Explore Our Grounds
A lush green enclave in downtown Reno, The Elm Estate is a versatile event venue combining rich history, modern elegance, and all-inclusive hospitality.

Exclusive Spaces
The Elm House
The Elm House offers a perfect backdrop for capturing your special moments. This 1880’s farmhouse features whitewashed walls, clean lines, and ornate details to elevate your special day. This historic home is one of Reno’s iconic landmarks. Completely renovated in 2017, we retained several original features as we upgraded the entire guest house to a highly functional and beautiful space. Inside, guests gather in the state-of-the-art kitchen and relax in our lush bridal lounge. Wrapping around the home is a sweeping porch equipped to host a ceremony, outdoor concert, rehearsal dinner, intimate gathering, or outdoor bar.
