Event Spaces
For over a century, the Surrey-Williamson Inn was a private venue known only to the most exclusive visitors. Today, our guests say it’s that same historic intimacy and private prestige that make it an ideal space for their events.
A meeting for 10, a banquet for 50, or a standing reception for 100. No matter the moment, we believe boutique spaces ensure exceptional memories. And while customization is our specialty, one thing remains consistent — careful attention to every detail so you can relax and enjoy the moment.
The Living Room
Like any home, the Surrey’s Living Room is the heart of the inn and one of our most popular spaces for events. Connected to both the South Porch and the Dining Room, it’s often combined with other spaces to allow for mixing and mingling throughout your event.
Features: Antique furniture, fireplace, flexible seating and AV capabilities.
Great for: Seated events for up to 48 guests, standing events (includes other spaces) for up to 100.
