About

The elegantly appointed Ballroom provides the perfect backdrop for any special occasion. The Ballroom boasts a 40-foot ceiling supported by four Greek columns and accented by five grand chandeliers. Period antiques and reproductions, including Chippendale-style chairs and camel back loveseats, surround the central oak dance floor. The two working fireplaces, each enhanced by a 10-foot gilded mirror, are prominent features in the Ballroom. Silk draperies grace 20-foot windows that offer additional illumination for daytime events. Soft yellow walls and exquisite architectural details throughout the room provide the finishing touches to this distinguished setting. Entrance to the Ballroom is through a dramatic foyer highlighted by a black and white marble floor. Furnishings in the foyer include wingback chairs, Hepplewhite tables, and lacquered Chinese screens. On display in the foyer are historic photographs of the McLean family and the original mansion. For entertaining during any season, the Ballroom offers an exceptional combination of history and beauty to enhance your event. During the holiday season the charm of this lovely setting is accentuated by decorative greens and candles reminiscent of a Colonial Williamsburg Christmas. The maximum capacity for the Ballroom is 350 guests. For a seated event, 150 guests can be accommodated comfortably. A seated buffet event can seat up to 110 guests, and a stand-up cocktail event with multiple food stations can accommodate 160-3
