The elegant ballroom boasts opulent floor-to-ceiling drapes, dazzling chandeliers, a stage fit for the stars, and a gleaming maple floor brought back to life with a satin sheen. Its reputation for captivating annual music showcases draws in not only engaged pairs searching for the perfect wedding spot but also music enthusiasts and a fresh wave of dance enthusiasts.
