What size wedding do you allow?

The maximum amount that we can comfortably accommodate is 100 people.

What do I do to reserve my date?

To secure a date we will need a $500 security deposit and a singed Rental Agreement.  If your wedding is carried out as planned and everything is left in order, your deposit will be refunded to you approximately two weeks after your wedding date.  If however, your wedding should be cancelled or the venue is changed - the deposit will be considered "non-refundable" as we have held your date for you and turned others away.

Do you allow alcohol or champagne toasts?

We no longer allow any alcoholic beverages.

What if my family wants to do the catering for my wedding, do you allow outside catering?

Yes.  When you rent our facility you bring in your own caterer, minister, music, coordinator, photographer etc.

What provisions are made for children?

There is a 5-acre lake within 20 feet of the ceremony site. It is not possible to have adequate safety features in place, without taking away from the beauty of the natural           backdrop of Ashley Oaks Pavilion.  For their safety and your peace of mind, we ask that you inform all guests that if they choose to bring children -- they need to be aware

that there is a very real danger of drowning here and there is no lifeguard or childcare provided.  All children must remain with their parents at all times. 

          When should I tell my caterer to arrive on the day of my wedding?

Your contracted time starts whenever the first vendor or guest affiliated with your wedding arrives.  So if your wedding is at 4:00 and your caterer wants to come in at 1:00 your wedding (assuming the 7- hour package) would need to be over by 8:00.  Usually, it breaks down to two hours prior for pictures, dressing and setup - four hours for wedding and reception - one hour to cleanup and packing up.  But we are flexible on how you need to utilize your contracted time.

If I need additional time beyond my contracted hours would I be allowed to pay an additional fee and come early or stay late?

Yes. If we have no other function that conflicts, you may pay for the additional time at our regular rate of $100 per hour and stay as long as you need between our regular business hours of 9:00 AM-11:00 PM.  Everything must be completed by 11:00 PM

Who takes care of the cleanup when I just rent the facility?

You will be expected to remove all food, trash and personal belongings.  Actual clean-up is including in the price.

Where will we park?

All cars must be parked in the designated parking area - signs will be put out to direct guests. Cars may pull up to the ceremony/reception area for passenger drop off and loading and unloading only.  This is for the safety of all our "little" guests in the excitement of the day sometimes people may not be as careful as they normally would - when three or more cars get parked in the area next to the building it is difficult if not impossible to turn around - children are running and playing there and we do not want anyone hurt so we require that NO CARS be parked near the building.
