Frequently Asked Questions
HOW DO I ARRANGE A VISIT?
You can arrange to visit the property by using the online calendar to find a convenient time. We recommend that to gain the best experience and gather correct information about the property, first visits should be limited to adults only.
WHAT ARE YOUR ALLOWABLE HOURS?
We can plan your day between the hours of 11:00AM and 11:00PM. As we handle most of the preparations for you, you do not need to spend your hours setting up tables, chairs, decor, etc.
ARE THERE RESTROOMS AND PARKING
We have two restrooms inside the barn. There is plenty of parking, loading zones, and ADA parking on request.
DO YOU REQUIRE A COORDINATOR?
For events with more than 30 guests, a day-of coordinator is required to oversee the event details. We always include Day-of Coordination, and are also happy to collaborate with your personal wedding planner.
WHEN CAN WE START TO SET UP?
At the start of your contracted time! We may allow you to drop off decor the day before or at your rehearsal, if we do not have another event planned.
HOW MANY GUESTS CAN YOU ACCOMMODATE?
Comfortably, up to 80. A few extras can be seated if necessary! We limit our guest count and resulting traffic to also protect the integrity of the property and trees.
CAN WE BRING OUR PETS?
Pets on a leash are allowed for photos and ceremonies only. Some pets are invited to stay the entire day, on a per-pet basis. A handler must be present at all times.
We recommend taking them home or to a sitter after the ceremony for their comfort and that of the guests. Pets are not allowed inside the dressing rooms.
WHAT ABOUT SERVICE ANIMALS
Only dogs trained to work or perform tasks for a disabled person are permitted as service animals under the ADA and Oregon State Law. Service animals in training are also protected.
Pets specified as emotional support animals are allowed on a per-case basis and must be in the care of their registered owner at all times. (No sitters or handlers).
Aggressive behavior or continuous barking will not be tolerated as it disrupts the event.
WHAT ABOUT CHILDREN?
For safety reasons, children under 12 must be supervised by an adult at all times while on our property. We recommend age-appropriate activities and we have plenty of open spaces for supervised play. Please note that we are not liable for any injuries resulting from unsupervised play.
DO YOU HAVE PREFERRED VENDORS?
Yes! But you are not limited to our list. You can check out some of our favorites here
WHAT RENTALS MIGHT I NEED?
Not much! We offer farm tables, picnic tables, benches, and folding wooden chairs. We have a variety of antique, rustic, and homemade furniture available for displays, cakes, gifts, etc.
ARE THERE DRESSING ROOMS?
We have dressing rooms available for each side of the wedding party. They can be used from the start of your event until after the ceremony. We do allow early access for hair and make in our main dressing room.
DO YOU PROVIDE CATERING?
For our smaller packages, (<30) we can offer our private chef service. For large groups, we have some wonderful recommendations and a few preferred companies who partner with us for special packages.
CAN WE BRING IN OUR OWN FOOD?
For health and safety reasons, we do not allow potluck-style catering. Delivery from licensed restaurants is permitted, but servers must be provided for set up and clean up of all catering related items.
WHAT ARE YOUR BAR AND BEVERAGE RULES
