Questions couples ask
How quickly do you answer event inquiries?
Within one business day, with a written quote. Jonah handles every wedding and private event himself.
Can we use our own caterer or bring our own alcohol?
Food comes from our three partner caterers, or another licensed caterer we approve. Alcohol is only estate wine and spirits served by our licensed bartenders; that's a condition of our license.
What happens if it rains on our ceremony?
The ceremony moves into the Press Barn at no charge. You can also add a tent on the lawn through our rental partner.
Can guests under 21 come to the wedding?
Of course. Our bartenders check ID at the bar and serve alcohol only to guests 21 and over, and there's always a non-alcoholic option on the bar.
Where do guests stay?
There's no lodging on the estate. We send couples a list of inns, rentals and hotels within 20 minutes, and a shuttle partner for the night.
