Had our wedding here August 11th, 2018. First of all, ALLLLL the staff there is amazing. They made suggestions I wouldn’t have even thought of. It’s a unique place to get married. ...
I highly, highly recommend using Ellis House for any event.

l tent in the back. The grounds are very natural and simply beautiful. Perfect for pictures. Tina, the event coordinator, is wonderful to work with and the rest of the staff and volunteers were so friendly and helpful.

Tina is so flexible and always available to help guide you, suggest vendors, etc. Ellis House was the perfect wedding venue for us!
