Is a security deposit required? Yes.  $1000 is paid and returned to you within seven days after the wedding provided no additional services or property damage has occurred.  In certain circumstances the security deposit required will be more depending on what additional items or services are being added to the event or your guest list approaches our maximum capacity.

What about liability insurance?  The venue has an insurance policy protecting it against liability issues, and vendors carry their own liability insurance.  It is recommended that you get a wedding insurance policy.  They are relatively inexpensive and not only cover any liability you may incur, but also cover things like being rained out, having to cancel due to illness, florist not showing up, and a host of other wedding related mishaps.  The most popular of these companies is Wedsafe.  The website is www.wedsafe.com. (Our couples have never had to use this insurance, thankfully, but it does offer peace of mind).

What are the payment options?  You may pay with personal checks, cashier checks, etc.  We also offer PayPal. If you choose to use this option, the fees charged to us by PayPal are added to the cost of your event.  Click payment options for more info.

Can we use an outside caterer?  You won’t need to!  The package includes the catering and the wedding cake.  Our caterer provides excellent meals, impeccable service and our couples have been enjoying their terrific food for years.  Your event will be a success having a caterer that we know and trust, and consistently meets our high standards.

Can we bring our own liquor? For liability reasons all alcohol must be provided and served by our licensed caterer.  We think you will find our bar prices to be reasonable and actually lower than a lot of venues.

Can we have hard alcohol? The venue permits beer, wine and champagne only.  Our venue is located on a curvy country road and we have learned that hard alcohol and that road do not work well together.

It says only four children allowed. Is that a hard and fast rule?  Children find this venue to be a small disneyland, and what child wouldn’t want to investigate and play in every area!  There are so many places for children to get hurt that It is for the reason of safety, and for the enjoyment of the guests, that we must limit small children to those in the wedding party only.  We specify wedding party because then no one is offended that their child is not attending if he or she is not part of the wedding party.  More often than not couples are choosing child-free weddings, and letting us be the bad guy is just fine with us!  The only exception to the rule are children who are NOT walking yet.
