At the William Tell Hotel, we want your wedding to reflect your personal style and vision and décor plays a big part in that. To ensure safety and care of our spaces, we ask that all decorations follow a few simple guidelines:

Allowed Decorations

• Floral arrangements, centerpieces, and table décor
• Freestanding arches, mandaps, and ceremonial structures
• Fabrics, draping, and lighting enhancements
• Battery-operated candles and LED elements
• Items That Are Not Permitted
• Open flames (such as real candles without protective enclosure)
• Wall-adhesive products that may damage surfaces (e.g., tape, nails)
• Confetti, glitter, rice, or similar materials that are difficult to clean

Installation & Removal

• All décor setup and teardown must occur within the scheduled event time unless prior arrangements are made with our event team.
• Vendors must comply with hotel safety standards and coordinate with our staff when moving large items or structures.

Our event coordinator will be happy to review your décor plans in advance to make sure everything meets our standards while bringing your vision to life.

If you have questions about specific items, just ask, we’re here to help!
