You can work with an outside vendor if you wish to rent specialty linens or other décor to enhance our beautiful rooms.  Due to the historic nature of our building there are some restrictions and guidelines as to how décor can be hung; taping, nailing, pinning or stapling of any items to our walls is prohibited. Your Event Planner will guide you on what is acceptable.

Wine or champagne may be brought in with the payment of a corkage fee.
