IS THE PACKAGE WE CHOOSE ABLE TO BE MODIFIED?
Let’s discuss your vision. Please see our additional services section for options we offer.
MAY WE GET READY AT THE VENUE?
With the exception of those accessing hair and make up services prior to a Micro Wedding the venue is not available for wedding parties to get ready.
We want to keep the venue clean and pristine for your arrival and will need time in between to make sure the details are taken care of.
MAY WE STAY THE NIGHT IN THE GUESTHOUSE SUITES?
You are always welcome to inquire about a stay, however being able to accommodate a stay will depend on availability.
CAN WE INVITE OTHER WEDDING GUESTS TO JOIN US IN THE SUITE?
Our goal is to provide an intimate, private experience for the Bride and Groom. For this reason reservations are for the couple who reserve the suite only.
IS THE GUEST HOUSE VENUE WHEELCHAIR ACCESSIBLE?
We aren’t accessible at this time. Our washroom facilities are located upstairs in the loft suite and the terrain is mainly made up of grass.
IS THE BUBBLY TOAST ALCOHOLIC?
We offer a non alcoholic bubbly beverage at this time. We know that toasting to the happiness of the newly married couple is a tradition we can provide in this way. We can suggest restaurants in South Niagara where you and your group can enjoy a different beverage after your ceremony here.
WHAT HAPPENS IF WE CAN’T GO THROUGH WITH OUR SMALL WEDDING DUE TO COVID RESTRICTIONS?
We will need to adhere to rules, regulations and requirements outlined by the Federal, Provincial and Municipal government. If events of this size are not allowed outdoors, you may choose to adjust your guest count to meet the regulations or reschedule your to a later date based on availability.
