This is a beautiful space that you can make your own, it was perfect for the glamourous, fairytale reception that my daughter envisioned! Please don't hesitate to use their in house caterer, Sterling. The head director of catering Megan Lam is a woman you want to work with. She will help you with table layout, menus, she goes the extra mile and has such a kind heart! We had tables set for about 126 people, using the stage for the head table, everyone downstairs with a dance floor ; it was perfectly sized for our crowd! Don't hesitate to look it over, especially if you are using Bella Donna Chapel for ceremony, it’s in the same complex as the chapel, a short walk or drive over.

The professionalism and knowledge of the staff puts everyone at ease from start to finish. The space is absolutely beautiful and we loved having Megan organizing. It was absolutely worth it to book the bridal room for the day; it allowed us to store our things there and get ready as we saw the main floor transform into the rehearsal space.
