Your Event Sales Manager will arrange a ceremony rehearsal for you and your wedding party. Rehearsal times and location are confirmed up to three (3) weeks prior to your wedding and set at a time that does not interfere with other on-site events.

Your Event Sales Manager will assist with the detailing and planning aspects of your wedding as they relate to the hotel and our staff. It is very strongly recommended that you hire, at the very least, a day-of event planner for any additional needs such as off-property ceremony assistance, set-up of your personal items, or event décor and design.

You are not required to work with the vendors on our recommended vendor list; however, we have these recommendations for you as they are trusted, insured professionals who are familiar with our property and standards. If you do elect to bring in your own vendors, we will require a copy of their liability insurance (COI).

To ensure that every detail is handled in a timely manner, menu selections and specific details must be finalized four (4) weeks prior to your function. Your final guest count guarantee is due seven (7) days prior to your wedding.
