Ceremony & Reception Spaces
The ballroom is the main event space and accommodates up to 120 guests seated. The venue recommends around 60 guests for the ideal layout, particularly for long banquet table setups. The minimum wedding size is approximately 30 guests.
The space includes marble flooring, pillars and high ceilings. It was originally a conservatory dating back to the 15th century. The built-in stage can be removed if required, and lighting and a projector screen are available.
Symbolic ceremonies can take place in the ballroom. If both the ceremony and reception are held in the same space, the hotel requires approximately two to three hours for turnaround.
The foyer connects directly to the ballroom and is typically used for welcome drinks. The layout is fixed, as furniture cannot be moved and pillars can affect space at higher guest numbers.
The garden courtyard accommodates up to 100 guests and is often used for drinks receptions, summer ceremonies or brunch events. DJs are not permitted in this space, and events finish at 11pm.
A rooftop terrace is also available, hosting up to 80 guests standing or 40 seated. A DJ is permitted here, although the space also closes at 11pm. Due to lift access, the main celebration is usually held on the ground floor.
Music inside the venue is permitted until approximately 11.00-11.30pm, with service ending at 11.30pm and guest departure by midnight.
Food & Guest Experience
All catering is managed in-house and overseen by the executive chef, with a dedicated pastry chef preparing wedding cakes.
Couples can bring in their own suppliers for décor and production. Installations must be freestanding, as hanging elements and draping are not allowed.
Recommended suppliers are available, and external planners are welcome.
A boardroom within the hotel can be used as a preparation space if required.
