The ceremony room is not large but will seat approximately 26 people comfortably and is tastefully decorated in shades of midnight blue and cream with matching drapery and beech framed upholstered seating. Floral displays and framed prints complement the ceremony room and the presence of a Victorian marble fireplace in the room gives a warm glow to the overall setting.
