receptions, and honeymoons.

to any neighbours.

for the bride and groom who wish to exchange their vows in an
outdoor setting yet want all the amenities of a home.

A 3 night booking is required to host a wedding.
- The rate is $1500.00 to rent
the house and grounds, including the lawns and parking areas.
-
- There is a cleaning charge of
$250.00, which covers the house cleaning, grounds maintenance,
and the Hot tub.

is applicable at 6%.

Check-in and Check-out
times:
If guests are checking out the morning of your arrival, check-in
will be at 5:00 to ensure the house and grounds are ready for
you. (This time might be adjustable depending on circumstances.)
The rented marquis tent, tables, chairs, etc. could be delivered
and set up anytime after 11:00 which is the check-out time for
prior guests.
-
- Any activity inside the home
would have to wait for the cleaners to be finished.
Insurance:
Commercial General Liability Insurance with Liquor Coverage is
required from an independent insurer.
-
- You will need this to cover
your extra guests (anyone not on the Guest Registration form)
as well as liquor coverage for the duration of your event. Please
allow for processing time period.

familiar with this type of insurance:

Other Insurance:
Our liability insurance covers the guests who are registered

house.
Weekend Liability Insurance is available as an extension of your
Homeowner's Policy. This is to cover your guests who may be staying
longer than the time period stated on your Commercial General
Liability Special Event Insurance Policy, and are not listed
on our Guest Registration form.

to serve alcohol.

R.C.M.P.
The Liquor Licence application must be submitted to the R.C.M.P.
so they are aware that an event is taking place.
Entertainment Plans:
Confirmation of entertainment plans is required. Acoustic music
is welcome but no amplified music is allowed. There is a noise
curfew of 10:00 pm to preserve the quiet in the neighbourhood.
Guest Parking:
-
- There is plenty of parking if
guests park fairly close together. A second parking area could
serve well for the Caterers, Tent company, etc. Car-pooling is
a good idea wherever possible.
- Marquis Tents for rent:

- Titanium Tents 478 - 2440 or
toll-free 1 866-391-8368.

- Portaloo Hire:
Weddings over 25 guests must rent a portable outhouse.
-
- All properties in this area
are on wells. The amount of water required for guests' flushing
of toilets cannot be supported. We do not want you to run out
of water during your wedding so renting a portable toilet is
a good solution.
Weddings under 25 guests are not required to hire a portable
outhouse, but must be encouraged to conserve as much as possible.
