Do I have to put out my own tables and chairs?
Absolutely not! We will have a planning meeting 3 to 4 weeks prior to your date to plan the set up of the gardens and room with tables, chairs, centerpieces and linens plus any decor items you may have rented. When you arrive, the room will be set as discussed. 

Do you get time for a rehearsal?

Can we use the gardens for our engagement and bridal portraits?
You bet! Just give us a call to schedule time.

What do you mean when you say "clean up"?
"Clean up" really just means whatever items and decor you brought in goes with you, all trash off tables and into our trash cans and taken to dumpster. The time also allows for your vendors to pack and load up.

Do you offer decor beyond what is included in your package?
We do! We have a large variety available! We can do all the decor for you or just parts of it, your choice.  We will set up a decor appointment and go over the options we have available. That is the fun part!

Do you offer refunds on cancellations?
Sorry, no. 

What if there is inclement weather?
We understand how important it is to our couples to have their ceremony in the gardens and we do everything we can to make that happen. We have turf down in the gardens which can be dried, paths that can be blown dry, and chairs that can be wiped. But if all else fails, we can move the ceremony indoors to take place in front of the beautiful wall lights. We make this call the day of and always consult with the couple before any final decisions are made. 

Can we have sparklers?
Of course, and they make for the best pictures!
