We allow flexible drop-off, setup, and pick-up between 9:00am-5:00pm on the day before and day after the event. We only book one wedding per weekend. If decor, rentals or personal items are to be picked up the day after the event, the site must still be left clean & tidied at the event’s conclusion.

It looks refreshing, but unfortunately we do not allow guests to swim in the pool due to obvious liability reasons. Any children under 14 years of age must be accompanied by an adult when around the pool. The pool is a wonderful place for floating lights, candles, or floral arrangements. If you are holding a photoshoot or intimate gathering you may inquire about exceptions.

We have a designated smoking area. We ask that guests only smoke in this area due to fire hazards.

We do not allow sparklers, tapered candles, or pillar candles. We allow tealight candles inside votives that go past the flame. There are lovely options for LED candles available now. Truthfully, many live flame candles blow-out outdoors, and LED is a more consistent option.

We have two small generators on-site to continue the use of music and lighting. Portable restrooms are often self-contained with water and power.

No, the lawn is beautiful all year around. Due to the slight incline on the lawn, it does not collect water. In the summer months we are able to keep it nice and green with our deep well water.
