; south side Obetz 28, Grove City 30, Groveport 31, Canal Winchester 35.
Times are typical no-traffic drive estimates from each town center; allow extra time at rush hour.
Free on-site parking for every guest, so out-of-town and suburban guests never pay for a garage or meter.
Because the venue sits on the outerbelt, guests from opposite sides of the metro (for example Powell and Pickerington) can meet in the middle instead of driving downtown.

Yes. Blanco has a fully open vendor policy — bring any caterer, restaurant order, cake baker, DJ, or decorator, and bring your own alcohol with a hired bartender. There is no on-site alcohol service and no vendor markup.
The kitchenette has a refrigerator and microwave for food staging; the venue does not cook on site.
Balloon arches, backdrops, and photo walls are all allowed — the all-white walls and chandeliers are designed to be decorated over.
