“Having the venue handle the food, bar, tables, chairs, set-up, take down, etc. was SO incredibly helpful in making our day feel as stress free as possible. The food was delicious and well presented and all of our guests had an amazing time!”

LTD typically hosts their concerts every Friday between Memorial Day and Labor Day weekends, with music starting at 6:00pm, and various Saturdays, with music starting at 5:00pm. With a 4:30pm or 5:30pm ceremony start time at the latest, this allows for you to get through your ceremony before any music begins. Once your guests transition to the cocktail hour and reception, your background music usually overpowers any sound coming from the concert. Please be aware that the music can sometimes be heard at our venue and we have no control over their start times. If LTD has a concert that begins earlier than the posted times, we will allow for you to begin your ceremony at least 30 minutes prior to the concert start (which would shift your 5-hour event window up), at no additional venue cost. LTD usually announces their summer concert schedule in the late spring, so we will keep you informed if a concert happens to land on your wedding day, as well as provide arrival instructions to best help you guests avoid any traffic caused by the concert guests arrival.
Music must be turned off outside by 10pm. However, the party and music can continue indoors! You can have your event go until 1am, with our staff leaving by 2am.
