About this venue

Elm & Arbor is an intimate wedding experience designed for couples who believe a wedding can be small without feeling small. Our 880-square-foot Studio & Garden in Schenectady offers a beautifully curated setting for ceremonies, portraits, and intimate celebrations of up to 12 guests. Rooted in Quiet Luxury and Romantic Minimalism, the space is thoughtfully styled with natural textures, soft light, botanical details, and an intentionally intimate atmosphere. Rather than a blank event rental, Elm & Arbor is a finished experience designed to make the wedding day feel meaningful, beautiful, and beautifully simple. For couples seeking a distinctive setting, our Heritage Series extends the Elm & Arbor experience to the historic Stockade Inn, including elevated ceremony experiences with access to the property's accommodations. We specialize in the space between a courthouse elopement and a traditional wedding—an intentionally small celebration that still feels like a wedding.
