Frequently Asked Questions

How many guests can Weddings Over Waterfalls accommodate?
We accommodate up to 30 guests for small weddings.
What is included in the wedding package price?
The price includes high-quality tables and chairs, tablecloths, four handmade live-edge tables (for catering, bar, gifts, or a sweetheart table), and a high-peak white tent above a raised platform for small weddings only. Almost everything is included, except for food and flowers. A professional, Bluetooth-ready sound system for the ceremony and reception is also provided.
When is the venue available for micro and small weddings?
The venue is available seasonally from mid-April to mid-November for weddings.
When can we book elopements?
Elopements can be booked year-round, offering flexibility for couples seeking a more intimate experience.
How do I check availability?
You can check availability using the calendar on our website or reach out to us directly, and we’d be happy to assist you with your booking.
Where can we hold the ceremony?
There are a variety of stunning ceremony locations to choose from, with the two most popular being the island between two branches of the creek and the extensive patio beside the house. Both offer beautiful, natural settings for your vows.
Is the patio available for use during our event?
Yes, the patio beside the house is available for ceremonies, receptions, or gatherings. It offers a scenic and spacious option for your wedding day.
What happens if it rains on our wedding day?
The property is magical in the rain, with the waterfalls becoming even more impressive. All events are rain or shine. We provide a tent with side walls for small weddings, and the house is available for shelter for elopements and micro weddings.
Do you provide chair seating for the ceremony?
Yes, we provide chair seating for your ceremony as part of the wedding package.
What time can we begin setup?
Setup times will be coordinated based on your event’s specific needs, and your vendors will have easy access to the property. We’ll work with you to ensure everything is arranged smoothly.
Is there a space for music and dancing?
Yes, the platform and tent double as both a dining area and a dance floor. After dinner, we will quickly and easily move tables to create space for dancing. You’ll be dancing with views of the enchanted forest on one side and the creek on the other.
Do you provide setup, breakdown, and cleaning services, or do we handle that ourselves?
We take care of setup, breakdown, and trash removal. While general cleanup is appreciated, you don’t need to worry about extensive cleanup tasks, and we’ll handle the trash removal for you.
Is there parking available for guests?
Parking is limited to roughly 12 cars, so we encourage guests to carpool whenever possible. We’ll work with you to ensure that your event runs smoothly with parking logistics.
Where can our guests stay overnight?
There are plenty of accommodation options nearby through VRBO and Airbnb, and we can recommend several of which can accommodate large groups of up to 20 guests.
What are your pet policies?
Dogs are welcome at the venue with prior notice. We love when couples include their furry family members in their special day.
Are we required to purchase event insurance for our wedding?
A: Yes, all couples are required to purchase their own day-of event insurance. This insurance should cover liability for any accidents, injuries, or damages that may occur during the event. It’s an essential step to ensure your day goes off without a hitch. If you don’t already have a provider, we can recommend several reputable companies that offer event-specific insurance. Please provide proof of insurance at least one week prior to your event.
What are your alcohol policies, and do you have recommendations for bartending services?
Alcohol is permitted at the venue, and we can provide a list of recommended bartending services. Bartenders are not included in the package price, so you’ll need to make arrangements separately. This is required by law.
Can we bring our own vendors?
You’re welcome to bring your own vendors as long as they meet our venue’s requirements.
Do you have vendor recommendations?
We have a select list of vendor partners, including photographers, caterers, florists, planners, and coordinators. We can also make recommendations for bartenders and other key services.
Do couples need to hire a coordinator for their event at an additional cost?
Yes, this is a mandatory add-on for all events other than for elopements. We can provide a list of wedding coordinators and planners, or you can opt for Weddings Over Waterfalls staff who intimately know the property and will be on-site to ensure the day runs smoothly.
What about vendor access, and how can we avoid potential driveway issues?
The driveway can get crowded quickly, especially if cars pile in, which can make it difficult for vendors to move in and out. We encourage careful planning to ensure vendor access is smooth. So far, we’ve had great success even with weddings of up to 30 guests, and we’ll work with you to coordinate logistics.
Can certain guests stay and enjoy the property for an after-party after the event?
We typically do not permit guests other than the wedding couple to remain on the property after the event is over. However, we can make separate arrangements for an after-party at an additional cost plus a added insurance coverage we can help arrange for you to purchase.
