Exceptions will only be made due to severe weather conditions such as hurricane events, high winds over 75 miles an hour, more than 1 foot of snow, or other extreme weather related circumstances. Heavy Rain is not considered an extreme weather event and contingency plans should be made such as tents or moving the wedding indoors. 

Q: What happens in case of inclement weather?

A: Have a backup plan for outdoor events. We can suggest alternative indoor setups or recommend local tent rental services.

Q: Who is responsible for cleanup after the event?

A: You are responsible for leaving the property in standard rental condition.

Please plan accordingly.
