Check out our pricing sheets which break costs down.
For a wedding to have a full dance floor, 250 is the max capacity on the main floor. An additional 70 guests can be seated in the Mezzanine. If you bypass a dance floor, we can seat up to 350 guests between the main floor and Mezzanine.
Yes! Our private estate is 280+ acres, with each venue having private exclusivity. We have intentionally planned our logistics to ensure each wedding is secluded and individually maintained.
To secure the venue, you must sign a contract and provide a 50% deposit of the venue rental. We can break the initial deposit down into 2 payments of 25% at signing, 25% two months later. The remaining balance is due 30 days before your wedding.
We have two preferred caterers: Food for Thought Catering and C&J Catering, that we have selected carefully, knowing that you will have success and rave reviews over their service and execution. These are the only two caterers that can use our full commercial-grade kitchen. We want everyone to have a 5-star experience. If you choose to use a vendor that is not on our preferred list, they are welcome; however, they will be subject to a fee and have access to a prep kitchen only.
Onsite! We have seven different Airbnb’s available for you, your party or your guests! Staying onsite for one night or the weekend, creates a memorable experience that goes beyond the wedding day.
Your venue rental starts at 10:00am, however, if you require earlier access to the bridal suite, your request can be accommodated with an 8:00am check in. A minimal extra fee will be assessed.
We allow your dog/dogs to be present for photos, ceremony and cocktail hour, with a professional handler. From there, we ask that the dog is taken back to a safe place where they can feel at peace and relax. When the party gets going, the dogs are the first ones to feel anxious and run. We do not allow any animals inside our venues at anytime.
Your caterer is required to stay until the end of your event, cleaning up all trash, food and barware. Our team will take care of tables and chairs. If you have décor, it is your responsibility to remove all personal items after the end of your event. This is where our Day of Coordination services are really great!
Of course! We welcome you and your bridal party to use the space before and after your ceremony.

Our History
