The dinner our in-house chefs prepare is a foodie's delight. With over 60 years combined experience in the culinary arts, our executive chefs Michael Henney and Pete Phillipy produce cuisine for large events as if they are preparing a meal for each guest personally. And choices we offer in our event menus - from appetizers to dessert - are unique, stylish and plentiful.

To that end, our adjacent Priory Hotel offers 42 elegant guest rooms in a historic setting. Newly renovated, the hotel is a converted monastery combining old world charm with modern luxuries including a hotel bar and gym. The verdant hotel courtyard offers a stunning outdoor space for hosting pre-reception cocktails and photo opportunities. Your guests will not need to leave the property!
