I'm a Christian, but I am wanting to have an event in a Jewish Banquet Hall. Is that permitted?

If you know the secret handshake.

I think it would be a matter of the hall likely being for kosher use only. That is all silverware, pots and pans, dishes, etc. some being for meat only and some being for dairy only. Therefore I think it's unlikely unless you plan on using a kosher caterer approved by them. You can always ask them.

Banquet halls aren't Jewish. People are. The catering hall might have an issue with the kitchen, though.

If it's a Kosher banquet hall then you will most likely have to use their caterers. Having a Jewish sounding name on the building doesn't automatically make a Kosher banquet hall.
