Package Access Times

Our Weekend Experience, Mid-Week Experience, and Friday Special packages include all 5 suites.
The Friday Special includes all 5 suites Thursday night , allowing couples to arrive the day before, settle in, decorate, have a rehearsal, and enjoy additional time at the property before their Friday wedding.
-
Yes. The suites can be added to any wedding package for the night of your wedding.
For example, a couple having a Saturday Day Experience may add the suites rental for Saturday night.
If no request to add rooms has been received we can re-open our rooms to for public Bed and Breakfast guest bookings around 60-90 days prior to the wedding day.
-
For Friday, Saturday, or Sunday wedding, the suite rental (5 suites) may be added for $1,500 per night.

The Friday Special gives you two days of venue experience and all our suites Thursday night for the SAME PRICE AS A SATURDAY DAY WEDDING
This gives you more for the same investment. This added time can be used decorating, for a rehersal, or just relaxing.
-
Possibly. Wedding couples receive first choice of the rooms for the night of their own event.
For example, a Saturday wedding couple receives first priority for Saturday night rooms. If that couple declines the rooms, those accommodations may then become available to a Sunday couple or B&B guest bookings.
Because of this priority system, a night associated with another couple's wedding cannot be guaranteed until that couple has officially declined the inn/suite rental.
-
Of course! We love welcoming and hosting your family members and loved ones during such a special time. When you have reserved the Inn suites, you may choose how you would like to assign the available suites to family members, members of your wedding party, or other special guests.
