Outstanding special events location. Can be as simple or ornate as desired – beautiful chandelier lighting. The wedding reception including buffet meal, bar, music & dancing for a couple hundred did not feel crowded. Other areas were not used but included an outdoor wedding Chapel with seating – pretty setting.
