Guests Welcome only if they Rent a Room for the Wedding Night
This package is for the bride and groom only in attendence. We will allow up to 4 witness guests if they are only on-site forthe wedding and do not consume more amenities than would ordinarily be provided the bride and groom. However, we will gladly allow any guests desired if they become an overnight guest by renting any of our available luxury accommodations for the wedding night. If the overnight rooms are available, up to 6 more are readily accommodated with all the normal B&B free amenities (on three king/queen beds). After all the individual rooms are rented, you can rent sleeping spots for up to 4 more wedding guests (on 2 queen beds shared in two of the rooms you've rented). Increasing your evening guest counts by renting RV slots (bring your own RV) has special considerations and requires your calling to discuss the options.
