Joseph M. Married on 04/10/2021SO Gorgeous!
We used the Patio as our reception space and honestly, the venue speaks for itself! The ceiling is one of a kind and the space itself made for some awesome pictures. Archmere worked seamlessly with our event planners and allowed us to make our vision come to life. A beautiful space for all occasions!

Courtney L. Married on 10/25/2019Everyone was floored by the space!
This space was absolutely dreamy! If you are looking for a historic and beautiful space for your wedding, this is it! We held our reception here with the cocktail hour outside. My husband and I had a room available upstairs to freshen up and have a private cocktail hour. J. Scott Catering is the exclusive caterer here and they were FABULOUS! Rachel from J. Scott also was our liaison with The Patio which made all the planning so much easier! I highly recommend this place!
