Yes! We do host rehearsals on-site, however a rehearsal dinner would take place elsewhere. We typically schedule your rehearsal 4-5 months prior to wedding day.

Yes! We allow dogs/animals as part of an outdoor/tented ceremony only. We do not allow any dogs/animals in the building except for service dogs.

Our umbrella insurance is a no-brainer! Choose this option and be assured that if it slightly sprinkles, all guests will receive a rental clear dome umbrella to cover them just in case. Otherwise, we offer the option to make the final call 24 – 48 hours before your wedding to move the ceremony into our Grand Ballroom.

No, we do not allow any outside food or beverage. We have a dedicated chef with over 10 years of experience that prepares and cooks all food items right on site! We have carefully designed our menu to cater to different styles, needs and wants. We also proudly accommodate allergies.

The final wedding balance is due at the time of your final meeting which is approximately 3-4 weeks prior to your wedding date. All payment amounts will be discussed prior to your contract signing.
