Holiday Event Space & Catering

The holidays are here! After a long hot summer and a shortfall, we’re moving into the chilly festive time of the year, a time which for most folks features events and parties galore. While this can be a lot of fun and good cheer does abound, it can also be a bit hectic, maybe even stressful. Planning the office holiday extravaganza, a smaller gathering for friends, or even your own family’s celebration can take up a lot of time and energy. Let’s face it, most of us lead busy lives anyway, and adding more stress to a supposedly happy time of the year takes away from the fun.

What if there were a better way?
Imagine with us, if you will, a space perfectly suited for your holiday gathering needs. Something close enough to be accessible but private enough to be peaceful. A space that is both friendly and welcoming that nevertheless offered every convenience. Versatile spaces equally able to host either a warm family gathering or a high-end corporate luncheon. A space that allows you to relax and enjoy the event, rather than worrying about what’s in the oven.
