The Undercroft (Lower Level)

An Elegant Beginning to Your Celebration…

Guests enter through a welcoming main entry where two worlds meet—historic Gothic character and contemporary sophistication. Warm hardwood floors, plaster walls, and glowing gold chandeliers instantly set the tone, creating an atmosphere that feels both inviting and unforgettable.

The Undercroft serves as the foundation of your event experience and is ideal for cocktail hour or gathering moments throughout the day. The main meeting space is beautifully appointed yet intentionally neutral, allowing your personal style, florals, and décor to take center stage.

This level also features artfully designed restrooms—elevated, stylish, and worthy of the best bathroom selfies—as well as two private dressing suites designed to make getting ready feel just as special as the celebration itself.

The Bridal Suite is layered with texture and warmth, featuring Persian rugs, curated artwork, gold chandeliers, mirrors, and makeup stations for a picture-perfect start to the day. The Groom’s Suite evokes the feel of an old-world gentleman’s club—a refined, masculine space created for dapper moments and meaningful toasts.

The Upper Gallery (Upper Level)

The Moment Everyone Will Remember…

When it’s time for the main event, guests ascend one of two grand curved staircases (the East Stair features a Lift), building anticipation with every step. At the top awaits The Upper Gallery—the undeniable heart of The Royce and the space destined to leave a lasting impression.

With soaring 42-foot ceilings, twelve original stained glass windows standing over 20 feet tall, and preserved organ pipes enhanced with dramatic new lighting, this space is nothing short of breathtaking. It’s architectural, luminous, and designed to delight from every angle.

The layout allows for exceptional flexibility, including stylish banquet seating along the perimeter beneath the stained glass windows—making it easy to mix round and rectangular tables for added visual interest. No matter where your guests are seated, they’ll always have a clear view of both the stunning architecture and the celebration unfolding around them.
