Rehearsals
● A one hour rehearsal is included with any wedding rental but must be scheduled at available times.
● Because we often have weddings or events scheduled on Fridays, the grounds are usually reserved for rehearsals on Thursday.
● If the Friday before your Saturday wedding is available as your date approaches, we will be glad to let you plan to use it for your rehearsal, but it cannot be guaranteed if another event is booked.
Alcohol
● You may supply alcoholic beverages for your reception or other function.
● You may provide your own bartender(s) or we can provide professional bartenders at $125 each for the duration of your evening.
● You cannot serve alcoholic beverages to your guests until after your wedding ceremony.
● A security guard, provided by, bonded and insured by the Park, is required for any presence of alcohol at $240 for the evening. Drinking in the parking lot or in vehicles is prohibited. It is illegal for any person under 21 to consume alcoholic beverages.
● For an alcohol free reception, Martinelli’s Sparkling Apple Cider is a popular toasting beverage that most adults and children enjoy.
Decorations
● No vehicles are allowed on lawn areas for loading, unloading, display, or any other purpose.
● You may hang any signs or decorations using thread, string, hooks, zipties or twistties from trees, poles, structures, ceiling grids, or anything that does not cause damage to the property.
● You cannot attach anything using staples, pushpins, thumbtacks, nails, tapes or adhesives.
● You may decorate with any organic materials—flowers, petals, leaves, seeds, grains, straws, bales, thatchings, bubbles, fruits, etc
● Fabric aisle runners on grass simply do not work. Everyone trips. Organic rose petals are the typical choice for ground decoration.
● You cannot use artificial leaves or petals, glitter, confetti or streamers as they are very difficult and expensive to cleanup.
● You cannot use open flames, sparklers, fireworks, or tiki torches. Glass enclosed lanterns or open top votives are acceptable.
● One hour is allowed for outdoor decoration removal and cleanup so the site can be vacated by 11:00 pm.

● It is up to the entertainers or DJ to evaluate and insure power availability and amperage for their use before the event takes place.
