In order to provide a smooth and positive experience for our couples, we maintain internal records of vendor performance based on past events. Couples are welcome to bring outside vendors; however, we do ask that they check with us in advance to ensure the vendor meets our property standards and has not been restricted from working on-site. While we value and encourage great vendor relationships, we reserve the right to decline vendors who have previously demonstrated unprofessional behavior or created issues during events.

Yes, the venue is up to commercial code, has been inspected and given a certificate of occupancy by Nassau County in the state of Florida. We have also been inspected and passed all annual fire marshal inspections. We are the only venue in the county that contains a fire suppression system in accordance with the Florida state fire marshal. Safety is our highest priority when it comes to our clients and their guests.

We only allow ONE wedding per day and all rehearsals are scheduled on days that an event is not being held. Once the bridal party starts walking down the aisle, the gate is closed to keep the ceremony private. After the ceremony has commenced, the gate is opened again for guests and vendors to enter and exit as needed. Anyone not associated with your wedding party will not be allowed at the venue.

You may reserve your date up to two years in advance. Because we host a high volume of weddings and events each year, we recommend booking as early as possible to secure your preferred date. Please note that dates are not held without both a signed contract and the required retainer fee. All reservations are made on a first-come, first-served basis. Once we receive your signed contract and retainer fee, your date will be officially reserved.

All payments and fees made toward the event are non-refundable in the event the Client cancels the event for any reason.

If the event must be canceled or postponed due to an Act of God, including but not limited to hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, sinkholes, severe weather, governmental restrictions, pandemics, epidemics, war, terrorism, civil unrest, or other unforeseeable circumstances beyond the control of either party, the Venue will make reasonable efforts to reschedule the event to another available date selected by the Client without an additional rescheduling fee. A new contract reflecting the new event date will be required.

If the Client requests to reschedule the event due to personal circumstances, including but not limited to illness, death, military obligations, family emergencies, scheduling conflicts, pandemics, or any other reason not caused by the Venue, the Client will be required to execute a new contract for the new event date and pay the applicable rescheduling fee.

In all rescheduling situations, the original retainer fee paid under the original contract shall be retained by the Venue as liquidated damages for reserving and removing the original date from availability. Any additional payments made beyond the original retainer may be applied toward the rescheduled event date.
