How do I reserve my date?
To reserve your date, we require a non-refundable retainer of 50% of the rental and a signed contract. This officially puts you on our calendar, and reserves the date for you.
We generally will send you a contract right after your tour so you have all the information you need to make a choice. We then reserve that date for 3 days to allow you to decide on booking. If you don’t, we’ll release that date for other brides.
Please schedule a tour if you'd like to visit us first to get a feel for the space and amenities.

Our rates listed on our Pricing page show the time ranges available for your booking use.
Please make sure to account for any set-up, decoration time, and the time needed by any vendors you have hired. It is your responsibility to inform your vendors about the available times for their use. If you require more time, you may want to consider renting the space for our all-day option.

Can I offer Alcohol Service?
We allow alcohol to be served only by a licensed and insured bartender.
No outside alcohol is permitted on the premises unless it is served by a licensed bartender.
For events that plan to have alcohol, there is a $300 fee and an increased damage deposit.
Note: This fee does not cover the cost of bartending services or alcohol; it is solely an additional fee for cleaning and staffing our venue.

Do I need to clean up?
Prior to your event, we will ensure that the facility is clean and prepared for your arrival.
You are required to remove all decorations, food, flowers, and personal items (basically everything you or your vendors brought into the venue).
Additionally, you are responsible for disposing of all trash from the floors, tables, kitchen, or any other areas into trash cans or bags so that our staff can empty them at the conclusion of the event. We will handle the rest as part of the cleaning fee.
