In May, the Claramount hosted its first wedding, a lavish affair for 100. The ceremony took place before guests seated in rows on an outdoor terrace, dinner was at Delphine, and the night led into dancing “in this secret speakeasy space,” as Elyse Cleave, head of brand and development, puts it with a laugh.
“Foundy can open onto Delphine and convert into a dance floor when we need one. Everybody was so surprised, this dance floor appears for dancing after dinner.”
Events and experiences director Lyndsay Richmond notes the Club’s centerpiece, the restored Claramount Inn, lends itself perfectly to more intimate affairs. An elopement package includes an officiant, flowers, photographer, dinner, and accommodations for 8 in beautifully restored suites up a grand curved wood staircase.
Delphine, which under Executive Chef Justin Tse’s direction will offer a continental menu with an Asian influence, can accommodate as many as 100 guests, while Foundry can be booked for smaller weddings of up to 50.
Lots of different configurations are possible across the varied and overlapping spaces of the Claramount Club, notes Ms. Richmond, who was a wedding planner in an earlier career. “This is where I enjoy being,” she smiles.
Full buyout packages are available for all 25 hotel rooms on the property, which span the heritage suites in the original Claramount Inn, the four-bedroom Taylor House, and upscale motel-style lakeside studios, to accommodate 50-60 guests for a party to remember.
