How many guests can the venue accommodate?

Perfectly Sized for Your Guest List
Our venue is designed to comfortably accommodate guest counts between 25 to 150, making it the perfect size for your celebration.

• Small Gatherings: For more intimate weddings, we offer creative options to make the space feel cozy and inviting, ensuring your smaller guest list feels right at home.

No matter your guest count, our venue adapts beautifully to provide a memorable and seamless experience for you and your loved ones.

Our Ceremony Site offer a beautiful amphitheater set up with custom benches, a beautiful paver walkway to a large dock with an arbor by the lake for your picturesque ceremony.

How many weddings or events do you host on one day or on one weekend?

While we only host one event per day, we believe that our weekend package is the most ideal option. It allows ample time for guests to arrive without feeling rushed.

Do you have liability Insurance?

We hold all the required insurance for our business. Additionally, we ask that you purchase an individual liability insurance policy for guests. This helps protect you and us should something happen.  We recommend Nuptial as our go to insurance agency. Click here for their information!

We've taken special care to ensure accessibility for all our guests. We have a designated drop-off area to assist those who may find our gravel parking area challenging. Furthermore, we've created a dedicated handicap space for your guests to fully enjoy the ceremony, and we offer an ADA-compliant restroom facility.

We provide two restrooms within the venue for your guests' convenience. If you plan to utilize other parts of our property for event activities, additional restroom facilities may be required.

Is parking available on-site? Will guests be charged for parking?

We offer ample parking for all your guests at no additional cost. Additionally, we provide a dedicated parking attendant who will assist in guiding your guests to their parking spots for the evening.

Are taxis or ride shares available from the venue?

Given our country setting, taxi and ride-share services can be limited. However, we have established partnerships with a couple of excellent shuttle companies that are more than willing to help with you and your guest’s transportation requirements!

What overnight accommodations do you provide?

It depends on the package you choose.

With the Simplicity Package, we provide the Honeymoon Cottage and Redbud Cottage. If you opt for our Elegance Package, we include the the cottages above and Magnolia Meadow Retreat and Tree House Cabin. These four accommodations can comfortably sleep up to 22 guests. We also offer the Magnolia Meadow Retreat and Tree House Cabin as add-ons to our other packages; please inquire for pricing as it varies based on the season.

Should you be interested in any of our supplementary accommodations, please don't hesitate to contact us for pricing details. Click Here!

Do you have your own sound equipment and speakers, or will that need to be rented or provided by the entertainment?

While we do provide one speaker that can be used with a microphone or your phone for music, for the best sound experience, we recommend considering a professional who can supply their own specialized equipment for your occasion.

Are there noise restrictions?

The county enforces a noise ordinance that places limits on decibel levels, ensuring a pleasant environment for your event. While these limits provide ample sound, they are restricted between 10pm and 8:00am. Special permits are available for extended time and decibel levels. To respect our neighbors, we have also established our own quiet hours from 10pm to 8:00 am.

What is the back up plan for rain or inclement weather?

Our venue offers abundant indoor space with three sides enclosed to shield you and your guests from unfavorable weather conditions. The only area that might be impacted by inclement weather is the ceremony site. As a contingency plan, we can host your ceremony inside the venue with our beautiful stain glass as your backdrop or a more distant view of the lake whichever you prefer, initially utilizing the area designated for the dance floor. Following the ceremony, we can swiftly rearrange the chairs to free up the space. Alternatively, we can coordinate with a rental company to provide a tent that covers the ceremony site, although this would incur an additional expense.

Are there getting ready rooms on site?

With all our packages, we provide two cottages for your use as dressing rooms and overnight accommodations. However, we've taken special care in creating spaces in the Tree House Cabin and Magnolia Meadow Retreat with you and your bridal party in mind. The Magnolia Meadows Retreat boasts a grand façade, perfect for capturing memorable photos with the bride, her family, and bridesmaids. Upstairs, a meticulously planned bridal suite bedroom features four sinks and four mirror, exquisite antique furniture, including a dressing table and tri-fold mirror, creating a picturesque setting as you and your squad prepare for your monumental day. The Tree House Cabin offers an ideal space for the groom and his party to relax, engage in games such as pool, darts, foosballs, and fishing and unwind before the preparations begin.

The duration of your rehearsal time can vary depending on the package you select and the day of the week for your wedding. The rehearsal can take place during one of our open house days. Unless you have scheduled a wedding weekend or booked a Thursday with a Friday wedding. The property must be vacated after completing the rehearsal program. The barn will not be available to decorate after the rehearsal without prior approval. With our Elegance Package, you enjoy longer rehearsal & set up time, or even a rehearsal dinner and we can discuss the use of our properties for a welcome party, rehearsal dinner, or farewell brunch (please note we do allow farewell brunches and rehearsal dinners at Magnolia Meadows and do incur an additional fee).

What is the venue fee and what is included in the total? Does it cover service charges, gratuity, and cleaning fees, or are those additional line items?

Additionally, we offer the option to use the kitchens in the on-site cottages for heating or last-minute preparations if desired.
