The Hall is a very nice reception venue: it has a large dining room that adjoins a glassed porch, and there's a sitting room down a short hallway that creates a private "escape" room for the bridal party - which is also handy for checking makeup, clothing, etc.
Fairfax Hall is also a city-run facility offering affordable housing for seniors. The blend of services is in no way a problem since the reception area is separate from the rest of the building, and residents we met were very friendly and gracious; they seemed to enjoy all the activity. Keep in mind that the venue offers room set-up, but does not offer catering or other services - you'll have to contract those on your own.
The BlackBird Images photographers had plenty of room to work in and a number of pretty building and scenery elements to incorporate into what turned out to be great photographs of an really nice bride and groom.
