Solarium Wedding & Event Venue

Our indoor Solarium venue is an airy, light-filled room with a cathedral ceiling that can accommodate weddings and events up to 79 guests.

All Season Event Venue - Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter Weddings

This is an all-season venue that will delight your guests no matter the weather.

The Solarium has a spacious wrap-around deck so your event can be both inside and outside in good weather. The deck has a gas fireplace to keep your guests warm on chilly days.

The Solarium is part of the Farmhouse building, which includes ten bed and breakfast guest rooms, keeping you & your guests warm in cozy for winter weddings.

The Victorian’s love of exotic plants led to the fashion of attaching a spacious sun-room onto the house to protect the tropical plants in the winter. Following that tradition, you may find the Solarium housing palms, ferns, and other tropical plants during the cold season. We bring nature indoors for your enjoyment.

Solarium Wedding Package

Talk to our Event Coordinator about the variety of ways that you can incorporate our Solarium into your wedding.

Here are some ideas that we offer for the Solarium.

• Use of the Solarium Venue, Solarium Deck, Wedding Garden Pergola and our grounds for your ceremony and reception

• Tables and chairs for the ceremony & reception

• White or Ivory tablecloths for guest tables

• Anna’s Garden guest room and one additional guest room will be available from 3 PM the day before the wedding until 11 am the morning after the wedding. The two guest rooms may be used as a preparation and dressing room. The wedding party may also stay overnight in these guest rooms, accommodating up to four guests per room. If guests stay overnight, breakfast is included.

• The Inn will be responsible for the set-up and take down of any tables, table cloths, and chairs that the Inn provides. Wedding party will do all additional decorating.

Consider a Solarium Wedding Package that includes the use of our venue for 2 1/2 days to enjoy decorating with your personal touches and style, to hold your wedding and reception, and to spend time with your friends and family, making a memory of a lifetime.

Booking rooms for guests

The Anna’s Garden and Houghtelin’s Hideaway are usually in the Solarium package for two nights to give your and your attendants space to get ready and relax.

If your guests will require overnight accommodations, you may book both the Swan Cottage and/or the ten-room Farmhouse for your guests. Booking additional guest rooms is not required.

Most guests prefer a two-night stay, which we recommend since check-in is at 3 PM and check-out is 11 am. Checking in the day before will give you full access to your guest rooms throughout your preparation and event. If you decide to only stay one-night, there is a single-night surcharge.

If you do not want to pay for all of the rooms for your guests, we will be happy to hold the guest rooms in a block so that your friends and family can book their own rooms directly.

The wedding party must rent all the guest rooms farmhouse if they would like to use the parlor or dining room for wedding functions.
