Good to know
Questions, answered.
Can we hold the ceremony and reception in one place?
Yes — we can flip the room between ceremony and reception, or use separate areas of the building.
Can we use our own vendors?
Absolutely. Bring your planner, florist and caterer; we'll coordinate load-in and timing.
Can family watch online?
Yes — we can stream the ceremony privately so faraway guests can watch live.
How far ahead should we book?
Most events book 4–8 weeks out; larger builds benefit from more lead time. Short-notice dates are possible when the calendar is open.
Is parking available?
Yes — the building has on-site parking, and we'll share arrival details with your guests' info pack.
