About The Canopy Event Venue

The Canopy is a second-floor event venue in downtown Elmwood, overlooking Central Park. Its 2,080-square-foot Main Hall has exposed brick, chandeliers, a balcony, bridal suite, bar area, and an indoor ceremony option with a transition to reception. The venue also offers The Lounge, an 1888-era space with tin ceilings and park-facing windows, and The Maple Room, a private dining space for smaller celebrations. Couples can hold an outdoor ceremony at Central Park’s gazebo across the street and move to the venue for the reception. The Main Hall accommodates up to 140 guests, The Lounge up to 40, and The Maple Room up to 25. Tables and chairs are included in the documented Main Hall and Lounge arrangements; food options include the Maple Menu for Maple Room events or a licensed, insured outside caterer in any of the three spaces. An optional in-house florist and styling coordinator, preferred décor partner, and staffed coffee bar options are also available. The Elmwood location has an elevator for access to all floors.
