Yes. Event Insurance is required for all of our events. For more information regarding our Insurance requirements, please review your event contract. Looking for a quick and easy insurance vendor? Visit EventHelper.com for an easy process and competitive rates!

All of our services are subject to a 23% service charge and sales tax. Service charges are an industry standard that help us provide livable wages to our front and back of house service team. In addition, although you will find a breakdown of various charges on your event contract, a service charge helps us cover all of the behind the scenes costs of preparing a world-class event. A service charge is not gratuity. Gratuity can be provided on a voluntary basis.

Once you confirm your event with a signed contract and deposit, you have officially locked in your event date and venue. Contracts and payments are not transferable to another date or venue. Please refer to your contract for more details on cancellation terms.

Yes! You may adjust your guest count and package selections up until 30 days prior to the event. Some enhancements are more difficult to change after confirming, such as floral due to the ordering process. Please inquire with your Wedding Specialist for more information.

planning

We require the use of Landmark Event Co. or partner vendors for the following select categories; Catering, Beverage, Audio/Visual, Transportation, & Security. For all other vendors, we have a list of preferred vendors we highly recommend, or you are welcome to hire your own.

We do not allow the use of glitter, feathers, duct tape, confetti or command strips at any of our venues. Use of these products will result in a cleaning or damage fee. Decor must not be affixed to any ceilings, lighting, walls, etc. of the property without prior approval. The use of candles varies by property, so please inquire about what candles may be used before purchase ( or ask about our candle packages!). All decor must be delivered and picked up within your venue access time.

All venues include cocktail tables, banquet tables, ceremony & reception chairs, plate-ware, glassware, flatware and basic serving equipment. Table linens and napkins must be rented through Landmark Event Co., and are available in a variety of colors. Additional equipment may be required based on the scope of your event.

Typically, venue rentals include 10 consecutive hours of private access. This includes access for you and your vendors beginning about 2-3 hours prior to guest arrival, and at least 1 hour after guests depart for cleaning and load-out of equipment. Need more time? Inquire for a quote!

food & beverage

We do not have a public-facing restaurant, so are unable to provide private tastings. Our kitchen team orders and prepares quality ingredients for the best quality dining experience at your event. We offer quarterly Tasting Events throughout the year, featuring a chef selected menu, beverage selections, and many of our partner vendors so you can sample what we offer!

We require alcohol to be purchased and served through the Landmark Event Co. catering team. Your Wedding Specialist can help select the perfect beverage package to suit your event. Special beverage requests may be sourced for an additional rate, based on availability. This said, outside wines may be provided with a corkage fee of $22/bottle.

In accordance with proper food handling requirements, we are prohibited from allowing leftover food to be taken off-site.

Our menu packages are crafted by our Executive Chef to ensure a quality meal for all guests including those with common dietary considerations. These packages allow you to choose which hors d’oeuvres, salad, sides, and entree(s) you’d like your guests to enjoy. Customizations outside of these selections may be considered, and are subject to an increased price.

For children under 12 years old, we offer a kid friendly meal of chicken strips, mac ‘n cheese and fresh fruit for just $12 per person. Children in attendance under 2 years of age are typically not considered in a meal count.

event day

Typically, the Wedding Specialist you are assigned will be your point of contact on event day, though at times another Specialist will be assigned to your event, depending on our event schedule. Based on your coordination tier, your Specialist may depart after dinner service in which an Event Lead will be introduced and available for any venue or catering questions you may have for the remainder of the event. Inquire directly with your other vendors for best contact information.

When hiring your Wedding Specialist for ceremony or day-of-coordination, we will happily take care of setting simple items such as wedding programs, catering menus, guest book table, party favors, etc. For elaborate decor such as pipe and drape, hanging signage, personal centerpieces, DIY’d installations, etc. you will need to arrange for set-up on your own, hire an outside vendor or assign to friends or family.

Pets are allowed during the ceremony, but must be leashed and cared for at all times. In accordance with proper food handling requirements, pets must depart the venue once food service begins. Landmark Staff reserve the right to request that pets leave if they are causing disruptions or harm to guests or staff. Service animals are allowed at all times.

Some areas of each venue are restricted for safety purposes. Please inquire with your Wedding Specialist about restricted areas to share with your photographer.

Many factors and vendors are taken into account in order to produce a private party. Unfortunately, these factors often limit our ability to accommodate last minute extensions. If you’re considering adding time, please inquire with your Wedding Specialist prior to the event for an extension quote.

A majority of our venues only host one event at a time, though some venues may be able to host multiple events. Please inquire with your Wedding Specialist for more information.
