Q. Is there a dress rehearsal? A. We will review the wedding party line-up just before the ceremony. Should you feel a rehearsal necessary, you may reserve the chapel/waterfall area at $150/hour. (one hour minimum)
Q. How much time is allowed for each ceremony?
A. Weddings are booked on the hour. Each wedding is on a one hour schedule. However, your hour starts 20 minutes prior to your scheduled wedding time and ends 40 minutes past. Example: Your wedding time is 4:00p.m. - your allotted time frame begins at 3:40 and goes until 4:40 Guests should not arrive earlier than 20 minutes before your ceremony.
Q. Is there a dressing area provided?
A. Yes. We have two - one for the bride and one for the groom. We ask that all other members of the wedding party come dressed. The bride should plan to arrive 30 minutes early for final preparations only. Hair, make-up, nails and undergarments should be in place so that only slipping into her wedding attire is required. Please do not arrive earlier out of respect for the couple scheduled before you.
