Planning Your Wedding Reception
The first things to consider when planning your wedding reception are room size and dining options. We have three rooms available for wedding receptions: a large ballroom, which can accommodate 200-1200 people, a banquet hall for groups of up to 180, and a small room for up to 75. If you make use of our catering service and purchase a certain minimum amount in concessions, your room rent is waived! (Restrictions apply.)
To help plan your meal, our full catering service offers a number of delicious menus from which to choose or you may create a unique menu to suit your tastes.
