How many guests can Allegro accommodate?We feel that 200 is the best wedding size for a wedding at Allegro. Grace Chapel can seat up to 144 guests with a maximum capacity of 180.

Additional seating can be placed in Driscoll Pavilion and/or the back deck of Baker Hall for larger wedding sizes.

All pets must be under continuous control by their owners or handlers at all times. We kindly ask that all waste is picked up immediately and disposed of properly. Damages or excessive messes caused by pets will result in a $250 cleaning fee.
-
Is there a table/chair setup, breakdown, or final cleaning fee?No, we do not charge extra to setup and breakdown tables and chairs. This is part of what sets us apart from a lot of venues. We will take care of all in-house items, including linens that are rented through us and any in-house decor that you rent. There are no final cleaning fees. Your full service caterer will take care of the removal of any trash.

Your coordinator will help you facilitate the bucket of water or sand. Please be sure to communicate directly with your coordinator before your event. We find that the use of 36 inch Wedding Sparklers are the best. We kindly ask that no glitter, rice, or fake petals are used. Confetti larger than 2 inches may be used indoors. Bubbles make for an amazing option and we have bubble guns! If this is something you're interested in, please contact us for pricing.

Your coordinator is there to make sure your wedding day goes as planned and to take care of all the details on your big day. He/she will allow you and your family to enjoy your day. We will have an Allegro staff member at the venue the entire day of your event, but they are not day of coordinators. Please inquire about our In-House Coordination.
-
Can my friend or family member coordinate my wedding/event?As much as we would love for your family member or friend help you coordinate, you will thank us for not allowing this. Family members or friends cannot coordinate your wedding. We want everyone to enjoy your special day, for this reason, we ask that you use a professional coordinator.

The area will be marked and we ask that all guests use the provided ashtrays. There will be a cleaning fee if any butts are found on the property.

We also ask that your final timeline be sent to us no later than 7 days before the wedding/event to prepare and staff accordingly.

If it is not, it will need to be picked up the following business day. Please note that business days vary from week to week.
