Faqs
What are the regulations for vendors?
We offer top-notch partner vendors familiar with our venue for your convenience. While not mandating specific vendors for services outside your package, approval and proof of business license and insurance are required for non-partner vendors. Our partner caterers provides full-service options with customizable packages to suit various tastes & budgets.
Do your Caterers prepare for food allergies?
Our Caterers do have food choices for various food allergies. If we are informed about your food allergy requirements or preferences we will do our best to accommodate. If we are unable to accommodate your particular food allergies we recommend you bring your food with you.
Do you allow Alcohol?
Clients can bring beer, wine, champagne, wine coolers, and hard seltzers, but only bartenders can serve alcohol. Hard liquor is not permitted on the estate. Bartenders must have a MAST permit, business license, and insurance. They must also be hired through the venue.
Do you allow music?
Music permitted until 9:30 pm for a final private dance. Guests may gather belongings and say farewells until 10:30 pm.
What time does my event need to end?
The latest send-off time for the Bride and Groom is 9:30pm. This ends the event and begins the Teardown, loading of vehicles and our staff clean-up. Your 10-hours can be moved to earlier in the day if you chose but not later.
Can we have a rehearsal?
Every wedding includes a rehearsal scheduled 4-6 weeks before the wedding day. Typically, rehearsal occurs one to three days prior, but can also be arranged on the wedding day.
Do you offer set-up & Clean-up Services?
We handle Lavender Manor furniture setup, amenities, and teardown, including trash removal. All you need to take care of is your personal belongings’ removal from dressing rooms and the venue property.
What are the options regarding the sun?
We have a covered lounge area for early arrival guests. The ceremony is on the grass in the sun unless the couple chooses to hold their
ceremony under our 3200 square foot tent. Reception will be under the tented area.
What do you do for times when it is an extra hot day?
We do our best to make everyone comfortable with electric fans stationed around the tented area. We also encourage those that have difficulty with the heat to not arrive early and then remain in their vehicle with air-conditioning until ceremony time.
What happens if there’s inclement weather?
We have inclement weather options ready so your event goes off without a need for concern. We watch the weather closely the week of the wedding and will reach out to you in advance if an immediate decision is necessary or simply gauge the situation.
What kind of shoes should I wear?
We recomment flats or wedge shoes. Heals for women are more challenging because our parking lot is gravel and heals in the grass can stick and break. If you plan to wear heals we suggest chunky heels or wedges.
Are children allowed at the venue?
If the wedding couple allows children at their wedding and reception we ask that they are continuously supervised. As a venue we do not restrict nor do we encourage children on property during a wedding and/or reception. This is a decision for the wedding couple. There are areas where children can be safely playing but other areas are not safe due to hillside drop-offs.
What are your policies?
We require general liability and cancellation/or postponement insurance policies. This is a benefit to you as it protects you from things out of your control. We will provide recommendations for this requirement!
