How can I find out what dates are available?

Please check our available dates here.

Are we able to schedule a tour?

All tours must be scheduled in advance as we often have guests and events happening. You can schedule your appointment here. Please make sure that when you select the date to tour that it works for all parties needed to make a decision in the booking process as we only do one scheduled tour for perspective couples.

Are we able to come back to the property to do planning?

Yes, once you have booked you will be able to come to our open houses where you can bring your friends, family, caterer etc. for planning. We simply ask that you RSVP so we know who to expect.

You may also bring your photographer and utilize our property for your engagement pictures free of charge on the open house night.

We also will have our Eventables Rental area and Floral Design studio open so that you can check out the items that you may want to use for your wedding.

What options do we have for catering?

You must use a licensed and insured caterer. If we have not worked with your caterer before they will need to fill out an application so that we can do references and our due diligence before they are allowed. If we have worked with your caterer in the past and they are not allowed back we will let you know. We do not receive any kick backs from the vendors as to whether or not we will work with them. We expect our vendors to be timely, professional, provide excellent service, and respect our venue. If we (or our past couples) have had a poor experience with a caterer we want to help you not have the same sort of experience.

Do we have to utilize your bar service?

Yes, no outside beverages (alcohol or non-alcohol) are allowed on the day of the event. We do this because of licensing and insurance. Our bartenders are there as professionals to help make sure your day is a success. NO GLASS CONTAINERS ARE ALLOWED ANYWHERE OUTSIDE.
