Most weddings at Establishment Bar kick off with a ceremony in the garden, a space that feels like your own private oasis courtyard that's been around for ages.

A wedding ceremony here is always going to feel completely unique a beautiful mix of old and new. During cocktail hour, your guests might meander between the garden and the ballroom, stopping for craft cocktails at the impressive marble bar before heading into the ballroom for dinner. In the ballroom, white cast-iron pillars and ornate ceiling details set a dramatic, sophisticated tone while your custom wedding styling by the in-house florists and event producers completes the space. Following dinner, head back out to the garden for dancing while your band kicks into party mode. End the night with a stay in the luxury boutique hotel just upstairs, which features a range of spacious suites, including a couple of penthouse rooms.
