Frequently Asked Questions
VENUE
What types of events do you host?
Weddings are our specialty, but we also host birthday and anniversary parties, bridal and baby showers, quinceañeras, bar and bat mitzvahs, school dances, meetings, rehearsal dinners, celebrations of life, fundraisers, corporate events, and many other occasions.
How many guests can you accommodate?
For a comfortable setup with a dance floor and buffet area, we recommend no more than 150 guests. The venue’s legal capacity is 200 guests.
Can I hold both my ceremony and reception at the venue?
Yes. Ceremonies may be held outdoors in either a waterfront or garden setting. An indoor ceremony option is also available in case of inclement weather.
Can receptions be outside as well?
No. Receptions must be held inside the Clubhouse. Ceremonies and cocktail hours may be held outdoors, and outdoor music is permitted during both.
Do you allow food trucks?
No. Because the venue is in a residential area, food trucks are not permitted due to generator noise, fumes, and related concerns.
