Weddings and receptions
The Empire Room, with its private bar, can serve a drinks reception or a celebration dinner for up to 120 standing guests. The website lists celebrations among the events it hosts but does not describe a ceremony offer, so ask the events team if you need one. The two small rooms work for a rehearsal dinner or a family meal of up to 10.
