All 10 acres is yours on your big day. You are welcome to say your vows wherever you wish. We do ask that our garden and chiavari chairs stay on the patio. You are welcome to bring in chairs, benches, or hay bales to create your unique ceremony.
The bridal party are guaranteed the venue at noon. Please plan accordingly. We will have cleaners on-site early on your wedding day for touching up, and I will perform an inspection as well. Your custom linen count will be readied. I will text as soon as the venue is ready. That may be a bit earlier than noon, but I will not know until the day of your wedding. If you have several bridal party members needing hair and makeup and you want to be ready early, please arrange for hair and makeup at a salon or at your hotel. You can still get dressed and take care of last minute touch-ups in the bridal lounge for pictures.
Especially during busy seasons, your vendors may need to drop-off or set-up early. We are happy to accommodate. Just have them reach out to me and I will work it out. Family, Guests and Bridal party may not have access to the venue until it is inspected and cleared day of. Plan for noon. Setup and decorating typically take 60-90 minutes.
You may have noticed that I can make accommodations for professionals to arrive at the venue before the official start time, but I do not allow the bridal party or family in early. This is a common WHY question I am happy to answer. 1)Professionals may be handling several events on the same day, and an early delivery or start may be their only option. 2)Professionals are just that….professional. They arrive with their heads down and ready to complete their to- do list. This is another “day at work” for them, and they are focused on the job at hand. We can work side by side quietly and efficiently. 3) Friends and family ARE 100% emotionally connected with your Big Day, and that is wonderful. If they arrive before our crews are finished, they may be disappointed to find a lightbulb out, or some trash in the parking lot, or a rental company taking down a rented tent. When family arrive before we have finished our preparations, they often slow down the process of us getting the venue perfect for you. You deserve The Best, and we appreciate you giving us the time to properly prepare the venue for you. Please plan for a noon arrival for family and bridal party.
Our policy is the same regardless of the amount of alcohol being served. If any alcohol is going to be consumed, it must be served by a licensed/ insured bartending company. They are usually $25-$40 and hour. If your caterer has their license & insurance to serve they can easily help with your champagne toast.
The short answer is no. We love when friends and family help with your wedding day, and that is reflected in our leniency with coordinating, decorating, flowers, and music vendors. Alcohol is something we want a professional, not a friend, serving. “Even if” very few people are drinking, “even if” you are only serving beer, “even if” you buy a liability insurance policy for your wedding…. you must hire a licensed & insured bartending service. They will let you provide the alcohol and will simply take care of safe serving. Please choose one from my vendor list. This policy is not meant to judge the trustworthiness of your wedding guests. 4 Points is a family-owned business, and we appreciate your kind understanding and adherence to this rule.
Absolutely! 4 Points Farm is now a part of the story of your family. You are welcome to use our property for anniversary, pregnancy, or family photo shoots. Just reach out and I will block time for you!
