What if it rains?
They say a wet knot is harder to untie—and we agree. While weather can feel unpredictable, our outdoor terrace is completely weather-proof, so you can relax knowing your dinner will stay dry and beautiful. We’ve never had to move a celebration indoors due to rain—if anything, it only adds to the magic.
Can I bring my own decor?
Yes, you’re welcome to bring your own decor to personalize your celebration. We love seeing how each couple makes the space their own. We simply ask that all items are installed in a way that protects the venue—no thumbtacks, duct tape, or materials that could cause damage.
Our team is happy to assist with placement guidance or recommend safe alternatives for hanging and display.
