Juniper Room

The Juniper Room serves as our main indoor event space. This 2,600-square-foot venue is delicately lit by a grand chandelier that casts a romantic glow throughout the room. It features French doors and windows on all four sides that open, which creates a grand, expansive feel for your indoor reception or ceremony of up to 150 guests.

While the room itself adds to the elegance of any event, we understand that each couple has their own distinct style. Our team will work with you to create a unique design for the tablescapes and surroundings in the Juniper Room that fits your personal wedding aesthetic.
