    Paella catering
    Bianca B.

    We loved this venue for the EDAWN event last month. They arranged catering with a delicious paella chef and amazing cocktail menu. We loved the outside grounds, we wanted to spend the whole day there. We are definitely considering this venue for future corporate retreats.

    If I were single and wedding venues were women, I'd marry this one. Really, I would. Let me tell you why. Vesta and I had done a few weddings there, when it was the Chism House, and we liked shooting there back then a lot. Plus, the large open tent they used for receptions made for plenty of light, so we didn't have to use a flash during the reception till it got dark. So, I'll admit I might have had a bit of a chip on my shoulder when we got here last weekend to photograph Carlee and Charlie's wedding, but the three people, Casey, Heather and Amanda, who were on site to make sure everything went smoothly, wiped away all of my misgivings. Right off the bat Heather told Charlie and his crew that she had beer in the pool room, which was where the groom and his men were going to get ready. And, she added, that if there was any particular beer or spirit they'd prefer, SHE GET IT for them. That's like rock star treatment. Now for the venue itself. The old Chism house was pretty neat, but the Elm Estate people turned it into something spectacular. Just look at my photos and you'll see I'm telling you true. And where the tent was is now a large building, so okay, we gotta use a flash in there, so it's a good thing we know how to do that. The new building comes with a fully stocked bar and two of the best bartenders we've ever come across at a wedding venue. Actually, they're right up there with the best we've ever encountered in a bar anywhere and Vesta and I are bar people. The main house, which you can rent for the night if you're getting married there, is a dream house. I can't imagine a better place to spend your wedding night. Okay, Versailles maybe, but that's a long way a way. Buckingham Palace too would be good. That's a bit closer than Versailles, but still it's far away. The venue is wonderful and it's right up there at the top as far as wedding venues go, but what puts it over the top is the care and consideration Casey, Heather and Amanda give not only to the Bride and Groom and their crew, but to us too and to all the guests. If you're getting married anywhere in the Pacific Northwest, from Wyoming to California and on up into Canada, you should check out the Elm Estate. Heck, if you're in Paris and can't get Versailles for your wedding, you can come to Reno and get the Elm Estate. Really you could and you'll be glad you made the flight. Reno is great, the Elm Estate is too.

    Darling cottages for rent at The Elm Estate

    What a spectacular venue for any event. I was there tonight for Wine & Whiskey night. Every Wed this summer with 50 % of drinks from 5-6pm. There even was M's mobile hat boutique pop up . Make your own hat with darling accessories. A must see if you can. There is attention to detail everywhere you look. Plus modern darling cottages for rent on the property. You will not be disappointed.

    See all

They were able to work around our needs and time we need it the event. The reponse time was great and almost immediately. If you're looking for a versatile and aesthetically pleasing venue for an event, especially a corporate gathering or retreat, Flow Boutique should be at the top of your list.

The space is an older home just west of downtown. An easy walk. It has a great space for a large dining table for 20 of us and two serving tables. At the back was the kitchen where Reno Recipes prepared the meal. Outback is an amazing fully pavered yard with comfy seating and overhead lighting. Pictures inside show the area set up for outdoor dining. Now that would be a fabulous space for eating al fresca. The space seems great for small to medium sized events. The ones your house is just too small for, yet you want that homey cozy vibe. Street parking in the area is free.

They arrived prepared to be surrounded by heartache and loss, but once there, it helped shift the mood from grief to gratitude. Our friend loved this place, and it felt deeply meaningful to honor her in a setting that reflected her spirit. I want to personally thank Iris, who helped me coordinate. She was so kind, attentive, and accommodating--making sure we had everything we needed and being available throughout the process. Her support made a big difference. The energy of the River School Farm helped our smiles rise above our tears. It truly created a space that felt like community. I cannot recommend this place enough

Close to the Truckee River, tucked in a little pocket of Reno by Mayberry Park, we couldn't have asked for a spot that felt as private and serene. We wanted our day to feel like a slightly fancy-outdoorsy family reunion and knew this spot would be perfect when we visited it in the spring. By the fall, the greenery around the venue had filled in, making the area (and all our photos) extra beautiful. The available space can be set up in many different layouts. The ceremony area easily fit our guest list of 40, with room to spare. Then, it doubled as an area for games and later a bit of casual dancing by just moving a few chairs. We loved having a few different but connected areas for guests to spend time together. The owners were so helpful explaining everything about the venue. Many thanks to both for sharing such a wonderful space that is clearly cared for and kept with much love.

We were in the area and saw the big black widow spider and thought what a large Halloween store. But we were pleasantly mistaken - What used to be a bowling alley has now been repurposed into an absolute wonderland of an experience. It's a full blown kid friendly adult friendly haunted warehouse. My 4 year old son had an absolute blast, it starts of with a bit of trick or treating as your making your way through the adventure, then turns into a full on experience as each and every room has a theme from Jurassic park, aliens, robots, clowns, skeletons, a mirror room that I conveniently banged my head into, all the way to the super psychedelic tunnel. Which leads you to the Macabre mansion - for adults and children too. THEY ARE EXTREMELY ACCOMMODATING- asking how scary you'd like the experience to be. Seeing as my Little guy is 4 we asked for no jump scares. And made it through enjoying every bit of the way. My little guy hugged the zombie, high fives leather face and complimented his chainsaw, noting it looked like it could use some oil, but the blood would do. We had an absolute blast. They are doing a Christmas themed experience as well. The owner has a dream, retired and sunk all of her savings into an experience we can all appreciate. I hope to see them sound for many many more years to come. Do yourself a favor and check them out! You won't be disappointed.

It was a short wait of about 15 minutes before they were able to give us our room info. We booked a larger room with a king bed so our son could have a bit more room to roam. Room was clean, bed was comfy. AC was easy to control. It did have a microwave and mini fridge. Emphasis on the mini for the fridge. Pool was semi heated. The outside temp was in the 60s so the water felt about room temp. Whirlpool was nice and warm. The fitness center has the basic weights and cardio machines. Laundry facilities only had 1 washer and dryer. We had dinner at the bistro located in the lobby area. Basic foods of salads, sandwiches, pizza and burgers. Didn't know they had a kids menu until we had placed our order and one of the workers (the one who didn't assist us) asked the family behind us if they wanted a kids menu. The bistro is only open during certain hours (breakfast and diner mainly. Grab and go snacks and some travel items available at the "market" next to reception.
