Inn at Elijah McLeans

Set in historic downtown Washington, Elijah McLean’s offers event organisers a distinctive setting for weddings, private celebrations and business gatherings. The property occupies a historic estate overlooking the Missouri River, with grounds that bring together indoor function rooms and outdoor event space. Couples can plan a ceremony or reception in the Edgewater Tent, with river views, or host their gathering in Chandelier Hall, a formal room with high vaulted ceilings and crystal chandeliers.

The venue is suited to more than weddings. Organisers can consider the property for anniversary dinners, birthdays, showers, corporate retreats and other private occasions. Its different spaces provide options for events with varied styles and guest needs, from a dressed-up indoor celebration to an outdoor gathering on the estate grounds. The historic character of the building gives events a sense of place, while the surrounding grounds offer opportunities to welcome guests outdoors and make use of the river outlook.

On-site accommodation is available at the inn, making it easier for wedding parties and visitors to stay close to the event. Guest rooms include practical comforts such as Wi-Fi, a television, a mini-fridge and tea or coffee facilities, with some rooms offering river views. The property also has an on-site restaurant and lounge, which can add to the guest experience during a stay. Together, the event spaces and lodging make the estate a useful option for organisers planning a celebration where guests may appreciate having a place to stay nearby. Event planners can contact the venue to discuss the available spaces and arrangements for their occasion.
