Thank you for considering Graylyn to host your wedding event! We are looking forward to meeting you and helping you create a timeless and memorable occasion at the Estate. The following information will answer many of the questions you have about your wedding ceremony and reception. Please contact us to discuss your special event in more detail. After booking your wedding at Graylyn, your Special Event Coordinator will be happy to recommend area vendors such as bakers, florists, and musicians.
Securing Graylyn for Your Special Day
After you have made the decision to host your wedding events at Graylyn, notify the Manager of Catering Sales of the number of guests you will guarantee and your space requirements. The space is reserved for 10 days, pending receipt of your signed contract and a non-refundable deposit of 50% of the estimated food and beverage cost (excluding tax & gratuity). Graylyn does not hold space without a contract.
Sleeping Rooms
Graylyn boasts 96 unique and comfortable guestrooms, each different from the next. The estate was once a private home, and the accommodations reflect that history as room sizes, layouts, and décor are all different. Please speak with us if you are interested in securing a block of rooms for your guests.
Guest rooms are subject to availability.
*Please note that Graylyn cannot guarantee specific rooms, but will take your requests into consideration.
