Commonly Asked Questions
Q. Can we have our fur baby involved in our wedding ceremony?
A. Yes, your dog is welcome to be a part of your wedding ceremony and is permitted on the lawns. If your fur baby is your ring bearer and when it is time for family photos, your fur baby can be off the leash, all other times they need to be on a leash. They are not permitted inside the venue. They are not able to stay at the on-site accommodation and need to be taken off-site after your ceremony. Some wonderful vendors have worked at our venue and can assist with caring for your pet and transport.

Make it your own.
By choosing to get married in a blank canvas venue you can make decisions that reflect the experience you wish to create. From the food you serve to the drinks available to guests… maybe you are part of a wine club or have a particular French champagne that you want to include as you got engaged in Paris.
Your vendors have access to the venue from 9am which is amazing for set-up and any large floral installations and furniture deliverers. No 1hr bump-in stress here.
