Yes, we have a Bridal suite for the Bride and her party with access to the screened porch to relax, be pampered and get ready for her day.

 

Can we have a wedding rehearsal?

Yes, the night before you will have access to the venue for 1 hour the day before your wedding. You may arrive 30 minutes early to bring all decorations needed for the day of your wedding.

 

Can we have a dinner or finger foods at the rehearsal?

No, we ask that you please only drop off decorations and hold the rehearsal at the venue. We spend a lot of time getting the venue ready for the day of your wedding and try to keep it as clean as possible at the time of rehearsal.

 

Who is responsible for setting up and cleaning up?

We have a general setup of tables and chairs but the placements of gift table, sign in and others are set to your preference. Our wedding coordinator, or you, your family or bridal party, should assist in how you would like them set up and to decorate according to your ideas/plans. We will assist in setting up according to your ideas, and we will assist in breakdown and cleaning up at the end of the night.

 

If we bring our own decorations, are we responsible for setting up and tearing down?

The nice thing about our venue, is that we do it all for you! You will only need to drop it off, discuss your vision with our Coordinator Kassie, and then after the wedding be prepared to load it in the appropriate vehicles. We do ask that anything that needs to be put together (ie rolled silverware, etc) please be done before the wedding day. 

 

Do you accept decorations if we don't want to keep them after the wedding?

Absolutely! It just depends on the decorations and what we have on hand already. When you do a tour, make sure to discuss your vision so we can let you know what we already have to help save you money and the hassle of bringing extra items.

 

Do you have a smoking policy?

To be considerate of all guests and staff, we have designated smoking areas with places for the cigarette butts to eliminate possibility of fires and cleanup.
