- MMark Stenabaugh16/08/2024Elegant Venue with Stunning Grand BallroomElegant Venue with Stunning Grand BallroomA beautiful facility for weddings or other special events or fund raising galas. If you're planning an event I would certainly check this venue out. Very ornate and rich looking - loved the mezzanine in what I would call the grand ballroom that is complete with a stage. A perfect site for concerts or recitals. Several stately smaller rooms which can be used for a variety of smaller type events Stairs are a bit steep, but thankfully there is an elevator (no elevator to the mezzanine).A beautiful facility for weddings or other special events or fund raising galas.
