Q. How many guests fit in your venue?
A. We always like to manage potential clients’ expectations. We are a SMALL event venue and that means we have a small space. Please note that the seating will vary based on other items in the space such as tables, chairs, etc. The fire marshall states we have a max 75 person STANDING limit, which means you would not be able to seat this many. We can seat approximately 35-40 people comfortably. Any greater than that is going to be close quarters, however, possible. We highly suggest clients with a guest list larger than 35 people to please visit our space to take a tour before booking to make sure the Cabin fits your needs and expectations for your event
