Frequently Asked Questions
What is your capacity?
Harvest Moon can accommodate up to 200 guests (including the bridal party) in both the ceremony, cocktail lounge and reception locations, as well as parking. Please note, the guest count does not change the price of the venue rental!
What is your down payment?
To secure your date, the initial down payment of 25% of the package price is required. Initial deposits are non-refundable, and they go towards your venue rental total. The remaining venue balance is due 1 month before your wedding date. We do offer payment plans!
Do prices included taxes and fees?
YES!! We are not in the business of surprising people with built up hidden expenses at the end, so all of our packages include ALL taxes and fees! The price you see is the price you pay!
What is your alcohol policy?
Please reach out to us for information regarding our alcohol policy!
When can I have my rehearsal?
If you choose a one day package, you are able to have your rehearsal for an hour on Thursday to run through the ceremony. *Please note, depending on the weddings booked your weekend, the Harvest Moon staff will send you options for timing.
If you choose the weekend package, you are able to have your rehearsal at any time on Friday and also have the option (free of cost) to eat dinner in the cocktail lounge!
Do you have preferred vendors?
We have a list of preferred vendors that we highly recommend and will make your day smooth and seamless! However you may choose to bring in any vendor you'd like for catering, DJ, etc. If you do so, we do ask that they make a site visit prior to your event! (The only exception to this is bartending as all alcohol consumed on our property MUST go through our licensed bartenders!) Caterers MUST show proof of license and insurance!
Who sets up tables and chairs for my event?
The Harvest Moon staff will set up the tables and chairs. You will have a final sit-down or phone call with us 2-3 weeks from your event to discuss table placement and layout as well as final guest count. Our staff will also take down all tables and chairs so no need to worry about this after the event!
What help is provided on and leading up to my wedding day?
When a couple books, they immediantly receive our Harvest Moon Wedding Guide. This is a detailed 20 page PowerPoint with checklists for each space, recommendations, floor plans, venue need-to-knows, and much more! We pride ourselves on our incredibly quick response to all questions our couples reach out with! We also have event staff at each wedding to ensure everything with the venue goes smoothly. We have recently added the option to add on for an additional fee our personal "Day of Coordinator"! Find more details about this under "Services"!
What if it rains the day of my wedding?
Typically, we will plan for an outdoor ceremony. In the event that the weather does not cooperate, we have the option to move the ceremony inside and our staff will do a room flip following the ceremony during your cocktail/appetizer hour. This is a complimentary service with your venue rental.
Are pets allowed?
Harvest Moon DOES allow your furry family members to be a part of your special day! We do ask that you clean up after them. Please note: This applies to the bride and groom ONLY.
Do you allow Sparkler send-offs?
Yes! Not only do we allow sparkler send offs, we highly encourage them as the memories and pictures are amazing!! We do NOT allow fireworks anywhere on or near our property!
Do you require event insurance?
Yes we do require event insurance! You are responsible for purchasing day-of-event insurance and naming Harvest Moon as additionally insured. We are able to help you in the process if needed! This is relatively cheap and greatly protects you the day of!
CanI bring in my own decorations?
Absolutely! We love when couples bring in their own decor or DIY projects that makes their special day unique! We do have a lot of greenery, candles and 2 separate photo walls included in the price as well as florals, centerpieces and miscellaneous decor available to rent for a small fee!
Do you offer linen rental?
Yes! We do have table linens and linen napkins available for rent!
What overnight accommodations are available?
Harvest Moon is conveniently located 6 minutes from the nearest hotels. The Hampton Inn & Suites, The Wyndym and Quality Inn are all popular options! We also have awesome local Air BnB's that we highly recommend within 15 min or under from the venue! Find them on the "About" page!
We plan to have our ceremony offsite.Does your fee change?
You have exclusive access to the venue for the day, therefore we do not charge an additional fee for holding your ceremony onsite, nor do we lower the price if you choose to have it offsite.
Can vehicles be left overnight?
Our preference is that cars be removed from the parking lot the day of the event, HOWEVER if someone cannot drive it is MUCH better to leave a vehicle parked and come back in the morning. We do require that if this happens, the vehicle(s) is moved by 10:00 AM, as we may need the parking for an event the following day.
