The Portico and connected lawn terraces provide outdoor settings for ceremonies, receptions, cocktail hours, and gatherings. The lower-level Penfold Portico Gallery has restored historic details, skylights, glass-paneled doors, and a rotunda. The Auditorium seats 140 comfortably, with a maximum capacity of 170, and has audiovisual equipment. Ceremony-only rentals include setup, private wedding-party spaces, a rain location for outdoor ceremonies, rehearsal time, and podium and microphone access for indoor ceremonies.
