About this space

Sanctuary is a Hall in Harmony Hall & Courtyard that retains a traditional chancel and prominent organ façade, creating a formal ceremonial focal point.

Ideal for: Groups seeking a formal, seated ceremony followed by a social reception or a structured presentation in a polished, orderly setting.

What sets it apart: Sanctuary provides direct access to a private patio that serves as an adjacent reception and catering area.

What guests say: The room is supported by prompt, hands-on staff who provide technical assistance and handle setup and cleanup as needed.
