What is included in the weekend rental?
You have your choice of one event as well as exclusive use of the entire property, which includes the grounds and accommodations on site.

​

Do I need an event planner or coordinator?
Yes and no. We do require a planner for wedding ceremonies and receptions but do not require (but strongly recommend) a planner for other social functions. A well-orchestrated event always has a conductor.
