Amenities

Rental of the property includes the use of all the outside property including the very expansive back and side yard, swimming pool, the pasture, porch and garage.
 
It also includes the use of a beuatiful changing room with a balcony overlooking site and a rest room for the bride. The  changing room is available only for the bride and bridal party. The main house itself is not available or open to guests.
 

The two car garage works well for a catering kitchen and the attached sunroom with a sink is perfect for a staff work area.

 

There are multiple sites available for wedding ceremonies including under an oak tree in the pasture, in front of the arbor, under palm trees, by the rose garden or several other areas.

 

The property rental fee includes the entire day of the event, the set up the day before and the rehearsal.

 

Policies

Amplied music is allowed but it must stop by 10:00 p.m.

A wedding or event coordinator is required. You may hire the site manager, Weddings By Diana, an experienced wedding & party planner for your event (fee not included in site fee) but outside licensed coordinators are acceptable also. The coordinator needs to be on site to ensure that all policies are followed. This includes during the delivery and set up of the rentals, the wedding or event day itself and the break down and clean-up. 

All vendors are required to be fully insured and licensed. Outside alcohol is permitted but if alcohol is to be sold on the premises, an ABC license is required.

Host needs to provide portbale restrooms (one for every 50 guests).

Host needs to provide security guards (one for every 50 guests).

The pasture is available for parking but valet parking is still required. If a shuttle is used, which would be ideal, then a few parking directors must be on hand for the few cars that don't use the shuttle.

Additional lighting is needed for evening weddings and events.

Set up may be done the day before the event and rentals may be delivered the day before and picked up on the Sunday or Monday after the event. Additional fees may be reuired if a two day set-up is needed.

Dance floors, heat-lamps and any other heavy equipment placed on the grass must be removed at the conclusion of the event and put in place the same day so as to protect the grass.

 

In case of rain, a canopy will be necessary. A contingency canopy plan is always a good idea and it would be easily set up on this property.

 

Children under 12 must be fully supervised by adults. The swimming pool and the rocks on the property are dangerous for unsupervised children.

 

Property must be left exactly as it was found. All clean-up is to be done at end of event. Caterer is to leave garage clean as well as entire property.
