Creating an elegant private party in Roy means balancing a sophisticated atmosphere with practical planning. If you're celebrating a milestone birthday, hosting a retirement party, organizing a corporate gathering, or marking an anniversary, you need a venue that delivers refined aesthetics and functional infrastructure. Copper Gables Barn's private party package gives you the elements of elegance required: historic architecture, 20 crystal chandeliers, full venue access for 200 guests, and included setup service.

How to Create Elegance at Your Private Party

Elegant private parties result from venues that provide the right foundation and packages that include essential elements. Here's how Copper Gables Barn helps you create elegance for your Roy celebration.

Start with Historic Architecture and Crystal Lighting

Built in 1915 as the H.L. Wolf Feed & Implement Warehouse, this barn served as the Roy post office starting in 1934, then became the Roy Rodeo dance hall in 1965. Listed on the Washington Historic Register, the two-story structure provides authentic character that establishes an elegant atmosphere before you add decoration.

The 20 crystal chandeliers and 3 wagon wheel lights create refined lighting throughout the 60' by 80' space. All fixtures are fully dimmable, letting you adjust from bright afternoon receptions to softly lit evening gatherings. Crystal chandeliers transform rustic barn architecture into what we call rustic and elegant at the same time. The barn's elegance enhances yours.

Use Multiple Spaces to Create Flow

Your package includes both the lower and upper floors, the 800 square foot covered deck, and the landscaped outdoor courtyard with its antique French fountain, roses, and wisteria. This full venue access lets you create distinct experiences within one event.

Use the lower floor with its grand stone fireplace for arrival and cocktails. The upper floor provides dining or additional gathering space. The covered deck works for outdoor moments. The courtyard creates photo opportunities. Multiple spaces give your 200 guests room to circulate naturally.

Design Around Built-In Elegant Elements

The vintage style bar anchors cocktail service with polish. The built-in bar area provides a central point for beverage service. The large wooden dance floor accommodates entertainment or creates a visual anchor in the space.

The vintage painted buffets display hors d'oeuvres, desserts, or arrangements. The decorative wine barrels position as accent pieces. The stage with lighting supports speeches, toasts, or live entertainment. These permanent features let you invest in upgraded catering, premium bar service, or custom florals rather than basic infrastructure.

Create Elegant Table Settings

Your package includes 16 round tables with white linens, 8 farmhouse tables, banquet tables, and 200 wooden cross-back chairs. The linens and chair style create a polished foundation for elegant table settings.

Round tables with linens seat 10 to 12 each. Farmhouse tables work as display tables or head tables. The wooden cross-back chairs photograph well and provide comfortable, attractive seating.

Simplify with Included Setup and Cleanup

Your private party package includes setup and cleanup service. We arrange tables, position chairs, and handle post-event breakdown. The 10 hour minimum scheduled between 10 am and 11 pm provides substantial time for setup, the event, and transition.
