A $500 security deposit is required at the time of booking. It will be refunded within 5-7 business days once the venue has been inspected and deemed to be left in the condition in which it was found.

Beer and wine are permitted for adults 21 years of age and older. Alcohol must be served by a licensed and insured bartender. Proof of license and insurance should be submitted to Reid Farm two weeks prior to the event. Last call will be strictly enforced.

 

Are there any limitations on decorations?

As our property is a natural habitat for many plants and animals, we must prohibit loose glitter, confetti, rice, birdseed, potpourri, and other small objects that can spread easily. Nails, screws, tape, and staples are also not allowed on any surfaces. If you have a particular request for decoration, please ask us and we will do our best to accommodate you. Battery-powered candles are preferred. Candles may be used for centerpieces if they are enclosed in containers. Artificial flower petals are not allowed.

 

What are the expectations for cleanup?

We will arrange a specific time that your event must be over. At that time, all guests, vendors, decorations, and any other personal items must be removed from the property. Reid Farm will manage trash throughout the event. Clients are responsible for making sure they have all trash in proper receptacles, and we will remove it from the venue for you.

What will we do in the event of rain?

We want your day to be perfect. If the forecast calls for rain, you may choose to have your ceremony under the pavilion.
