The Grain Store also offers a more intimate space, with seating for up to 50 guests, again with the option of round or long tables.

For drinks, the venue has a no-corkage policy, allowing couples to bring their own champagne, prosecco, beers, wines, and soft drinks for the reception, wedding breakfast, and toast.
