With a newly created private entrance, beautifully landscaped gardens, private lobby, private lounge and bar, and all within an exclusive self-contained area of the hotel, our new space is a complete transformation and will make your wedding day even more special.

Our dedicated Wedding Coordinators will guide you through your arrangements from the very first time you contact us, to the moment you take your vows. Every detail is taken care of and they come equipped with lists of recommended suppliers, creative ideas, and years of valuable experience to help make your wedding day everything you could have ever dreamed of and more.
