Q: Is there a catering kitchen?

No, many caterers have their own catering tent. Please make sure to check with the caterer that you are hiring to see if they provide one. If they don't, you will need to rent one for approximately $600.

Q: Do I need to rent chairs & tables?

The Elopement Package includes Iron Garden Chairs and Fruitwood Chairs that can be used for ceremony and/or reception. The Micro-Wedding package includes Iron Garden Chairs that can be used for ceremony and/or reception. Tables for dining must be rented by an outside vendor. The furniture in the home can not be moved outdoors for events. For events over 70 guests, chairs and tables must be rented through an outside vendor. There are extra offerings, like wedding pews, that are available for rent from us directly.

Q: Do I need to rent at tent?

If you are purchasing a Micro-Wedding Package or a Grand Celebration Wedding Package, this will include a tent for your event. Depending on the event size and other variables, the Director of Events may approve use of the indoor spaces of the home for rain plan instead of a tent. This permission must be in writing. If your reservation does not include a tent, you will need to reserve a tent as a rain plan. This does involve paying a deposit. If you don't use the tent, you will not need to pay the remaining balance and you can make this decision the week before your wedding. That said, many couples use a tent rain or shine. Tent pricing varies widely, regardless of type, tents look very majestic on "The Lawn" and are typically used for dinner & dancing. If you need additional information or you are interested in tenting your event, please consult our Director of Events before coordinating with a tent company.
