Simply arrange for cocktails or mocktails and any appetizers with your caterer and bartender.

Your Reception

 | The dynamic chandelier is a stunning focal point as well as the view through a wall of windows onto evening lights glistening off the building’s water feature below. The Dining Room with its exposed beams and elegant view is beautiful for both daytime and evening events.
