Absolutely!   We host our Food and Beverage Showcase twice a year.  Typically one in the fall and one in the winter.   This gives you a great opportunity to sample some of our menu selections.  The Bride and Groom are complimentary and additional guests may attend at a nominal fee.

 Our team has the planning of your event down to a "T".  Three months before your wedding you will be assigned your own Wedding Specialist who will conduct your planning meeting, direct your rehearsal and be with you the day of the wedding.  You can consider her your "Day of Coordinator" as she is your go-to girl.  She will be here to greet and liaison between you and your vendors, make sure everything goes as planned during the event, give the bride and groom a fond farewell and stay to pack up your personal items to send with your family or friends.  The Wedding Specialist fee is $950  (a total bargain!).  Prior to being assigned your Wedding Specialist, our Director of Special Events will be your point person.

Furkids are welcome to be a part of the ceremony or make a visit for pictures.  

Our Director of Sales will provide you a detailed estimate of the charges for your event prior to booking.   You will sign a contract and our house policies and pay the rental fee as a deposit to hold a date. The date is not considered booked until both deposit and all paperwork is received.

​

50% of the remaining balance midway between your booking date and the wedding date.   The final payment due 2 weeks prior.  

We accept all major credit cards, cash and checks.  A 2.5% convenience fee will be applied to all credit card payments.
