Most venues weren't built for 300+ guests on a 6-month timeline.
Eastbank was! Setup, teardown, catering, coordination, and 500+ décor pieces — all in-house, all ready when you are.
The reality of a short engagementPlanning 300 guests in 6 months shouldn't feel impossible.
A short engagement with a big guest list is the hardest combination in wedding planning. The venues with enough space are booked. The ones available don't have enough room. And even when you find a space, you're still coordinating a dozen vendors from scratch.
Most couples spend 250+ hours planning a wedding. With a short timeline, that gets compressed into weeks — not months. Something has to give.
Venues built for 150 people asking you to "keep the list tight"
Hunting caterers, coordinators, and décor rentals simultaneously
No day-of support — just you, a timeline, and hope
Out-of-town guests with no nearby hotel options
“Our wedding was a dream. The venue is wonderful, the accommodations make everything run smooth, the bar staff was amazing, and our DOC, Courtney, was an absolute delight. We also did the in-house catering, Zest, and everyone loved it. Highly recommend this place!”

We host open houses monthly because you should experience Eastbank before you commit to anything. Walk the room styled for a real wedding. Sample the exact menu your guests will eat.
Most venues show you an empty room and a brochure. We show you a wedding. For couples on a short timeline, an open house can cut weeks off your decision process.
