Since this in an outdoor wedding venue, what do we do if it rains?
We understand the importance of having a seamless and enjoyable outdoor experience for your special day. As a result, we recommend our guests rent a tent from a reputable local vendor to ensure that their reception is protected from the elements. In the event of inclement weather, our vendors are generally accommodating and will allow you to add sides to your tent at the last minute, if available. This added flexibility provides peace of mind and ensures that your celebration remains memorable, regardless of the weather forecast. Please don't hesitate to reach out to us if you have any questions or concerns regarding tent rentals or weather contingency planning."
