Frequently Asked Questions

How many people can the venue accommodate?

We host events of all sizes here at HGH. Our ballroom can comfortably seat 160 with room for dancing. If you’re planning a cocktail style event, the space can accommodate 200+ guests.

Do you host ceremonies?

We love to host ceremonies and they are complementary when you book your reception with us. Additionally, there is no additional cost for rehearsals in the space, as long as it fits into business hours.

Do you have somewhere to get ready?

We are thrilled to offer our Highland Suite for a getting ready room! Flooded with natural light, the suite is a perfect spot for photos, too. Amenities include stylist stations, a bluetooth sound system, coffee bar and lounge. Additional beverage options are available.
(Use of the suite is an additional cost for the day.)

When do I have access to the space on our wedding day?

You are able to get into the space as early as 10:00 am for decorating if you booked an all-day rental. Specifics will also be discussed within your planning meetings.

Can I drop off items before my event?

We’re happy to take items before whenever possible. Ask for more details regarding exactly how you may store your things.

What assistance is included for setup?

Our team will set up our tables, chairs, linens, glassware, dish-ware and flatware according to your floor plan created with our planning team.

Which forms of payment do you accept?

We can accept cash, online bank transfers, checks and credit cards (with a 3.5% processing fee for cards).

Are we allowed to use other caterers other than ones on your preferred list?

Yes, however… we are proud of our catering teams and how well they work in the space, so outside catering will incur an additional fee dependent on the caterer’s needs. Outside caterers must be approved by the Historic German House and all coordination will be through the Historic German House. Caterers must be able to provide a full catering invoice as well as proof of licensure.
