Frequently Asked Questions


WHEN DO I HAVE ACCESS TO THE VENUE?
Our weekend rental package is for two-and-a-half days. The day before the event you can have access to the facility at 9 am, and most couples choose to hold a rehearsal & dinner that evening.  On the day of your event, the facility opens again at 9am (unless other arrangements are made with management) to 11:59 pm (midnight). The day after your event, we will open at 9am till 12pm for you to pick up your belongings.

For single-day rentals, you will have access to the venue from 9 am to 11:59 pm (midnight).
