Q 3

Yes! We have a full commercial kitchen and a great menu selection for you to choose from and it is already included in the per person price you are quoted!
Q 4
Are we allowed to bring in our own caterer if we wish?
We do allow outside caterers as long as they are licensed and insured. They will be given an area to prep but are not allowed to have full use of the kitchen to cook. They will need to bring china, glassware and silverware as well as servers.
Q 5
Are dogs allowed?
We understand dogs are a part of the family and many couples like to include their dog in the ceremony. Therefore, we do allow the dog to come and be a part of the ceremony. However, they will not be permitted inside the Cottage or event space. We prefer if they are taken home after the ceremony if possible.
Q 6
Is smoking allowed?
Smoking is allowed outside only. We can have a designated area if you prefer.
Q 7
Are we allowed use of the Cottage?
If the Cottage rooms are included for an over night stay in your package, then yes, you have full access to the Cottage. If you have chosen a package without rooms, then the ladies will be given use of the bridal suite and the men will have use of the groom’s suite to get ready. Once the event starts, you will no longer have access to the cottage except to retrieve your things.

Q 18
What happens in the case of inclement weather?
We have you covered. Literally! We have a covered pavilion that could be used for the ceremony and the Sycamore Room for the reception. Because you are the only event that day and have full use of the venue it is no problem at all to change plans due to weather. We will check the weather a day or two before hand and have a plan in place for worse case scenario.
