The Betina Room is located upstairs and is accessible by a private elevator for convenience. Separated from the rest of the establishment and equipped with a private restroom, it is a quiet space where the wedding party and immediate family can gather and prepare for the ceremony and reception. As such, it can be used alone for a small, intimate wedding or in addition to other venues at The Sanctuary.
The first floor of The Sanctuary houses a spacious dance floor and large stage. The couple can utilize the stage for toasts, speeches and live music.
The second floor of The Sanctuary overlooks the first by way of a lovely balcony railing. This second floor is a great spot for photos or simply extra seating to accommodate larger parties. It offers a plain view of the stage and dance floor, so guests who are seated there do not feel isolated.

Ballroom
This was the most perfect venue for our ~100 guest reception. The food is done by Rick's Chophouse (Sterling Events) and everyone raved about how delicious everything was... Not just good for "wedding food", but simply great, period. More importantly, my family said the food was... Read More hot when it came out, which is not always what you get at a wedding. The staff is amazing and so helpful. I didn't worry about a thing. My guests were stunned how beautiful this location is. It was SO close to our ceremony venue (Bella Donna) and was the exact right look & feel for our Italian inspired wedding. We couldn't be happier! ~Deborah & Greg, 9/24/16
Took a tour of this place for my son. Beautiful place for a wedding but kind of small and cramped. Parking seems tight too.. I would say if you have parties 100 or less then your fine. A bit over priced for such a small venue
