Can I drop off my personal decor the day before?

Each date is reserved for each client's event, so we are not able to accommodate storing decor ahead of time. However, if we do not have an event the day before, your Event Specialist can discuss the possibility of dropping off some small items ahead of time.

Question 13

Can my pets come to my wedding?

We know how important it is to include our fur babies on special days. We are able to accommodate pets for outdoor ceremonies and photos. Given the historic nature of our interior, we are not able to host pets for indoor ceremonies, photos, or receptions.
