Weddings

Happiness, right from the start

Choosing a venue that not only fits your style, but also adapts to your preferences is an essential piece of your wedding. Our beautiful ballroom and garden pavilion is the perfect space to accommodate your special day. We offer two different kinds of wedding packages; Premium or Basic. Our Premium Package is full service, allowing all guests to sit back and enjoy the event. Our Basic Package is more budget-friendly and gives your friends and family a more hands-on role during your special day.
