Beyond Weddings

Exclusive use of a restored 1890 stone schoolhouse. A chef-driven menu. Perfect space for 20 to 55 guests.

Ashlar Hosts More Than Weddings

The same things that make Ashlar work for weddings make it work for everything else. Stone walls, a real kitchen, a team that handles the details, and a room sized for people who actually know each other. Corporate retreats, milestone dinners, anniversary celebrations. If your guest list is 20 to 55 and you want the food to be the best part, we should talk.
