The dining room seats up to 60 for your ceremony. For outdoor ceremonies: Utilize the front lawn or the large white sandy beach to take advantage of our waterfront location. Inside Chairs provided by Elkins Outside Rental chairs needed

For outdoor ceremonies

We recommend the rental of a tent. Recommended rental companies are listed on the referral page. A tent provides additional dining seating area as well as inclement weather insurance policy. A tent has been used at most weddings held at Elkins Resort. Listed below are the size options for tents: 20’ x 40’ tent – up to 60 people 40’ x 60’ tent – up to 130 people 40’ x 80’ tent – up to 225 people 40’ x 100’ tent – up to 300 people There are few things to keep in mind for outdoor ceremonies. A PA system should be used to allow your guests to hear the vows, entrance and exit music. This can be rented from most rental companies. Your band or DJ will also often have this for your use. If you are planning on using a unity candle, bring a hurricane to shield it from the wind. If the wedding party chooses not to rent a tent, guests attending the outdoor ceremony and/or reception may be subject to inclement weather conditions.
