From the reviews

Beautiful venue! The company I work for had our company Christmas party here and we had the best time. Food was great! I absolutely loved their spring rolls and the building is beautiful. I adore this rustic venue.

We chose the Heritage room for our wedding venue and the Octapas lounge as our caterers. We could not be happier with our choice. Melissa was amazing and attentive. She helped us have an incredible day we will never forget. We had more than enough food for our guests, and it was delicious.

I attended a legislative reception here. The space is just off of Capital Lake with plenty of parking in the vicinity. It was a nice, big space with planty of room for both tables and standing chatting groups. Bar is the back of the space with plenty of room for two bartenders to work at the same time.

★★★★☆ — Troy, Aug 2018

Came here as a performer! Grate venue! as a magician I have performed in a lot of venues and this one was awesome! Definitely would recommend it!

Getting married at The Heritage Room

Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see the ceremony spot at the exact time of day you'd say your vows — a west-facing beach glows at sunset but bakes at noon, and you'll want to feel the wind, watch where the sun sits, and walk the path your guests take across the sand. Second, bring your real questions: the weather backup (where does the ceremony move if it rains or the wind kicks up?), who pulls the beach permit, the sound-ordinance curfew, the catering and bar policy, and exactly what's included — chairs, setup, and teardown on sand are where quotes quietly diverge. Peak beach dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
