How it works.
What to expect, start to finish.
The main hall seats 160 with a dance floor and a stage, the terrace takes 220 standing under string lights, and the bar is ours, with packages priced per guest. Our kitchen serves plated or family-style menus from $185 per guest, and approved caterers are welcome. A venue conversation covers guest count, dates, accessibility, weather plans and supplier arrangements. Capacity, availability, permits, inclusions and contract terms are confirmed in writing before you sign.

The makers, products and standards we reference when we talk about receptions & dining.
The candlelit long-table dinner
We build a reception around proportion and texture: a linen swatch, a charger, low florals and a lighting test. BBJ La Tavola’s rental categories make the tablescape conversation specific without implying supplier arrangements.
- Guest count, table geometry and accessible circulation
- Tabletop preview and written rental inclusions
- Candle permissions, lighting and strike arrangements
Manufacturer and product names belong to their owners and link to official information. No affiliation or authorized-provider status is implied.
Good to know.
Can we bring our own caterer?
Yes, from our approved list or a licensed caterer of your choice; the bar remains ours.
How late can the party go?
Music until midnight indoors and 10 PM on the terrace.
Is there a tasting?
Yes. A tasting for four is included when you book our kitchen.
Questions worth bringing.
- What should I understand about the process and inclusions for receptions & dining?
- How will guest capacity, accessibility, supplier access and a weather backup fit our event?
- Which hire hours, catering arrangements, cancellation terms and additional charges are in the venue agreement?
Before you book.
Every booking starts with a visit. We walk you through everything in person and send a written summary with pricing and dates within two business days. Final details are confirmed when we confirm your date.
