Our 3,500-square-foot Great Room is ideal for receptions or larger gatherings, while our 1,800-square-foot Lounge provides a cozy setting for cocktail hours or more intimate moments. Outside, 8,000 square feet of manicured garden and patio offer stunning garden views and endless photo opportunities. Every detail of The Maxwell was designed with your celebration in mind, ensuring each moment feels effortless and every space enhances your experience.
