It has an attached outdoor deck with breathtaking views. The Woodland Ballroom features seating for up to 300 and also has an adjacent outdoor deck that overlooks the outdoor swimming pool.

Our enthusiastic staff is comprised of dedicat- ed individuals who bring experience to each and every event. The end result: planners and attendees can feel free to ask for anything at anytime and know that their requests will be handled imme- diately.”
