Food & Drink (scratch kitchen)

Locally sourced ingredients, seasonal menus, and award-winning cocktails (fresh fruit & herbs). The team can customize menus for formal plated, family-style, or cocktail-style events and support late-night bites. Ask about food & beverage minimums (they run event promos at times—e.g., discounted September F&B minimums).

Planning Tips

• Right-size the room:
  Swatara (cozy dinners), Curry (intimate parties), Third Floor (receptions up to ~80), Patio (outdoor social).

• Run-of-show:
  Welcome cocktails → dinner → toasts → dessert/late-night → last call (Third Floor or Patio flow works especially well).

• A/V & speeches:
  Confirm mic/speaker needs and screen placement during your walkthrough.

• Photos:
  Use ground-floor stone backdrops, stair landings, and the patio fireplace; plan a 10–15 minute golden-hour window.

• Parking & access:
  Free, on-site, and elevator access for no-step load-ins.

Accessibility & Parking

Elevators and ADA-compliant restrooms on main floors, plus free on-site parking (one of the best setups in town) make arrival simple for all guests and vendors.
