440 Elm packages
Classic
100-400 guests
The classic wedding flow including potentially a ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. You're welcome to utilize our grounds to create a flow with different spaces for your guests.
Cocktail-Style
50-500 guests
A cocktail-style wedding reception can be designed as more of a roaming experience that suits people who have already had a destination wedding and want a local reception or the more adventurous couple that doesn't want the traditional sit-down reception. We can design anything from an extended cocktail hour to a multi-space experiential event!
- 2 Hour Extended Cocktail Style Reception
Multi-Event
72-450 guests
Celebrate with multiple events in a flexible format. Made for couples where cultural expectations may include multiple wedding events in a day or across several days. This allows you to put in any required installations, utilize different spaces for different events in the wedding sequence, or otherwise do something creative with a grand private space at your disposal.
Extended Private Dinner
50-125 guests
A rehearsal dinner or dinner-focused wedding reception. The focus is on an extended dining experience where a smaller group really gets to spend a lot of time talking and catching up. This does not fit with a normal wedding timeline. With a multi-course approach, you could have a French or International themed cuisine style that spans 3-4 hours, with wine pairing and a number of other fine dining experience elements.
