How do I decide which venue is right for me?

• Everything about Mountain Crest Venue is grand luxury - the view, the pond, sunsets, building, capacity, draping, lighting and details of the open event space with a max guest count of 33o. The first word your guests will say indoors or out is, “Wow!” and we are here for it!

• Riverbend Chapel was intentionally designed with a max capacity of 130 for a refined, more intimate elegance that will have your guests noticing the fine detailing, vast covered veranda, the sheer volume of floor to ceiling windows, decorative built-in shelving and window seats lining an entire wall.

What is the venue fee and what is included?

• The best and most important aspect of our venues is the high-touch and concierge-level of service that you will receive at our luxury locations.

• Our facility pricing is based on which venue you choose and the day of the week. You can see full pricing available for both facilities here. Amenities for each facility are here.

• While we are known for our luxury brand, we guarantee that we can find a day, time of year and package in one of our coveted facilities to suit your needs. We have had 320 people here for a Monday wedding and they danced until the very last song. Don’t ever let day of the week keep you from your dream venue. And there are immediate perks to non-Saturday rentals including two-day rentals on any available Tuesday-Friday.

What is the max capacity at each venue?

• Mountain Crest Venue has a max capacity of 330 with room for dance floor, buffet tables and room to mingle. The Riverbend Chapel max capacity is 130 with dance floor and buffet and room to mingle.

Do you hold dates while we make a decision?

• No, we do not do soft holds on any potential dates. Events are booked solely on a first come, first served basis.

Is my preferred date available?

• Before you book a virtual or in-person visit, confirm first that your date is available via our calendars and make sure you have a second date ready, just in case.

Do you keep a cancellation list?

• No. Cancellations are rare and unpredictable. If a cancellation is made, the date shows up as available on our calendar.

Can I add on the second location for a Full Estate Rental after I completed my original booking?

• Yes. We will have you sign an addendum to your original contract.

Do we have to set up and tear down the tables and chairs?

• It is included in your fee. When you walk into the door on your wedding day, our staff will have already completed the set up of tables and chairs for you. We use an online floor plan creator where we are able to completely customize each event for your desired layout.

We need a little extra time in the venue. Can I add on hourly?

• Sure thing. It is $500/hour.

What is the payment schedule?

• 12 and 14 hour rentals payments are 25% and the schedule is as follows: at contract signing, 60 days after contract signing, 120 and 60 days out from your event. You will have access to an online portal where you can make payments. Elopements and ceremony-only rentals have differing payment schedules.

Is there a rain plan?

• We ALWAYS have a rain plan. The details depend on which facility(ies) you have rented.

Are we required to hire a planner?

• You are required to have someone fulfill the roll of a coordinator on the wedding day. This one main person will attend the two week walkthrough, is the primary contact for your wedding day and cannot be a member of the bridal party.

• This role is best fulfilled by hiring a professional wedding planner/month of coordinator/day of coordinator, one of which we STRONGLY recommend you hire. References are readily available.

What about parking?

• At each location, we have the appropriate amount of parking for max capacity. Security arrives an hour prior to your wedding and directs parking, so your guests know exactly where to park.

• We allow and encourage overnight parking for those that need a safe ride home. Cars remaining after 10am the next morning are subject to towing.

Do we get a rehearsal?

• 1 hour the day before your wedding is included in your rental for a rehearsal, but it is not confirmed on our calendar until your walkthrough completed two weeks prior to your event. It is either 9am-10am the morning before or 4pm-5pm the evening before your wedding day. If our calendar is booked, and those times aren’t available, you can always do your rehearsal offsite or within your regular rental time on the wedding day.

Can I book a rehearsal dinner rental?

• Absolutely. Rehearsal dinner rentals are available once you are 6 months out from your wedding day.

How much should I expect to spend on my wedding day?

• We have seen it all and have had events here with budgets from six figures to ceremony only rentals for . The biggest impact on your budget is your guest count and the size of your bridal party. That number directly influences your food, bar, decor, florals, table count, genuinely everything. Then, it comes down to your tastes.

• We intentionally designed these buildings and placed them exactly where they are on the estate so that you can have effortless elegance with accessible luxury. But rest easy, no decorations could ever compete with the beauty of our views and the details of the facilities.

• Effortless elegance is our promise and our guarantee.
