Frequently Asked Questions
What is your Guest Capacity Limit?
Our limit is 50-60 people. We can hold 42 people inside the Chapel for an indoor ceremony. (We most commonly see clients invite additional guests to the “after party” or reception. We can currently hold 60 people in front of the Chapel for an outdoor ceremony (and we are hoping to expand this soon!). Our reception space can hold 60 guests for receptions and rehearsal dinners. Outdoor wedding availability is dependent upon the season. Certain months may require a tent rental. Seasonally, in peak weather months, we granted permission for 60+ guests for special parties or events.
What is your Vendor Policy?
We have an Open Vendor Policy, meaning you can bring in a licensed and insured vendor of your choice, or you can choose from our Vendor List! Please note that if food/drinks are to be served, proof of license and liability insurance must be provided to LA at least two weeks prior to the event.
Who are your Vendors?
We provide a vendor list to clients once they have completed their tour. This list includes: photographers, caterers, florists, officiants, planners/coordinators, DJ/audio, 3rd party rentals, hotels + more. We are adding to and updating our Vendor List regularly.
Do you require Event Insurance?
We follow the industry standards, therefore we do require Event Insurance for all events. You can get insurance through your current insurance companies, or, we suggest Googling "event insurance for wedding couples" and it should provide you plenty of options! It's a pretty popular need and should not be an expensive add-on. It's there to protect you in case of an emergency/damage/injury with your guests while at your event.
What is required to book my event?
A paid deposit and signed contract are required to consider your event booked in our calendar. We do not hold dates without both a paid deposit and signed contract.
How far in advance can I book?
Peak wedding months book 10-14 months in advance, whereas off-peak months book 5-12 months in advance. We have often helped people with 4 months or less to find a date at our venue and would be happy to acommodate your timeline. If your event is within the next 90 days, we can notify our property owner and speed up your booking process!
What is your pricing?
Our pricing in handled by the property owner on an individual basis. After your initial phone call where we learn about your event details, he would be happy to give you a quote. Please inquire through our website. Pricing factors include the day of week/weekend, season/time of year, guest count, and rental inclusions.
Will you coordinate our event?
We do not provide in-house coordination at this time for client events, but we can direct you to some fabulous event coordinators and planners that have worked at our venue before. A staff member will be on the property during your event to help with any questions or guidance about the facility, but your coordinator/planner will take care of your specific event needs, details, decor and timelines.
What is your alcohol policy?
Alcohol is not permitted on the property, unless approved by the property owner. Most events are allowed beer, wine and champagne. Hard liquor is strictly prohibited. All vendors must be licensed and insured. Proof of license and liability insurance must be provided to LA at least two weeks prior to the event. Client must supply all vendor names and contact information to LA.
Do I have to worry about another event happening same-day?
We only book one event per day, so the venue is all yours throughout the duration of your rental! Unless you have booked an elopement session, hourly rental or ceremony-only, in which case your access to the property is different than our standard day-long rentals. Your rental time would be clearly stated in your contract.
What are your standard booking hours?
A Wedding is a 12 hour rental (9 am - 9 pm), with additional time available for a fee. A Corporate event is an 8 hour rental (9 am - 5 pm), with half days or extensions available upon request.
What is your payment policy?
