WASHBURN PAVILION

Guests can sip cocktails alfresco, dine under a protective tent, or stand at the water’s edge and wave to a passing Duck Tour boat. For a perfect outdoor touch, menu options include lobster dinners, clambakes, barbecues, and other summertime selections.
CAPACITY: 350 Reception; 300 Seated

CUSTOM TOURS/ KUSHNER FOR VARIAN MEDICAL SYSTEMS
I hope this email finds you well. I’m going to write formal letters later, but I wanted to thank you for all of your hard work putting together the Varian event on September 21. You did a great job and your on-site team was fantastic. There was never a time where the buffets were running low or the bar lines too long. It was a hugely successful event and we have Wolfgang Puck to thank for that. - Client
