Yes, we require a 30% deposit for the total wedding venue and lodging costs and $1,000 refundable deposit for incidentals. Your contract will include clear refundable deposit parameters. The venue deposit ensures that your wedding dates are held on our calendar, as well as the property being left in acceptable condition upon check out. The full parameters of what the deposit covers, and reasons we may hold part or all of your deposit, will be outlined in your wedding venue contract terms.
