The Rotunda offers a breathtaking marble staircase that is the focal point of any event. It has been restored to its original magnificence, and allows your event to be configured in a variety of ways. The landings on the Grand Staircase make natural "stages" for musicians, speakers or brides. The balconies that surround the room on the upper two floors allow your guests to dine or survey the events below. Ornate carvings and the interior of the spectacular dome can be seen from every angle. At night, the Rotunda is awash with soft white lighting that accents the architectural carvings throughout the space. Capacity for this room ranges from 642 for seated dinners to 1,240 for standing receptions. A rental of the Rotunda also includes the use of two other beautiful spaces - the North and South Courts.
