- Choose an indoor ballroom for weather-proof ceremonies and plated dinners.
- Reserve a terrace space early if you want an outdoor cocktail hour — capacity and availability vary by season and event timing.
- Ask the sales/wedding team about how ballroom divisions affect flow (ceremony → cocktail → seated reception).
