Frequently Asked Questions
We understand that every event is unique. Our FAQ page serves as a valuable reference to help you navigate through the planning process when wondering what questions to ask at a venue.
Here, we've compiled a comprehensive resource to address many of the frequently asked questions we receive. If you have any questions beyond what's covered here, don't hesitate to reach out to our dedicated team who are ready to assist you in creating a memorable and seamless event experience.
What is the capacity of your venue?
We can accommodate up to 250 seated guests in our Legacy Hall and up to 80 seated guests in The Gallery.
What are the available dates and pricing options?
At L'Evate, we offer a variety of pricing options tailored to suit your preferences and needs. Our pricing structure takes into consideration the month, day of the week, and the number of guests you plan to host. This allows us to provide a range of pricing options that can accommodate different budgets and event sizes.
​
Our pricing for venue rentals at L'Evate ranges according to hourly or full day rentals. This flexibility ensures that you can find a pricing option that aligns with your specific requirements and ensures that you get the most out of your event experience.

Do you offer in-house catering or allow outside vendors?
We have an open vendor policy; therefore, you are open to use any event professionals you would like.
What is the retainer to reserve my date?
We require 50% to reserve the date and it is NON-REFUNDABLE; however, it is applied to the total balance.
Can I bring my own alcohol?
Yes. However; all alcoholic beverages must be served by licensed bartenders.
How early can I show up on my event date?
Our opening time is 8:00 am, and the rental period ends at 11:00 pm. Cleanup/Break Down must be completed by 2:00 am. If extra time is needed you may add additional hours with management approval and at a rate of $100 per hour.
Can I decorate the day before?
We often have events on consecutive days so all decoration and clean up must happen on the day of your event. However, if you are interested in booking multiple days, we are happy to work with you!
Can we get ready on site?
Of course! That’s part of the experience. We designed L'Evate with two suites, The Parlor and The Cave, to allow you and your guests to enjoy getting ready the day of the event.
Can we have a rehearsal on site?
Yes we are happy to have your rehearsal on site. As part of your booking, L'Evate allows you a two-hour rehearsal time slot if you so choose, which can be scheduled with us based on venue availability, typically on a weekday leading up to your event. For example, if you have booked a Saturday wedding and there is an event scheduled on Friday, you may choose to rehearse on Thursday or Saturday morning on the day of your event. We find more couples these days are choosing to forgo the rehearsal all together or do a quick run through on the actual wedding day. If you would like to book a rehearsal dinner on site, L'Evate is happy to work with you for an additional fee, based on date availability (see below).
What are our options for rehearsal dinner?
L'Evate holds weddings and events all days of the week, and it is not uncommon for us to have a Friday, Saturday, and Sunday wedding booked in the same weekend. For that reason, if you book a Saturday wedding, we cannot guarantee the venue will be available for a rehearsal dinner on Friday night. This is industry norm. If that date remains unbooked closer to your event date, we are happy to release that date, provide pricing, and allow you the option to book a rehearsal dinner with us. We find this works well for most couples, as the rehearsal dinner typically does not get planned until closer to the wedding.
Do I have to pay extra for table and chair rentals?
No, we handle all that! Tables and chairs are included with your venue rental at L'Evate, and we handle all set up and tear down, in your desired configuration if a layout is submitted two weeks prior to your event date. We are here to help and can provide you a floor plan to plan your layout or you can meet with one of our staff to digitally lay out your floor plan at least a month prior to your event.
Do you have enough parking on site?
Yes! We have a large, well-lit parking lot to accommodate all your guests.
Can I bring decorations and supplies ahead of time?
You can start bringing in decorations and supplies the morning of your event unless you have reserved the day before. L'Evate has events going on other days of the week, and we need to respect the privacy of those events, just as you would want your event to be exclusive. We ask that you clean up and take all your decorations with you after your event concludes.
What kind of cleanup is needed after our event?
We ask that your vendors (catering, bartending, and other services) pick up all trash and debris associated with the event in the event halls and the suites, and on the grounds. Trash and debris can be collected in trash receptacles provided by L'Evate. Prior to departing, the sealed and secured bags can be placed in the onsite dumpster bin located at the end of the parking lot. We also require that you remove and take all personal effects, decorations, leftover food and beverages, etc. at the conclusion of your event. We likely have an event the next day and cannot be responsible for any leftover belongings.
