Questions? We’re here to help!
Q. Are there any additional fees we should be aware of?
All taxes and fees are included in our price! We have the same prices year-round depending on the day of the week. There are no surprise fees at all! There is a $1,000 refundable security deposit that we will give back to you as long as nothing crazy happens and you have event insurance. If you need extra time in the morning to get ready, or extra time at night to clean up, each hour costs $300. Your party must end at a certain time depending on the day of the week, either 10pm or 11pm, but you may need extra time for your band to breakdown the stage, your florist to retrieve all the flowers, etc. so this is where you would pay an additional amount. 1 hour after the event is over is included in the price for breakdown!
Q. Do you have an All-Inclusive Plan?
Not quite; we like to host weddings that are exactly your own style so we have a list of amazing vendors that you can utilize to create your absolute dream day. We also offer a list of planners/coordinators to help with your planning to make it a one stop shop like an all-inclusive package.
Q. Can we bring our own food?
We have an extensive list of caterers in which to create your own unique menu! Our caterers go from Maudie’s Tex Mex to Mandola’s Italian to BBQ to more formal catering companies. If you have a favorite restaurant that is not on our list you may still be able to use them if you hire an approved staffing company, we want you to have your dreams come true!
Q. Do we have to hire a wedding planner?
We require you to have at least a 6-week coordinator! We have a great list to choose from. This is something you definitely don’t want to skimp out on!
Q. Is there a rain plan for the ceremony?
We have three outdoor ceremony spots to choose from, and one is a covered pavilion! If necessary, you can have the ceremony and reception in the main hall, but we’ve never had to do it before. The pavilion is a great spot for the ceremony even if it’s not raining!
Q. What is your cancelation policy?
If you decide to cancel your wedding, we mark the date as “available” so someone else has the chance to book your date. If the date is not booked, you must fulfill your contractual obligations and pay out the remainder of your invoice, but if someone else books the date you only lose your $1,000 security deposit.
Q. Are tables, linens, chairs, plates, silverware, and glassware provided, or will I have to rent them myself or get them through my caterer?
Tables and chairs are included! You would need to rent your own tableware from your caterer or rental company. Our required bartending service is able to offer you glassware for free!
Q. How many parking spaces are available? Will Uber/Lyft come to the venue?
We have enough parking to accommodate parties under 180 guests. If you have more than that we require you offer a shuttle service (many of the hotels nearby have transportation you can book!). Uber/Lyfts will take you to the venue, but they will not pick you up. We have had people wait over an hour for their ride to get here! We are in a sleepy town so having a prescheduled ride is essential.
Q. Is there onsite lodging?
Although we do not have direct onsite lodging, there are several places to stay just around the corner! We have a list of close accommodations for you (all less than 15 minutes away!), so all you have to do is look at the list to find where you want to stay!
Q. Can we have fireworks or sparklers? What are we not allowed to use?
No sparklers or fireworks are allowed, but we do allow cold sparklers from a few select companies! No confetti, rice, birdseed, ribbons, etc. are allowed. We have weddings almost every day of the weekend and do not have time to pick out the small items from the gravel pathways! If we must, you will be charged a cleanup fee.
Q. What restrictions on decorations do you have?
We have very basic restrictions on décor. No tape on the floors (at all, even gaff tape), no nailing/screwing anything into the walls, no alterations to the venue are allowed! You can bring in bars, signs, florals, rental companies, decorators as long as nothing leaves permanent damage! Candles are allowed inside as long as they are in a votive.
Q. Do we have to use vendors from your list?
You are only required to use vendors from our catering, bar, and planners list. Everything else is completely up to you! We send out a vendor list once you tour, and our planners list once you book.
Q. Are there changing rooms for the bride/groom/wedding party?
Yes! We have a bridal suite inside the reception hall and a separate wedding party suite decked out with a pool table, shuffleboard, arcade games, and mini bar. Everyone can get ready at the venue, and if you don’t want to see your fiancé before the ceremony, there’s no chance to bump into them since they are separate buildings!
Q. Are we allowed to bring in our own food & alcohol while we get ready for the day?
Absolutely! You can bring in whatever snacks and alcohol you like, but just note that once the bartenders arrive you cannot drink anything you brought in for the day, only what they serve.
