Every experience reserves the chapel privately for you. Your start time is when your window opens, and the whole window is yours. Two rules shape the day:
- Your ceremony start time must be at least 30 minutes after your window opens. With the Signature, you would generally want it to start right at that 30-minute mark. With the Premier, you would usually leave an hour ahead of time to set up and let guests arrive.
- Everything wraps by the end of your window — photos on the grounds included. Vendors arrive and depart within the window too.
Your window at a glance
- Intimate — 60 minutes, up to 6 of you.
- Signature — 90 minutes, up to 50 guests.
- Premier — 3.5 hours, 50 guests included (up to 70).
Your exact window start time is on your Couple's Portal. The link is in your welcome text.
The Signature — 90 minutes (example: 2:00–3:30)
- 2:00 — Your window opens. Come on in: the suites are yours from this minute. Vendors arrive and set up; your music lead cues the playlist.
- 2:15 — Guests begin arriving and finding seats.
- 2:30 — Ceremony begins.
- 2:50 — You're married! Ring the bell on your way out. Guests usually head out to the patio, and you, your wedding party, and family stay inside the chapel to start photos.
- If you've added the Refreshment Cart, we will have this on the patio before your ceremony ends so it is ready for guests.
- 3:10 — Mingling with your guests and champagne toast (if added).
- 3:30 — Window closes — everyone (and everything you brought) heads out.
The Premier — 3.5 hours (example: 4:00–7:30)
- 4:00 — Window opens. Settle into the suites. Vendors arrive and setup begins in the chapel.
- 4:30 — Have your photographer capture Getting Ready photos in the suites.
- 4:45 — Vendors and decor in place; guests begin to arrive.
- 5:00 — Ceremony begins.
- 5:20 — You're married! Ring the bell on your way out. Guests usually head out to the patio, and you, your wedding party, and family stay inside the chapel to start photos.
- If you've added the Refreshment Cart, we will have this on the patio before your ceremony ends so it is ready for guests.
- If you've added Sip & Celebrate, we would begin serving the beer & wine you've provided.
- If you're doing charcuterie or serving food with our Grazing Table add-on, this would be the time to start that.
- 5:20–6:00 — While guests are mingling on the patio, you would be getting photos inside the chapel and our outdoor photo areas.
- 6:00–7:15 — At this point, you would join your guests on the patio to mingle and potentially do some of the following:
- Cake cutting
- Champagne toast
- First dances (we have speakers on the Patio)
- 7:15 — Sendoff — sparklers if you've added the Sparkler Send-Off.
- 7:30 — Window closes.

It's priced per hour, every event ends by 10 PM, and you add it from your Couple's Portal. More in Add-ons.
