Couples do not need a liquor license unless they are selling the alcohol to their guests eg: a cash bar.  Our staff will refill your beverage tubs as needed, but does serve the alcohol - guests may self-serve, or couples may hire a bartender through their caterer if desired. We have a cute bar to display your wine.

Couples are welcome to provide their own alcohol. We will provide wine glasses, champagne flutes, bottle openers, beverage tubs, and ice. (Most of our couples find that buying their own alcohol at Sam's club or Costco etc, is much more affordable than purchasing it through their caterer).  Beer, Wine, Champagne and very limited hard liquor are permitted

Yes.  Our floral package is perfect for a couple who wants pretty flowers, in a specific color scheme.  Most couples give us their likes and dislikes (eg: I love Hydrangea, please don't include any lilies) and their color scheme - eg: White / Ivory /Blush with some greenery. And our florist takes it from there.  Couples who prefer a more hands on approach can decline our floral package (we'll refund it from your bill) and provide their own!
