Frequently asked questions

Can we have the ceremony and reception at different times on the same day?

Yes. The property has flexible ceremony timing (sunrise through sunset options) and separate indoor/outdoor reception spaces, allowing 2-4 hour gaps for guest transitions and photography sessions.

What's included in venue fees versus additional costs?

Venue rental typically includes ceremony space and basic tables/chairs. Catering, bar service, room blocks, and special setup requests are charged separately. Contact the venue directly for itemized packages.

How does the venue handle weather contingencies?

Multiple covered terraces and an indoor reception hall provide backup options. The venue recommends scheduling flexibility (2-3 day windows) during spring/fall for optimal backup timing.

Are there accommodation options for guests with mobility constraints?

The property has ground-floor rooms and elevator access, though some ceremony terraces involve stairs. Discuss accessibility needs during initial consultation to confirm feasibility.

What's the latest we can extend celebrations?

Music/noise restrictions apply after 23:00 per local regulations. Most receptions run 18:00-22:30. Late-night dancing can continue indoors with sound limits or move to private rooms.
