and unforgettable reception experience that bring your Linden Row
Inn wedding together.
Historic Downtown Richmond Wedding
Southern Character in the Heart of the City
Linden Row Inn is a historic boutique hotel and wedding venue at
100 East Franklin Street in downtown Richmond. Its restored
architecture, intimate interiors, Garden Courtyard and guest
accommodations create a distinctive setting for weddings of up
to 125 guests.

romantic backdrop for couples seeking a wedding that feels
connected to Richmond’s history.
Up to 125 Guests

Stay Where You Celebrate

Entertainment for the Complete Wedding Experience
A polished wedding requires more than a reception playlist.
Sarah’s Choice Entertainment plans the music, audio, announcements
and timing for each important part of the celebration.

A dedicated ceremony system supports guest-arrival music,
processional selections, spoken vows, meaningful traditions and
the recessional.
Cocktail Hour
Carefully selected background music maintains the atmosphere as
guests mingle and the wedding party completes photographs.
Reception
Professional introductions, formal-event music, clear
announcements and a personalized dance floor carry the
celebration through the final song.

guests struggling to hear. Sarah’s Choice Entertainment can
provide a separate professional battery-powered ceremony system
that does not require access to venue electrical power.

and other spoken moments while carefully timed music supports
entrances, processionals and the recessional.

policies.

Historic Indoor Event Spaces
Connecting the Courtyard and Board Room
The Garden Courtyard may be combined with the Board Room to
provide additional flexibility for certain events. The exact
guest flow, seating, catering and entertainment layout should be
confirmed directly with Linden Row Inn.

Before Your Wedding
Personalized Music and Timeline Planning
Planning conversations allow us to understand your music,
important people, traditions, reception priorities and the
atmosphere you want to create.
Your Music
Ceremony songs, formal dances, must-play selections and
do-not-play requests help shape a soundtrack that reflects your
relationship.
Your Timeline
Introductions, speeches, dinner events, dances, cake cutting,
open dancing and the final send-off are organized before the
wedding.
Your Atmosphere
Entertainment style, lighting, guest interaction and optional
enhancements are considered together to create one cohesive
experience.
Wedding-Day Teamwork
Timeline and Vendor Coordination
Great receptions depend on communication. Sarah’s Choice
Entertainment works with the Linden Row Inn team, wedding
planner, photographer, videographer, catering team and other
professionals before important events begin.
This helps ensure the necessary people are prepared for
introductions, speeches, dances, cake cutting, surprises and the
final send-off.
- Pre-event timeline review
- Venue-team communication
- Planner and coordinator collaboration
- Photographer and videographer readiness
- Flexible responses to timeline changes
- Clear announcements for guests
Dinner and Reception Service
Coordinating Entertainment Around Catering
Current venue listings identify Groovin’ Gourmets as Linden Row
Inn’s exclusive in-house caterer. Couples should confirm current
catering and bar policies directly with the venue.
Dinner Announcements
The MC can clearly communicate buffet openings, table releases or
other meal instructions according to the catering plan.
Toast Timing
Speeches can be coordinated with dinner service so the caterer,
photographer, videographer and speakers are prepared.
Reception Transitions
Music and announcements help guests transition naturally from
dinner into cake cutting, formal dances and open dancing.
Historic Hotel Accommodations
Keep Your Wedding Guests Close
As a boutique hotel, Linden Row Inn gives couples the option to
host wedding events and accommodate selected guests in one
downtown Richmond location.
On-Site Guest Rooms
Wedding guests can stay near the event spaces, reducing travel
between accommodations and the celebration.
Historic Suites
The inn’s suites provide additional space and historic character
for selected accommodations and wedding-day preparation.
Downtown Location
The Franklin Street location places guests near Richmond dining,
attractions and additional lodging options.
Prepared for Virginia Weather
A Flexible Courtyard Entertainment Plan
Courtyard celebrations should always include a weather plan. Final
equipment placement and alternative event spaces should be
confirmed with the venue and planning team before setup begins.
Courtyard Plan
Audio placement is planned around the selected layout, guest
seating, vendor access, historic architecture and venue-approved
setup schedule.
Indoor Alternative
If weather changes the plan, communication between the venue,
planner and entertainment team helps services transition to the
approved indoor configuration.
Reception Entertainment
Big Dance-Floor Energy in an Intimate Setting
An unforgettable dance floor is not determined by the size of the
wedding. It comes from personalized music, intentional timing and
knowing how to connect with the guests in the room.
Reading the Room
The DJ monitors guest response and adjusts the musical direction
while remaining aligned with your requests and preferences.
Multiple Generations
Intentional programming helps connect different ages and musical
tastes without making the reception feel disconnected.
Personal Moments
Anniversary dances, cultural traditions, surprise performances
and private last dances can be incorporated when planned in
advance.
Lighting and Wedding Enhancements
Enhance the Atmosphere Without Hiding the History
Thoughtful lighting can complement Linden Row Inn’s historic
character while creating a polished reception atmosphere and
memorable visual moments.
Wireless Uplighting
Add color and depth to approved areas with wireless uplighting
selected to complement the architecture and wedding palette.
Intelligent Spotlighting
Spotlighting can draw attention to the first dance, family
dances, speeches and other planned reception highlights.
Dance-Floor Lighting
Compact dance lighting creates movement and energy while
respecting the available space and historic surroundings.
Custom Monogram
A personalized name, initials or wedding design may create a
signature visual element when a suitable projection surface is
approved.
Dancing on a Cloud
This effect should only be considered after written approval from
Linden Row Inn because historic indoor spaces may restrict fog
or atmospheric effects.
Cold-Spark Effects
Cold sparks may be prohibited due to the historic property and
indoor setting. Written venue approval is mandatory before this
enhancement can be included.
Interactive Guest Experiences
More Ways to Remember the Celebration
Interactive entertainment can create meaningful keepsakes while
giving guests another way to participate in the wedding.
Photo Booth
A compact photo booth experience may be added when the final room
layout provides sufficient venue-approved space.
Video Guestbook
Invite family and friends to record personal messages that you
can revisit long after the reception has ended.
Personalized Videos
Custom video elements can add another personal layer when the
selected event space supports the required equipment.
Professional Venue Preparation
Equipment, Access and Historic-Property Policies
Downtown hotels and historic properties can have specific vendor
access, loading, parking, sound, equipment and special-effect
requirements. Final plans must follow Linden Row Inn’s current
policies.
Sarah’s Choice Entertainment reviews the selected event spaces,
timeline and services before the wedding so the appropriate
equipment can be prepared.
