Can we have live music?

We currently do not host after-parties on-site, but we’re happy to recommend nearby venues for late-night fun.

Do you offer after-parties?

Candles are permitted if fully enclosed in glass with at least two inches of clearance above the flame. We do not allow hot or cold sparklers due to safety concerns, and confetti is prohibited to protect our environment and local wildlife.

Are candles or sparklers allowed?

Our packages include 60” round tables, and we have a limited number of 72” rounds available for an additional fee. If you prefer other table styles, they can be rented along with coordinating linens.

Can we choose long tables instead of round tables?

We’re a venue and catering company and minimally require a day-of coordinator. We strongly recommend partnering with a professional planner to ensure a seamless experience leading up to and on your wedding day.
