Question

Will the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception take place indoors or outdoors?

Answer

Everything will be indoors!

Our venue does have outdoor patio spaces with heat lamps, should you choose to get some fresh air!

After the ceremony, the bride and groom will be taking pictures nearby for about an hour. Guests can head upstairs for cocktail hour in the loft area, where there will be light appetizers and beverages. Our venue has an elevator, in addition to the grand staircase.

Question
