In the case of potential inclement weather, your wedding specialist will make a final decision regarding outdoor venues. This will be made four hours in advance of the start of the event. Your event will be automatically moved to the indoor location if: the forecast exceeds 30% chance of precipitation; the heat index exceeds 95º; the wind chill is below 65º, as reported on weatherunderground.com. If your event is moved, it may result in some of your rental items not being used. Cancellation fees will apply.
