The most common use for the venue. They offer a "Rehearsal Afterglow" package for couples who want to host an intimate dinner and then open the space to more guests for finger foods and cocktails.
A specialty of the house, offering "brunch anytime of day" with wood-fired breakfast items and custom coffee bars.
Ideal for champagne luncheons or ladies' cocktail parties in the upper-level bay view rooms.
Most couples host their ceremony at a nearby park or beach and use Palette for the reception. However, for very small groups, the upper deck or indoor bay-view room can accommodate a brief exchange of vows.
Yes, for private events, there is typically a Food & Beverage (F&B) minimum that varies by season and day of the week.
