How can I rent The Mackreth?

The Mackreth rental options are highly customizable. There are three primary ways to rent.

1. The Standard Experience – this rental is perfect for individuals who just want to use the house to throw a party, host a meeting or team strategy session.

2. The Camellia Experience – this rental is ideal for those who want a little more event planning consultation. Everything in The Standard Experience rental is included, you just get a little more help on the event planning side.

3. The Mackreth Experience – this rental is The Mackreth’s version of a turnkey booking. In this experience, individuals work with our event planning team to create a vision, and then we take it from there. You walk in and it’s done for you, and at the end of the night, you go on home remembering the amazing experience you had.

How many cars can park on the property?

The Mackreth comfortably parks 15 cars on-site. Street parking is allowed; however, The Mackreth is in a neighborhood, so we ask that cars parked on the street be respectful of the homes and yards nearby.

Do you host weddings?

The Mackreth is not a wedding venue. BUT it is the perfect place to host the satellite wedding festivities like a welcome party, rehearsal dinner, bridal luncheon, or even a small reception. There are three bedrooms upstairs and would be ideal for family coming into town to celebrate the nuptials or to host the hair and makeup session for the bridal party.

Can I rent the rooms upstairs?

Absolutely. There are three bedrooms and two bathrooms upstairs. Two have queen-size beds and one has a full-size.

You can add an overnight stay to any evening event rental, or you could rent the rooms for a staycation or travel in the area.

The pricing for the rooms upstairs isn’t broken down by room. It is one flat cost for all three rooms.

What types of events or activities do you host?

The short answer is – if you can dream it, we can do it (within reason). But The Mackreth is mostly rented for baby showers, wedding showers, cocktail parties, off-site planning meetings, weekend retreats, commercial photoshoots, headshots, Christmas parties, birthday parties, wine pairing dinners, commercials, and graduation parties.

How many people can you accommodate?

The Mackreth can accommodate up to 65 for a cocktail style event. The dining room can seat up to 20, and the rooms upstairs can sleep up to 6.

So…I like the idea of hosting a dinner party – tell me more.

The Mackreth’s original vision was centered around a dinner party. The owner + founder, Anna Beavon Gravely is a Level II Sommelier and works with a private chef to create curated food and wine pairing experiences that match the energy and tone of your event.

We accommodate a seated meal up to 20, but the dining room table seats up to 12.

Are there any hard and fast rules for the property?

Yes. The Mackreth is a non-smoking property, and we ask that your event follows the noise ordinance rules ending at 11pm. This does not mean your party has to end at 11. This just means any outside component, or loud noises must end before the clock strikes 11. Again, The Mackreth is in a neighborhood. We ask that guests be mindful and respectful of the neighbors nearby the house.
