ChecklistA
We know as a bride you’re going to have
many questions for us as your big day approaches!
We have taken the time to write out
some questions and answers about our venue to help you plan accordingly!
Of course, we expect that you will have
many more questions as your planning begins and we are more than happy to help
answer those for you!
Shelly has worked with and talked with
vendors out at our property and can offer assistance lining up appointments and
pointing you in the direction of vendors that match your ideas for your wedding
day!

Q&A Time h
1.
Do you have our date open?
That’s a great question! Our answer is:
WE HOPE WE DO! As soon you have a date in mind, please give us a call , email
or text so we can check our calendar and
hopefully add your special day to our books!
2.
Will we have exclusive use of the venue
during our wedding?
YES! We do not double book events at
Tranquility Hollow. So whether you are booking a wedding, birthday party,
bridal shower, or a family get together, you will be the ONLY event on the
property!
3.
How many people can you accommodate?
We have a couple different popular
options for a ceremony site, and can comfortably accommodate 100-125 people. Of
course if you have a few more people in mind, don’t count us out! Talk to us
and we may have options to set up extra chairs if need be!
4.
What is the fee for renting our venue?
For this answer I’m going to direct to
our wedding package details page! Click

5.
Do you allow throwing of rice/confetti or
sparklers at the ceremony?
We
prefer you throw birdseed to feed our feathered friends (they like sunflower
seeds best)! We also like blowing
bubbles. We have lots of wooded areas
here and need to be extra careful with Sparklers. If the county has not issued a “burn ban”,
sparklers will be allowed but with rules about lighting and where to dispose of
them.
6.
Are there any restrictions on
photography/videography during the ceremony?
NO! We want you to remember your
special day with as many pictures and videos as possible! Your photographer
will have access to your ceremony and lots of opportunities for some magical photos
to be shared that day! We strongly suggest
that if your photographer/videographer has not yet been to Tranquility Hollow,
that they set up a time to come tour the property with you (or on their own if
need be) so they are comfortable with our venue and can get an idea of what all
they’ll be working with! We also know how popular photobooths are becoming and
have a few of those who are more than excited to work with events at our venue!
7.
How
big is your parking area?
We are in the process of building a bigger
parking area and by mid-summer 2013, we will have plenty of space to
accommodate your guests.
8.
Can we use any vendor or do you have
specified vendors that we have to use?
We have no restrictions about which
vendor you use! We do have a list of vendors available for you that have been
to our property and are comfortable setting up out here! For more information
about this, you can call Shelly and work out some of the details! Again, if you
use a vendor that has NOT been here yet, we ask that you make sure they come
out and take a tour before the big day so we all know that they can make it
here and set up without a problem!
9.
What about music? Do you have a stage,
sound system, or dance floor that we can use on our wedding day?
We have many options when it comes to
DJ’s and live music that you can hire at your choosing! There are several options
as to where they can set up, and as far as a dance floor we have open spaces
that you can designate as a “dancing area”! We do not supply a separate “floor”
to dance on though.
10. What
time can the band/DJ play until?
We ask that receptions end by midnight
and all the vendors be gone by 1AM. If
you anticipate their packing up will take longer, then the reception should end
earlier.
11.
Do you allow fireworks or candles at the
ceremony/reception?
Conditional use of Sparklers is allowed
(see #5 above). No other fireworks are
allowed. Candles enclosed in glass
chimneys may be used on level, stable surfaces.
12. Are
there any noise restrictions?
We
have a few neighbors who may be able to hear the celebration, however, at this time
we do not anticipate it becoming an issue, as long as the volume is
“reasonable”. Other than music, if there
are other type of “noise” you require, that should be discussed with the
management in advance.
13.
Do I need to obtain any permits or
insurance for the wedding?
Each of your vendors will need to
provide us with a proof of insurance certificate at least 10 days before your
wedding day.
14. Is
there a bridal room and or grooms suite?
Absolutely! Again, I’m going to direct
you to our photo page and you can view the online gallery of photos with
pictures of where you and your wedding party will be getting ready! Feel free
to share the photos with friends and family as well!
