    Plan A: Ceremony Outdoors 

    Use our terrace then enjoy cocktails and appetizers. 

    Then retreat inside for dinning and toasts and return to the terrace with a bonfire and string lights. Dance the night away!


    We study the weather a couple days  before and 

    determine Plan A or Plan B  and assist the bride to decide. 


    Plan B: Ceremony Indoors 

    Main level ceremony then we will flip and set up tables, chairs and tablecloths. Cocktails and appetizers lower level the dinner is served. Afterwards the party begins in the lower level and the main level becomes a social quieter place to chat.
