Spaces
Our property has a variety of spaces to hold your event in. The Silo can accommodate up to 28 people. A smaller group of 18 people fits nicely into our Alcove area off the Dining Room. Combine the Tavern and Restaurant to host up to 100 people. A dinner can begin with cocktails on the patio and move into the Dining Room for a sit-down affair or be more informal with a buffet in the Tavern. We will work with you to assure the spaces chosen are just right for both your group and budget.
Facility Fees/Food & Beverage Minimums
It is important to note that our Tavern and Dining Rooms are open to the public. Should you wish to reserve the any spaces for a private party, an additional fee may be applied to your food and beverage costs. This fee will be determined on time of year, time of day, and duration of the event(s).
Approximate fees to have spaces closed to the public can range from $300 to $5000. A $175 per bartender fee may be charged in addition to all beverage prices
