Facilities and Rental Costs


Slife Ballroom - $500.00 per day

The 4300 square foot, column free, ballroom features a classic look with 30 foot high ceilings beautifully painted with a modernistic gold scroll effects overhead, and woodwork of graduated colors from teal to old rose to deep mahogany red. Clear cathedral windows line the north wall bathing the space with natural sunlight or magical moonlight.

The Ballroom features a 60 inch round table seating system accompanied by elegant white linen for banquets. With round tables seating eight guests, the ballroom can accommodate a seating capacity of up to 200 guests for a banquet.

Georgian Lounge and Porch - $200.00 per day

Across the hall from the Ballroom, the Georgian Lounge continues the same warm tones as the Ballroom. The mirrors over the two fireplaces at each end of the room along with the high ceiling and the unique chandeliers make this a great gathering location. A grand piano in the corner makes it easy to add a light musical touch. The lounge and porch can be used for butler served or buffet receptions. Seating space is limited in order to facilitate the mingling of your guests. The Porch adds natural light and a comfortable setting to the more formal lounge area.

Small wedding ceremonies can be held in either the Georgian Lounge or the Slife Ballroom. Additional set up costs for weddings are $100.00 and a service attendant will be present during the rehearsal and ceremony at $80.00 per event.
