We love furry family members! Well-behaved dogs are welcome at outdoor ceremonies with prior approval.

It depends on the package you select. Our elopement and smaller event packages include specific spaces within the venue. For larger weddings and weekend-long celebrations, we do recommend renting the entire property to ensure privacy and exclusivity for you and your guests. We'll discuss the best option for your needs during your consultation.

Our packages include sparkling wine and champagne for toasting. If you'd like to provide additional alcohol for your event, please discuss this with our team during your planning consultation. We'll review our policies and help you make arrangements that comply with local regulations.

For safety reasons, open flames are restricted at our venue. LED candles are provided as part of our decor package and create a beautiful, safe ambiance.
