FOR FUEL BEFORE THE FESTIVITY

La Saison Bakery

For smaller weddings, the Park Room, furnished with plush velvet seating and vibrant florals, is ideal for ceremonies, dinners, or cocktail receptions of up to 40 guests. The Rose Room, equally stylish and equipped with its own bar, lends itself beautifully to rehearsal dinners or smaller receptions.
