Think You Know Element? Let’s Clear a Few Things Up!

Every week, we hear questions like:

“Do you only host weddings?”

“Can I bring my own décor?”

“Is Element big enough for my event?”

So, we’re here to set the record straight! Element Event Space in Watertown, South Dakota, was designed to be a blank canvas: a space that adapts to you, your style, and your celebration.

Whether you’re planning an intimate baby shower, a corporate holiday party, or a creative workshop, Element can transform into whatever you need it to be.

Let’s bust a few myths together 👇

Myth 1: Element is only for weddings.

Truth: Not even close!

While we love a good wedding celebration, Element hosts all kinds of events throughout the year:

Birthday parties and bridal showers
Corporate meetings and team-building events
Seasonal workshops and classes
Styled shoots and creative sessions
Vendor pop-ups and small markets

Our flexible layout makes it easy to reimagine the space for any occasion, big or small.

Myth 2: You have to decorate everything yourself.

Truth: You can, but you don’t have to.

Element is the perfect backdrop whether you want to bring your Pinterest board to life or keep it simple with minimal décor. We also partner with a variety of preferred local vendors who specialize in floral design, catering, rentals, and charcuterie, so you can build your dream event without the stress.

Myth 3: The space is too small for my event.

Truth: No! You’d be surprised how much fits comfortably inside.

Our venue was designed for flexibility, not just size. We’ve hosted everything from small business meetings with 5 guests to private parties with more than 70. Want to make the most of the layout? We’ll help you plan seating, tables, and flow so your event feels just right, never cramped or empty.

Myth 4: The holidays are already booked.

Truth: Some dates are filling up, but there’s still time!

It’s true, our calendar gets busy, especially around spring/graduation, but don’t let that stop you from checking! We still have openings for holiday parties, friendsgivings, end-of-year celebrations, and yes, there might even be a couple of prime dates left for 2026 graduation!
