Booking and payment
  • For a wedding/entire-facility reservation, clients may pay in full or pay a 50% non-refundable deposit; the remaining 50% is due 60 days before the event.
  • The cancellation deadline is 30 days. Before the deadline, the stated refund is 50% of the full rental fee, except that a paid non-refundable deposit is not refunded; after the deadline, no refund is issued. Weather rescheduling may be discussed at no additional charge but replacement-date availability is not promised.
Vendors and access

The wedding FAQ allows clients to choose vendors/caterers but requires disclosure of the vendor list at the one-month check-in; renters and vendors have no access outside reserved time.

Cleanup

Reserved hours must include setup/takedown/cleanup, and renters must restore the property after the event; damage or extra cleaning may be assessed.

Before you book

Ask for a written quote for your date and guest count.

  • Entire-facility maximum occupancy and layout-specific wedding capacity.
  • Tax, insurance, damage-deposit, and any event-specific permit/security costs.
  • Availability of a weather-reschedule date.
  • Whether the wedding FAQ's 50% deposit option is an exception to the general rates/policies statement that reservations are paid in full at booking; confirm the controlling contract.
