You may elect to pay for all the rooms, some rooms, or have your guests pay for their rooms. Please indicate how you wish to set that up upon holding your date. Other scenarios may incur additional fees.
Security Deposit
In addition to the site fee, a $1000 security deposit is required to hold your date.
The deposit will be returned to you after the event if no damages have been incurred and the predetermined held rooms have been paid. Excessive and exorbitant messes or damage may result in a portion of the deposit not being returned to the wedding party. Final payment is due before departure.

Parties may use candles, but there must be a votive/container to catch the wax. We ask that parties NOT use glitter, confetti, rice or bird seed.

Parties may elect to rent linen at their own expense if another color beside white, what we provide, is desired.
