The Ivy at Ellis Preserve

Located on the historic Ellis Preserve campus, The Ivy is Finley Catering’s newest wedding venue, blending modern elegance with a refined barn-style aesthetic. Since opening in September 2024, The Ivy has become a sought-after canvas for couples who want their wedding to feel both elevated and deeply personal.

Design that Welcomes, Space that Inspires

From the moment guests step inside, The Ivy harmonizes clean architectural lines with textural warmth. Towering windows flood the interiors with soft daylight, while exposed beams, industrial accents, and striking chandeliers offer contrast and character.

The ballroom’s neutral palette acts as a blank slate — your décor, florals, and lighting choices take center stage without competing with the structure. Off to the side, a mezzanine balcony overlooks the main space, ideal for cocktail hours, vantage points, or lounge areas. Outdoors, the venue offers covered patios and garden-adjacent ceremony zones. Because indoor and outdoor areas sit close together, transitions feel natural and effortless.

Wedding Photography at The Ivy

The Ivy is built for light and structure. Its large windows, clean geometry, and elevated vantage points blend to provide editorial-style backdrops and storytelling depth. The mezzanine, stair details, and window lines help frame sweeping and intimate shots alike. Because the interior is visually restrained, couples’ styles (color, texture, lighting choices) can dominate the narrative without distraction. Outside, garden edges and covered patios provide flexible portrait zones.

In this space, every frame tells a story. Clean lines, open sightlines, and elegant architectural elements enhance both posed portraits and spontaneous moments. The mezzanine and stair details provide elevated viewpoints, while garden-adjacent corners and patios widen your scene palette. In short: The Ivy is versatile, beautiful, and made to be captured.

Set against both structure and nature, your wedding day becomes a visual narrative and the enduring images reflect that intentional design.
