Question
Are there bathrooms at the venue?
Answer
Of course! The venue has a 2 single private bathrooms (one ADA accessible.) If bathroom is needed before cocktail hour, please just help yourself inside the venue at any time to do so. One bathroom does have a shower, in the worst case scenario but I imagine that won't be needed.

Answer
You're more than welcome to wear wedding formal- but please know we don't care what you dress in! Casual/comfort is gladly accepted at our wedding, there is no special dress code for the wedding.

Answer
The bride and groom will have a separate area from the buffet/nonalcoholic drinks for an open bar. A select few premixed drinks will be ready, along with: open liquor bottles with spouts to self mix, coolers with select brands of beer and malts- and selections of red and white wine. We will try our best to supply our guests with specific brands to their liking- but if you'd prefer to bring your own brand of alcohol please feel free! Don't hesitate to reach out to the bride and groom to request specific alcoholic beverages for them to try and accommodate everyone's taste. There will not be a bartender at the venue as alcohol is self serve. Grab what you like, have a good time!
