FAQs
Can we fit more than 70 guests?
The Overlook Amphitheater is thoughtfully designed to comfortably accommodate intimate gatherings. It features two restrooms, along with a full standing shower for added convenience.
Inside the Amphitheater, seating is flexible based on your layout. The theater floor can accommodate around 20 guests while still allowing space for serving areas, a dance floor, cake and gift tables, guest seating, and a head table. The built-in amphitheater seating includes four tiers and can accommodate up to 50 guests, with each tier seating approximately 12–14 people (6–7 on each side).
Are tables & chairs included?
We offer a variety of tables and seating options to accommodate your event both indoors and outdoors. Our inventory includes 48" round tables that seat approximately 6 guests, 6-foot rectangular tables that comfortably seat 6–8 guests, and additional 36" round tables for flexible use throughout your layout.
All tables are plastic folding banquet tables and will require linens for a finished look.
For seating, we provide 70 cushioned indoor chairs, which can be enhanced with chair covers for a more elevated aesthetic, along with 125 white wooden chairs for outdoor use.
Where can we dance?
Depending on your vision, you have the flexibility to enjoy dancing both indoors and outdoors. The Overlook Amphitheater floor can comfortably accommodate up to 70 guests while still allowing space for a dance area alongside guest tables, a cake table, gift table, wedding party table, and serving areas.
If you prefer an outdoor setting, dancing on the patio or lawn is also a beautiful option.
Can we use tables & chairs outside?
Yes, the tables and white wooden chairs may be used outdoors. As part of Closing Service, all items must be returned inside before departure. Please note that the indoor cushioned chairs may not be taken outside for any reason.
Is smoking allowed?
Smoking is not permitted inside any indoor spaces. Guests may smoke in the parking lot and around the fire pit area; however, all cigarette butts must be properly disposed of in the provided receptacles.
Is there an attendant or coordinator on site?
DIY venue rentals do not include any on-site coordination during your event. You are welcome to hire a coordinator or vendors of your choosing to assist.
If you select one of our inclusive elopement or micro wedding packages, a day-of coordinator is included and will be present on-site to manage your event.
Will the tables & chairs be set up?
Table and chair setup is not included with DIY venue rentals.
You are welcome to hire a coordinator or vendors to assist with setup.

Do I have to use your Preferred Vendors?
You are welcome to choose your own vendors; however, we always encourage the use of our Preferred Vendors, as they are vetted and familiar with our venue.
Our elopement and micro wedding packages include a curated selection of vendors, which are not interchangeable.
Please note that any caterers, bartenders, or day-of coordinators not listed on our Preferred Vendor list must provide a Certificate of Insurance (COI) and be pre-approved by the venue manager.
Can I use candles & ballons?
You can use candles as long as they are completely enclosed inside a container to eliminate any possibility of wax spills and fire hazards. We recommend using battery operated candles.
Any balloons used must be completely removed from outside and placed inside a trashcan before departure.
What can I NOT use?
For the protection of our property, riverfront setting, and surrounding wildlife, certain items are not permitted. Please do not use birdseed, rice, confetti, beads, fake flower petals outdoors, or silly spray, as these materials are difficult to clean and can be harmful if ingested by wildlife.
We recommend using bubbles or sparklers as a safe and beautiful alternative. Fireworks, other than handheld sparklers, are not permitted due to the wooded surroundings and fire risk.
To protect our interior spaces, no tape may be applied to the floors, as it can damage the finish.
Any balloons used must be completely removed from outside and placed inside a trashcan before departure.
Can I hang decorations on the wall?
Please do not hang anything on the walls!!
If you must hang things, please use command hooks and only apply them to the window or door moulding - NOT ON THE WALL! These hooks tend to rip sections of paint from the walls.
Can we start a fire?
Yes, you are welcome to enjoy our permanent fire pit, which features a cement structure with built-in seating for your guests.
Please note that you must bring your own firewood and ensure the fire is completely extinguished before departure.
For safety reasons, fires are only permitted in this designated fire pit area and may not be started elsewhere on the property.
