Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How long is the wait?

There is no wait! If you know when you would like to get married, we can check our calendar for availability. If the date/time you prefer is on hold, we can reach out to you if the other couple/group decides not to book.

Do you have space for a reception?

This depends on your vision. If you would like to reserve the Garden Patio for light appetizers, it is a great spot. If you want a sit-down meal, we have a list of spaces nearby we can recommend on our vendor list.

Can you reserve both Chapels?

The time slots of the Chapels are staggered to accommodate staffing needs and maximize our availability. However, you are welcome to rent both chapels at the same time with the overlapping time frame(s). You would be charged the full rate for each.

How long are the ceremony time slots?

In the Main Chapel, the time slots are 2 hours and 45 minutes (1.75 hours). In the Garden Chapel, the time slots are 2 hours and 30 minutes (1.5 hours).

Am I allowed to add time to my reservation to make it longer?

You are permitted to add time in quarter-hour (15 minute) increments, up to one hour. If you need more time than this, we require you to pay for a second time slot on either end of your reservation.
