This eliminates guest travel time between venues and creates a streamlined day-of experience. Details about specific room configurations and outdoor ceremony areas can be confirmed directly with the school's events team.

Is the venue good for wedding photography?

The Roxbury location offers urban texture and neighborhood character that adds authenticity to photos for couples who appreciate modern and documentary-style aesthetics.
