Please note: Our venue is best suited for ceremonies rather than receptions. You will need to arrange your own catering, furniture, and sound system. We don’t provide sit-down or a la carte options but can recommend caterers. The nearby Cable Top Eatery is ideal for receptions and offers a range of catering options.
