The Seaview Boardroom

A Bright, Private Suite For Your Wedding Prep.

Tucked quietly off the lobby of the attached Fairfield Inn & Suites, The Seaview Boardroom is a bright, private sanctuary. While it serves as an executive space, its true value for wedding couples is as a dedicated "Ready Room." With plenty of natural light for photography and built-in technology for music or slideshows, it provides a calm, organized environment for the bridal party to prepare for the big day or for the couple to steal a private moment together away from the main festivities.
