We're extremely blessed to have a caterer/chef who makes food from scratch. Dinner will be salad consisting of mixed field greens with raspberry dressing and caramelized pecans, top round steak with a brown sauce demi-glaze, chicken marsala, mashed potatoes, bacon infused green beans and rolls with cinnamon butter.
Will there be an open bar? Can I bring my own drinks?
There will be an open bar for guests to enjoy including water, pop, wine, beer and 2 signature drinks. The venue allows for BYOB so please bring your favorite drinks if you prefer.
Can I bring an extra person?
Sorry, no. While we wish we could invite more, our venue has limitations. The name of every guest invited to attend is clearly listed on your invitation and no additional guests can be accommodated. We look forward to sharing our special day with you.
Is the venue handicap accessible?
While the upstairs is not wheelchair accessible, there is a lift chair.
Will the wedding be indoors or outdoors?
Our afternoon ceremony will be outdoors.
Cocktail hour will have the choice to enjoy indoor and outdoor space with music, drinks, snacks and yard games.
Dinner and dancing will be indoors on the second floor of the venue with access to decks, balconies and outdoor space.
Guests will need to walk through grass to be seated for the ceremony. For that reason, stiletto or otherwise-thin heels are not recommended.
What time should I arrive at the ceremony?
We recommend arriving at the venue 30 minutes ahead of the ceremony start time to ensure you have enough time to park and find a seat prior to the start of the ceremony. The ceremony will begin at 3:30p sharp.
