WHAT IS INCLUDED?
We have many options for any budget! In the Warren and Lounge, base rentals start with four hour minimum slots and include setup of tables and chairs, access to the catering kitchen and bar, audio and visual equipment (bluetooth and 3 TV’s), bathrooms, water fountain/bottle filling station, and coat check/storage access.
Before the end of your time slot, you’re required to remove anything of your own that you’ve brought - we’ll take care of the rest!
Our wedding packages include separate ceremony and reception spaces, as well as getting-ready and overnight suites in the Cottage. They also include all of the amenities included with the Lounge and Warren rentals listed above.
Venue staff will be available on-site to assist with the use of our spaces including general site maintenance and guest or vendor questions. All wedding package clients are required to book a professional planner or coordinator for their event.
In order to secure your event date, we require a signed contract, a 50% booking payment, and the security deposit (physical check required). This can be completed in person or online via Honeybook. Contact our coordination team to get started!
