Situated right off of the Grace Ballroom, the event space accommodates up to 500 guests and provides private, urban space with street access via two large sliding doors. Lined with olive trees and overhead lights, the outdoor venue offers guests a relaxing vibe inspired by the ease of Southern European lifestyle.
