A: There is a $15,000 minimum for Friday-Sunday dates for our Peak Season months: April, May, June, September and October. For packages not meeting the minimum, Monday - THursday dates are available! However, if your wedding has a 1-3 month turnaround and we have a peak date open, the minimum requirement can be waived. Some dates may not apply. Inquire for details.

Q: What do we do for food?
A: We provide a recommended vendor list for you! You're welcome to chose from our listed vendors who have been here before and do an excellent job, or do your own research and bring someone in. if you bring in a caterer not on our list, please have them contact us. they will have questions! It's also popular to cater in your favorite restaurant (Ex: Chipotle, olive garden, etc.). Or if you're local, a big pot luck is always a huge hit!

Q: Is there somewhere for us to get dressed?
A: you are welcome to rent the enchanted cottage. please check for availability! if not, we ask that you arrive dressed and ready for the ceremony. 

Q: what does a wedding day look like?
A: we want things to be as laid back and stressless as possible. we ask guests and your officiant to arrive about 15 minutes early. our coordinator will greet your guests as they arrive, help them park and get everyone seated. The bride will remain in her car, hidden behind the fence line. when all guests are seated, the bride exits the vehicle and walks right into the ceremony. after that, it's your photographer's call!
