Seating

We recommend a buffet-style, informal dinner for receptions. Otherwise, we recommend trying a mixture of formal seating and high tables.

We have a comfortable seating capacity of up to 50 guests. Sometimes parties can squeeze in a few more seats, with a max. capacity of 60 people when utilizing the high-top tables. This will require some creativity!

Outside Seating

  • 6 five-foot round tables (seats 8 guests each) allowing for chairs and passage. 
  • 3 high-top (3-4 person) tables with bar stools.

 

After dinner, feel free to break down a couple of tables so people have room to dance and mingle.
