Prior to the ceremony commencing, guests are invited to assemble in a separate marriage waiting area adjacent to the Sheraton Room. The Sheraton Room will accommodate up to 60 guests and is tastefully decorated in tranquil shades of blue and touches of gold.

With comfortably upholstered cherry wood seating and elegant drapery, the scene is further enhanced by fine Monet prints and beautiful silk flower arrangements, adding to the ambience of this lovely setting.
