Wedding FAQ

We can book your dream wedding as far out as three years, or longer if you want. 

The private spaces that we offer to our couples at our Hotels have a minimum spend based on the ballroom size that you choose. The minimum spend will change when comparing a Friday or Sunday night wedding, to a Sunday brunch wedding, to a Saturday night summer wedding. 

Winter weddings also have different minimum spends based on the ballroom size.  Winter Weddings are offered between November 1^st and April 30^th each year. 

We reserve the ballroom from 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. for a morning or afternoon event. Then from 4:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m. for an evening event.  We recommend the first two hours of your rental as set up time. For example: cocktails will begin at 6:00 p.m.

We start our events at 6 p.m. and will turn on the lights for the end of the party at 1 a.m.
