    How big is the parking lot?

    Are you offering tours?

    Absolutely! The easiest way to schedule a tour is to use the contact form and we will email you a scheduling link so you can book a time that works best for you to come see the venue. At this time, masks are required on the tour and it is very easy to maintain safe, social distances.

    What are your package prices and what is included in the venue rental rate?

    We include most of the things you would typically want in a venue like tables, chairs, lounge furniture, rolling bars, wedding party dressing rooms and flex spaces so you can make your event your own.

    How do I book my wedding date?

    We are happy to hold your wedding date for 3 days from the date you receive our contract. The date becomes booked (yay!) once you return the signed contract and the initial deposit. The initial deposit is 50% and the remaining 50% is due 8 weeks before your event date. If we don’t hear back from you within the 3 days, we will release the hold on the date. 

    Can I choose my own vendors?

    Of course! We want you to be able to make your vision a reality. We provide a list of preferred vendors that are wonderful at what they do, but you are welcome to select your own. Any vendors chosen that are not on the preferred list, must be pre-approved by us prior to your event. 

    Are there any additional fees or service charges?

    We believe in transparency and ease of booking. We do not charge any additional service fees, gratuity OR catering facility fees. There are no fees for using our equipment, for going over a certain number of guests or for using the various areas of the venue. It’s simple and easy. We do offer add-ons should you desire to include additional services, such as extended hours, valet parking, or transportation services.

    When does the rehearsal take place?

    The rehearsal takes place 1-3 days prior to your event based on availability. We will schedule the rehearsal 3-4 months before your event and typically allot 60 minutes. 

    Are there any other events happening during my wedding?

    You have exclusive use of the entire estate during your event. 

    Who is responsible for cleaning after my event?

    We take care of the cleaning after each event and the take down of the tables and chairs that we provide. However, your wedding party is responsible for their own personal belongings and vendors are required to leave their areas as they found them. Any added decor or equipment rentals are your or the appropriate vendors responsibility.

    Is the event space wheelchair-accessible?

    Yes, the entire first floor of the building is wheelchair-accessible, including the restrooms and downstairs dressing room. We also have a drop-off near the building entrance and a private VIP parking area close to the building. Our upstairs balcony and upstairs dressing room areas are not wheelchair-accessible.
