Our maximum capacity is 225 guests for plated meals and 200 guests for buffet-style service.

(For the most comfortable experience, we recommend 200 or fewer for plated and 175 or fewer for buffet.)

We do! Something that sets W&S apart is our large, stunning foyer that doubles as a wedding chapel for indoor ceremonies. No room flip is ever required, and it’s full of beautiful photo ops. If you are planning to use our outdoor courtyard for your ceremony and unexpected weather occurs on the day of your event, you have the flexibility to move your ceremony indoors.

Because we only host one event per day, our pricing structure does not change, regardless of whether we host your ceremony or not.

Yes! We want our couples to be able to curate their perfect wedding day! This means the freedom to use any vendor of your choice (excluding bar service providers). We simply require that all vendors hold any required permits, licenses, certifications, and satisfactory insurance. Please note, all caterers’ final invoices will be subject to a 10% venue service fee on food only, and must sign our catering agreement prior to working on-site. Additionally, we have partnered with LiquidMotion for all of our beverage service needs. They offer comprehensive services, from meticulous planning to crafting a personalized bar experience.

Yes, W&S has 93 parking spaces, including 4 accessible spaces, in our lot directly outside of the venue. Street parking is not available. Please plan accordingly - carpool or use a ride share service - and ask your guests to do the same. Overnight parking is allowed, but guests must pick up their vehicles no later than 10am the following morning.

Yes, we will have venue staff available from the time you arrive through the duration of your event. Our staff will be responsible for venue-specific tasks such as: setup and teardown of tables and chairs, answering vendor/guest questions, ensuring cleanliness of the venue, restocking bathrooms, thermostat changes, emergencies, etc. They are not responsible for or involved in décor setup and teardown, executing your timeline, or coordinating your wedding party.

Because we want our couples and their guests to have the very best experience, we do require a professional day-of coordinator to keep your day running smoothly! Your DOC can execute all of your carefully planned details, as well as work closely with our venue staff and your vendors to ensure your day is the best it can be.
