CSUSM – Event and Conference Services

The Event and Conference Services (ECS) department coordinates events for CSUSM and individuals from the local community. I have worked with them on various on campus events as a client as well as attended their events as a guest they have planned. The ECS team of event planners are always friendly, helpful and can get even get creative when I am putting an event together.
They have huge parking lots, lots of classrooms, and a few larger rooms for banquet style set-​ups. They also have a modern, eco-​friendly venue called the McMahan House with three «breakout» rooms in addition to the Great Room. The entire facility can comfortably host up to 120 people. While it sits «on campus», it is nestled on a small hill overlooking the University track with a view towards the main campus.
They use a variety of outside local food vendors which can assist with different themes, dietary needs and requests. My favorite is Café Catering, as they always have great food at a reasonable price. And from sandwiches to pasta bars to mac and cheese, they always seem to do it right.
There can be some paperwork that you need to get through for your event, but I am guessing that is to be expected when events are handled in a professional manner.
A hidden gem to use for your meetings or events in North County.
