Q + A

Will there be alcohol served at the wedding?

No. This will be a "dry" wedding, so there will not be any alcohol served, nor is this a BYOB event space. If you bring any form of alcohol or other mind altering substances, (legal or illegal), you will be asked to leave.

Where can I go if I would like to have an alcoholic beverage?

There are plenty of establishments in the surrounding areas that serve beer and other adult beverages: The Penguin Hotel, Dutchmaid Deck, Cocalico Tavern, and right next door to the venue is an American Legion. If none of these strike your fancy, feel free to do a Google search!

Can I bring my child?

Yes, this is a family friendly event! However, you as the parent are entirely responsible for the supervision and welfare of your child. If you are unable to manage this in this setting, please do not bring your children. Also, if you decide to bring your children and don't see them in the RSVP, do not be alarmed! Just let us know by April 30, 2024, how many children you are bringing, so that we can have an accurate headcount for catering.

Do I have to stay at the hotel that has a room block set up for the wedding?

No, but there is a group discounted rate that is being provided if you should choose to stay at that hotel. However, there are several other hotels in and around the area that you can choose to stay at as well.

What is the parking situation?

There is a huge parking lot right across from the venue on the lefthand side. There are a few handicap spaces that are right in front of the venue, should you need to park there. There will be signs posted to avoid confusion.

Is the facility handicap accessible?

Yes. There are ramps for ease of access for those who need it. The bathrooms are also on the main floor of the venue and are very spacious as well.

Can I smoke in the venue?

NO and this also includes NO vaping! There is a designated smoking area located outside with a bench nearby that you can sit at and smoke. Do not smoke anywhere else but there, or you will be asked to leave.

Will there be vegetarian dishes available?

Yes. There will be salad and other vegetables being served at the reception.

If I bring my child who is still breastfeeding, is there a place that I can go to do this privately?

Yes, there is a room on the upper level of the venue that you would be able to use for privacy or you can also use the bridal cottage if needed. However, we believe that breastfeeding is completely natural and if you don't want to use these rooms for privacy, that is fine too!
