Wedding Sizes
We can accommodate weddings and receptions from two (we will provide the witness and officiant) to 72.

If you would like we can provide a space for a small welcoming reception the night before.

You may choose to have your ceremony in Mancha's Herb Garden, among the raised beds of our organic gardens, or on the lawn. Indoors, we can arrange a ceremony in front of the fireplace in the the Lobby and provide seating for up to 70 people.
