The grand sweeping elegance of the main building sets an elegant stage for your celebration.

In fact, the Palace has been featured on We TV’s “Platinum Weddings”, The Style Network’s “Whose Wedding Is it Anyway” and David Tutera’s “My Fair Wedding”. However, what is most meaningful are the consistently favorable reviews from past clients.

Beyond the meticulously kept garden areas, innovative restaurant-style cuisine, and sheer beauty of the architecture, the people who create your event take incredible pride in creating “Exceptional Experiences”.
