Answers to Your
Frequently Asked Questions
What happens in the event of rain or bad weather?
We have a few different options for indoor ceremonies in case it rains on your big day! We also have indoor options for cocktail hour! During your tour, we can go over your options and help you choose a backup plan that best suits your needs and vision.
Can I bring my own vendors?
Yes! We have a preferred vendor list that is full of vendors we know, trust, and have on file for insurance. However, if you have your heart set on a vendor we don’t have on our list, that is no problem! For vendors not on our list, they must be licensed and insured, and show proof of this no less than 60 business days before event.
Is my pet allowed on the property for our ceremony?
If guidelines are followed, then YES! We require a few things to make this a possibility. Your dog must be crated immediately following the wedding ceremony and photo session and taken off property. You are also required to use one of the licensed and insured day-of pet care services listed in our exclusive vendor list. No pets are allowed in the main building or the Honeymoon House for any amount of time, crated or not. More specific details and requirements can be shared upon request! Service animals are excluded from these requirements. Simpson Lakes will make all efforts necessary to reasonably accommodate certified service animals!
Are there any alcohol restrictions?
While alcohol consumption is allowed at the facility, alcohol shall be consumed in a responsible manner. Alcohol shall not be served to anyone under the age of 21 or anyone appearing to be intoxicated. Glass bottles are strictly prohibited. No shots may be poured. Renter is required to hire a licensed and fully insured bartender to serve any alcoholic beverages, and show proof of both certificates at least 60 business days before event. Absolutely no self-serve alcohol of any kind is permitted.
Does the venue ever do more than one event per day?
Nope! The entire day will be all about you and we will be fully dedicated to making your day the very best!
Can we use fireworks or sparklers in our wedding?
A preplanned fireworks show may be scheduled to take place at the end of your event; however, the renter must ONLY use Simpson Lakes licensed and insured vendor to handle any and all explosive fireworks and fireworks demonstrations. Absolutely no outside 3rd party can be in charge.
Sparklers are welcomed as an exception for bride and groom grand exits following wedding receptions. All sparklers must be lit by Simpson Lakes staff ONLY and must be disposed of in a safe manner in a sand bucket provided by the venue.
