Adrienne - We have a beautiful Victorian House with a wonderful stair hall
for wedding ceremonies.  We do stand-up weddings for 75 to 80 people.  In
addition we have two wings built on to the house that each have spaces we
can use for receptions and other events which include food and drink.  I
would be happy to send you our rental fees and usage guidelines if you are
interested.  The rental fees we charge account for nearly 25% of our annual
budget.
