The Cedar Club

The Rooms

Three rooms. Centuries of character.

The 1908 building sets the scale — intimate, purposeful, built for conversation. Maximum capacity of 200 across all spaces.

The Drawing Room

Capacity: 60 seated dinner

The Drawing Room occupies the original great hall of the 1908 mansion — mahogany paneling, coffered ceiling, and a working fireplace that was installed by the building’s first owner. It seats 60 for a formal dinner. There is no permanent stage or A/V projection; amplified sound is not permitted in this room. The atmosphere is the point.

Notes:

  • Natural light through east-facing windows until approximately 2pm; dimming curtains available
  • No photography permitted
  • Cedar Club Kitchens prepares all food and beverage — menus are bespoke, confirmed with the member host 30 days in advance
  • Service charge of 22% is included; gratuity on the house account

The Garden Terrace

Capacity: 120 standing reception

The Garden Terrace is a walled courtyard at the rear of the mansion — entirely private from the street and neighboring properties. Mature cedar trees provide natural canopy; string lighting is installed year-round. The Terrace is used for cocktail receptions and can be combined with the Drawing Room for a seated dinner following the reception.

Season: May through October for outdoor events; winter bookings available with a heated tent add-on (coordination required in advance).

Note on sound: Discreet background music is permitted on the Terrace; amplified performance is not permitted without prior Board approval.

The Library Suite

Capacity: 24 seated

The Library Suite retains the building’s original collection of reference volumes (approximately 1,200 works, catalogued 1908–1952) and is furnished for executive use. A 75-inch display screen is available for presentations; videoconference capability is available on request.

Best for:

  • Board meetings and executive committee sessions
  • Working dinners for a small group (24 maximum)
  • Private briefings where the atmosphere matters

Cedar Club Kitchens provides light catering (working lunch, pre-dinner appetizers, beverages) for Library Suite bookings. Full dinner service is available for evening bookings of 12+.
