​

HOW MANY EVENTS DO YOU HOST IN A DAY?

We only host one event per day.  Our goal is to make the space feel like an extension of your home on the big day.  We never allow tours during events.  The only exception to this is Friday rentals.  A rehearsal may take place in the ceremony building AFTER your event only.  These are supervised by our team to protect your belongings and we do try to avoid this when possible.

​

CAN WE BOOK IN PERSON?

Absolutely!  We host all of our contracts and invoices via an only client portal so you have time to review the details, but we are happy to set you up on site if you prefer.

 

WILL THERE BE STAFF PRESENT DURING OUR EVENT?

Our standard venue rentals include a venue coordinator only.  That person is there to be a point of contact for the vendors to communicate with as well as assisting you get down the aisle.  The venue coordinator will also work with you to create a floorplan that works within our space. If you are a fully inclusive package, we do supply a day of coordinator along with your planner to create a smooth and stress free day.

​

DO YOU REQUIRE A DAY OF COORDINATOR?

While we do not require it, we highly suggest it for a better experience for you!  We have several day of coordinators we work with we are happy to recommend.  They are also required to have liability insurance just like all of our vendors.

​

DO YOU REQUIRE EVENT INSURANCE?

While it is not required, it is HIGHLY recommended.  Event insurance covers you for a myriad of potential issues.

​

We do require the contract be signed and a non-refundable retainer of 25% of the rental fee to reserve your date.

​

HOW DO I SCHEDULE A PRIVATE TOUR?

Please use the contact us form to submit an inquiry.  Our team will respond within 24 hours (or the next business day) to schedule a tour and provide more information.  Please note, we often do not respond to inquiries Friday-Sunday due to active events.
