Our average in-season celebration is 50-100 guests. Though we are equipped with event space, parking & public restrooms for much larger events, our standard capacity & pricing is based on 100 guests or fewer. With advanced approval, in season, a Surplus Guest Fee allows for events over 101-to a maximum of 150 guests for additional staffing & wear on the estate, resulting from larger events. We host gatherings as small as 20 guests in the off season.
