An incredibly beautiful venue. Kelly was marvelously helpful. We had a wedding reception here and it is truly spectacular. Parking can be tricky, but the space itself is perfection. Gorgeous rooms, plentiful restrooms, an ambience of lush library and Regency area vibe.

It's a giant event space surrounded by an engineering library. Think Ghostbusters.
