Planning tips and capacity caveats
Capacity numbers for rooms and outdoor lawns vary across documents and listings; Keswick’s sales team will provide current, event-specific capacities (tented vs. uncovered, seated vs. cocktail). When planning, confirm whether quoted capacities include a dance floor, staging, band/DJ space and vendor load-in areas.
The property posts seasonal food-and-beverage minimums and a ceremony fee in third‑party wedding documents—confirm current minimums, the ceremony fee, whether a tent is required, and what rentals or vendor services are included or permitted.
- Ask the Wedding Specialist about tent vendor recommendations and detailed floorplans for your guest count.
- Confirm whether included rentals cover your planned layout (head table, gift table, bar locations, AV).
- Verify seasonal F&B minimums and any separate vendor insurance or labor fees before signing a contract.
