FAQs
Question
Are children welcome?
Answer
Absolutely! The venue owners only ask that they are with an adult at all times and avoid areas that are not well lit. This venue is on a bluff. Unsupervised children approaching the bluff can be at risk for falling off the bluff or electrocution.
Question
Will there be alcohol?
Answer
Absolutely. We just ask that you drink responsibly. To reiterate, the venue is on a BLUFF. To get to those heights, there are many curvy roads and deer are very common.
Question
What if it rains?
Answer
No worries! The venue has a backup plan that is covered if this occurs.
Question
What is the attire?

The attire is cocktail. Dress nice but not too formal. A nice dress or fancy skirt and top will work. No jeans. No white or red colors. Wear whatever makes you comfy in your favorite dressy shoes
