Wedding Package FAQ
What wedding sizes can you accommodate?Ìý
Our minimum guest count is 70 people. We can accommodate up to 130 guests with a ceremony in the chapel, or up to 165 with a ceremony in the dining room.Ìý
What tech equipment do you have?Ìý
We can provide mics, a soundboard and speakers. We do need to have a Grebel tech-trained coordinator to run this equipment, which is included in your package. If you have any questions about additional tech requirements, please speak to Laura.Ìý
Ìý
Can I put decorations up?Ìý
Of course! You can put decorations up the morning of your wedding. We just ask that you clear the decorations by the evening of the wedding or by 12pm the next day. Ìý
Ìý
I understand you are a student residence and academic building. Will students be staying during wedding dates? How is this coordinated?Ìý
That’s right! We have a student residence and academic program. While we cannot guarantee that you won’t see students, we have planned our availability and dates strategically in slower seasons. We also make sure that students are aware of your wedding and to avoid rooms and areas you’ll be using. If there are students needing dinner, they will not be using the Dining Room. We will serve them in another location at Grebel, away from the festivities.ÌýÌý
What dates are available?Ìý
Most of our availability is in the summer, but we do have selected fall and winter dates available. Contact Laura to find out more.
