From the moment you walk through our grand wood doors, our goal is to make sure your wedding day feels like a master class in luxury and ease.
If we could give every couple two pieces of advice for planning their dream day at Merrell Estates, it would be this:
1️⃣ Luxuriate in your morning. It all goes by in a flash - choose a venue where you can spend the whole day relaxing. You have a full day of access to our private salon and spa, complete with steam and dry saunas and individual beauty stations, and our luxury Groom’s Lounge with a pool table and bar.
2️⃣ Trust the in-house culinary elite. Free yourself from the stress of hiring outside catering companies, renting kitchen equipment, and hoping the food arrives hot. Because we’re built-in partners with 81 Hospitality Group, you get access to Chef Clarke Merrell and our award-winning teams from Circa 81, Prime Bistro and more. We craft customized culinary masterpieces on site.
BONUS: building a vendor team from scratch can feel overwhelming. We encourage coordinators to work alongside our team, leaning on the venue’s deeply rooted connections to talented floral designers, entertainers, and rental companies.
