Ceremony Spaces

If you are interested in having both your ceremony and reception here, the best thing to do is just add the Ceremony Package to any of our rentals! This includes: chairs set up in the chosen location, a dressing room for the bride and a dressing room for the groom. Below are the ceremony locations you can choose from! This is an ideal choice because guests won’t have to drive from ceremony to reception, and they can enjoy the splendor of the Center and the grounds as they go from ceremony to reception!
