Capacity Note: French’s Point allows more generous proportions for event spaces than typical as compared to industry standard to provide more comfort for our guests. Though we are equipped with parking & public restrooms for as many as 200 guests, our standard capacity & pricing is based on 100 or fewer guests. Surplus Guest Fee applies for events over 101 guests for additional staffing & wear on the estate, resulting from larger events. These events require advanced approval. When our sail cloth tent is available (April – October), we can host events of up to 200 guests comfortably under normal capacity. Contact us for details.
We offer a variety of scenic interior and exterior locations to host your nuptials.
