History of The Rotunda: A Triumph of Architectural Excellence

Crafted from Bedford Limestone, The Rotunda stands as a remarkable exemplar of Classic Revival architecture, enhanced by 20th-century Neo-Classicism refinements. Six fluted Doric columns majestically rise nearly two stories above the expansive curved portico.

A meticulously crafted shallow coffered dome, adorned with copper, pays homage to time-honored traditions of quality and craftsmanship.

The exterior’s harmonious ornamentation extends seamlessly through the vestibule and beyond. The Rotunda boasts a 35-foot lobby, exuding refined elegance. The colonnade of stately two-story red marble columns is crowned with intricately detailed gold capitals.

By day, natural light filters through a stunning stained glass skylight, casting its radiance onto the circular coffered dome. As night falls, tiered gold chandeliers, spanning an impressive four feet in width, envelop the space in a gentle ambiance, infusing warmth into every corner.

The Rotunda experience was amazing... The venue was stunning! My niece had a Cinderella theme wedding & the atmosphere, presented it all... I will recommend the Rotunda as a *GREAT* venue to all inquiries looking for that exceptional (Banquet Hall)!

The Rotunda was the first and only venue we looked at for our wedding. It is absolutely gorgeous! The architecture is so beautiful. Our wedding was about 130 people and we didn't even set up tables on the 2nd floor for guests, so there is plenty of room for more guests.

I was there to deliver a wedding cake. The place is really pretty (probably even better at night!) And the staff was so very helpful, organized and really nice people.
