Your safety is important to us. We will require all event attendees to show proof of vaccination.  The small number of guests will allow for social distancing during the cocktail reception and extra space between tables at dinner.  The venue has installed MERV-13 hospital grade air filters and all venue staff have been vaccinated.  Should we need to cancel the event due to government regulations, we will reschedule for a time when we can gather safely.

Attendance at this one-of-a-kind intimate evening is limited to just 50 guests so please RSVP today!
