We will be happy to set up a meeting and a tour.

Do you assist with event/wedding coordinating?

The Venue is not responsible for coordinating your event. You will need to have a planner/coordinator to handle any issues. Please note that the Venue manager is not responsible in assisting with any issues that arise between you and your outside vendors. The Venue manager is only on site to assist with building related issues.

Are flammables allowed on the property?

We do not allow the use of any flammable objects on the property. That includes: candles, sparklers, fire works, any open flame of any kind.

Also please note this includes no smoking on the property.

Other items not allowed:

Confetti
Streamers
Cannons
Glitter
Smoke Bombs
Helium Balloons (will choke livestock)
Sky Lanterns
Tinsel

Can I set up on the day before my weddings?

No, you can not use the facility the day prior to your event. If you want to decorate earlier than 10 am on the day of your event it will be an extra $300 per hour. The exception would be on a Friday event. You can rent it on a Thursday from 3 to 9 for an extra $2,500. For weekday events we are open to discussion.

When do I meet with someone to finalize the event?

At 60 days prior to your event the renter will need to visit the venue. They are expected to provide a list of their vendors, floor plan and timeline during this visit. There may be another visit 15 days prior to the event to finalize all plans if necessary.

What is required to book the venue for my event?

First check the calendar to pick a date for your event. Then call to schedule an appointment to complete and sign a contract. 50% of the rental fee is due then. Verbal discussion does not guarantee the date is reserved, only a signed contract.

What is your payment requirements?

Total payment may be paid at contract signing, or a 50% down is required at booking.
25% due 6 months prior to the event.
25% (final balance) due 3 months prior to the event. Also the refundable Damage Deposit of $500 will be due at this time.

What is the cancellation policy?

All payments made prior to cancellation are non-refundable if you cancel the event.

I understand that emergencies can arise unexpectedly. In light of the situation, such as a reschedule, I’m open to discussing options and finding a solution that works for both of us. We do highly recommend that you consider purchasing wedding event cancellation insurance to cover an unexpected change of plans.

Forms of Payment Accepted:

Cash
Check - Preferred
Credit Card
Bank Transfer

What are the clean-up requirements after our event?

All items brought in by you, your vendors, or your guests should be removed by the end of your rental period. Renter responsibility includes, but not limited to: cleaning and wiping down all tables and chairs; sweeping floors; removing all indoor and outdoor trash including decorations. Setup and take down of tables and chairs, cleaning bathrooms and mopping floors are included in the venue fee. The kitchen and bar should be free of all items and cleaned.

You are responsible for making sure your vendors are completely finished and out by the end of your rental period. All vendors are responsible for removing their items and trash when they leave the property. If your vendors do not remove their items and trash, you will be held responsible.

The on-site dumpster is not for vendor use, for the venue management and wedding party only.

Is there another option for clean-up?

For Renter convenience, the Venue offers an optional post-event cleaning service for a flat, non-refundable fee of $500. This covers post-event cleanup as listed above. Arrangements must be made in advance of the event date. This optional cleaning service applies solely to areas used by the Renter and their guests.

Vendors are excluded from this service and are required to remove all of their items and trash.

How many guests can you accommodate?

The venue can accommodate 350+ guests for a seated dinner and dancing as well as conference seating.

Should you wish to host a smaller event (birthday, anniversary, baby shower, etc.), the venue has an intimate enough setting to meet all of your needs.

Do you allow decorations?

Yes, renters are allowed to make the space their own. We do not allow anything flammable nor do we allow nails, hooks, or anything that would damage the venue. We recommend removable command hooks, tape and poster putty for hanging items if necessary.

Do you provide decorations/have an all inclusive package?

No, we do not provide any decorations, plateware, or items for your event. We also do not have an all inclusive package.

We have a beautiful big building with an amazing view we rent to you and you fill it with the vendors of your choice. If you are interested in what is included with the rental, please check the Venue Pricing page for further information.

Do you require Security?

Yes, an officer is required at all events where alcohol is being served. Proof of officer/security booking is required one month prior to the event.

Any requirements from the Caterer/s?

They must provide a certificate of insurance no later than 1 month prior to the event.

Do you require Event Insurance?

Yes, each renter is required to obtain event liability insurance for $1,000,000. Event liability insurance can cost as little as $65 depending on the level of coverage needed and event details. We recommend considering alcohol liability insurance for full bar events.

Are pets allowed?

No pets are allowed. Certified service animals will require valid proof of certification.

How late can music play?

Music must end by 11:00 pm.
