Q: What does an average wedding cost?
A: The cost of a reception at our venues ranges from some events at some CBU locations under $10k to $35,000+ depending on your guest count, venue, date, and menu.
Q: What is the alcohol policy?
A: All alcohol must be purchased through us (we have a few bar packages to choose from). No outside liquor/beer/wine is permitted.
Q: Can you accommodate physically handicapped guests?
A: Yes, all of our venues are ADA compliant.
Q: Can we hold the rehearsal at the venue?
A: Yes, you certainly can. However, with the planning application we have available to all clients, a physical rehearsal is not necessary, saving you time and money. As the date of your wedding approaches, you can coordinate with our planning team for several different reasonably-priced options for rehearsal, subject to availability.
Q: What is your weather contingency backup plan?
A: All outdoor ceremonies are able to take place inside our event spaces as a backup.
Q: Do we have to use the in-house caterer?
A: Yes, when you host an event at one of our venues, you are contracting us for food and beverage services. We offer award-winning cuisine by the area’s top chefs. Our menus are diverse and have a wide range of options including Nigerian, Indian, and Ethiopian cuisine. If there is a menu item you want, ask us and we will make it happen!
Q: Is there a food and beverage minimum?
A: Yes, and the minimum depends on the location and date of your event.
Q: Can I bring in a cake from an outside vendor?
A: Yes, you may bring in a cake from an outside vendor; however, we do have a fantastic in-house baker that makes cakes as delicious as they are beautiful. (Ask to see our wedding cake look book!)
Q: Is there a cake cutting and corkage fee?
A: No, we do not charge a cake cutting or a corkage fee.
