The venue is licensed for wedding ceremonies in two rooms, the Main Hall and the Parlour. The Main Hall with its dramatic architecture and lighting is suitable for up to 100 guests. You’ll have access to the balcony sound system too, allowing you play music of your choice as you walk up the aisle. The Parlour is best for intimate “I dos” surrounded by six guests.
