Common questions

Yes — this is one of our core values. You choose your own caterer, DJ, florist, photographer, bakery, officiant, and every other vendor. We provide the space, tables, chairs, and essentials. The one exception: if alcohol will be served, bar tending through Gracewood is required. We can also recommend trusted local vendors upon request.

Gracewood accommodates up to 200 guests with up to 25 tables and 200 chairs included. The venue spans approximately 5,000 square feet with 100 on-site parking spots.

Our live calendar shows dates that are available (green), booked (confirmed events), or on hold (pending deposits). Available dates can be clicked to start an inquiry. The calendar is updated regularly, but all dates are subject to confirmation when you inquire.

A hold means a date has a pending deposit or soft reservation. It may become available if the booking doesn't finalize. If you're interested in a held date, feel free to inquire — we'll let you know the status.

Wedding packages include 9am – 11pm access, with the reception ending by 10pm. This covers setup, optional ceremony, reception, and cleanup. Additional hours can be added at $250/hour. Social and corporate events run 10am – 8pm maximum.

See our pricing page for full details.
