About

Facilities and Capacity

From the outside, the happy couple and their guests are greeted by a majestic stone-wall structure that features architectural throwbacks to another time and place. Its windows, arched and glinting in the sunlight, provide a romantic touch.

All around, a paved patio area known as the Heritage Courtyard is cobbled together with faintly-colored mauve and green bricks. Here, the wedding party are afforded a beautiful setting for enjoying cocktails or perhaps some al fresco hors d’oeuvres. When this space is set up with chairs and tables, it also provides ample room for an outdoor ceremony. Fairy lights are strewn across the Courtyard to add a touch of light to the scene. In the Heritage Courtyard, a maximum of 220 people can relax and mingle in comfort, meaning you can tailor the space to suit your needs.Of course, it is most ideal for an outdoor ceremony - you and your significant other can make your union official as throngs of loved ones watch on.

Inside the Great Hall, as many as 120 people can be accommodated. The exposed wooden beams, basin-shaped hanging lights, and natural light through the colorful stained-glass windows all combine to create a light and refreshing environment. Tables and chairs can be easily arranged here for the wedding party to mix and mingle. Large enough to accommodate different events with multiple layout options available.

Mary was so amazing! She helped make this a flawless event. She and her crew did a wonderful job of setting up all the decorations, coordinating the evening and running the ceremony like clockwork. This was an enchanting setting and the price was fantastic!
