The Yorkeen Room

Originally the drawing room of the house with a breathtaking view, this elegant space is dignified by elaborate plaster work moldings in the 18th Century style. The marble-wrapped fireplace provides the focal point to the three inter-connecting reception rooms.

The inlaid hardwood floor extends throughout the reception rooms of the house.

The Yorkeen Room is used for ceremonies, receptions or business meetings.

It can accommodate up to 100 guests seated theatre-style. The room holds 9 round tables, with 6 guests per table, or up to 96 guests seated at 8’ tables set up banquet-style. For larger events, additional guests are seated at the wide archway entrance to the room.

For a sit-down reception, with either buffet or table service, Cecil Green Park can accommodate a maximum of 140 guests.

For a stand-up reception with casual seating, or for a wedding ceremony only, Cecil Green Park can accommodate a maximum of 200 guests.
