Question 1

What is your maximum capacity?

Accepted Answer

Our space can accommodate up to 200 guests.

Question 2

How long do we have the venue for?

Accepted Answer

You will have full and exclusive access to the venue from 9:00 AM - 11:59 PM.

Question 3

Can we host both our ceremony and reception at your location?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! Our flexible event space can be transformed to suit your needs. Whether you envision an indoor ceremony followed by a reception, or just the ceremony or just reception, we can make that happen!

Question 4

Are there any nearby accommodation options for guests?

Accepted Answer

Yes, indeed! There are many nearby hotels within walking distance for you and your guests.

Question 5

Do you have a bridal suite/getting ready space?

Accepted Answer

Of course! We have two getting ready suites conveniently located on opposite sides of the venue for you and your partner to get ready in!

Question 6

Do you have any preferred vendors we can work with?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we do! We've curated a list of trusted vendors who share our commitment to excellence. From photographers to florists, we'll connect you with the best in the industry to ensure your wedding day is nothing short of spectacular.

*You are able to bring in your own vendors without any hidden vendor fees. You do NOT have to select vendors from our Recommended Vendor List.

Question 7

Can we have our rehearsal at your venue too?

Accepted Answer

We offer a discount for day before set-up/rehearsals if the day before your event is still available 60 days before your event.

If our space is not available the day before your event, many wedding parties rehearse offsite at their dinner location, a church, or even someones backyard. Many times parties rehearse the morning of the wedding and the bride doesn't attend. She knows where she walks and who is meeting her at the end of the aisle, so she remains in the bridal suite while everyone else runs through a short practice.

Question 8

Will a staff member be present during my event?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we will have an Event Day Venue Manager (EDM) present during your event. There is a staff member that is onsite the entire day to ensure everything runs smoothly with the venue.

They are NOT a coordinator. Their first priority is to make sure that the venue is in tip-top shape, but they will be there to help and answer questions as needed!

Question 9

What kind of events can you host in your space?

Accepted Answer

Our space is incredibly versatile and can accommodate a wide range of events. From weddings and receptions to corporate gatherings, birthday parties, and everything in between, we're equipped to host virtually any type of event you have in mind.

Question 10

How long can we party?

Accepted Answer

Certainly! While we want you to enjoy every moment of your celebration, we do ask that music be turned off by 10:30 PM on Friday's and Saturday's and by 10:00 PM on Sunday's or weekdays in consideration of our neighbors and local noise regulations. Your rental period concludes at 11:59 PM, granting you plenty of time to clean up everything following your event.

Question 11

Who is responsible for set-up and tear down?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! We're here to make your event as seamless as possible. Our team will take care of setting up the tables and chairs according to your customized floor plan. We offer various floor plan options that you can personalize to suit your vision for your event.

You are responsible for disposing of all trash in the designated receptacles within the venue. Additionally, please ensure that all items brought in for decoration, such as linens and decor, are removed from the premises. Chairs should be neatly stacked on top of the tables at the end of your event. While we do expect the property to be left in a similar condition to how it was found, excluding standard cleaning services, we have professional cleaners who conduct thorough cleaning after each event. This way, you can focus on enjoying your celebration while we take care of the rest!

Question 12

Can I or a family friend do the catering?

Accepted Answer

While we typically recommend professional catering services for a smoother experience, we understand if you have a specific vision in mind. If you choose to proceed with your own catering or enlist the help of a family friend, we can accommodate your request with the following guidelines:

An additional $500 refundable damage deposit will be required.
A certificate of liability insurance provided by the client is mandatory. This can be obtained through various means, including a homeowners policy extension (subject to carrier approval), an event policy, or a separate general liability policy.

**All of the above requirements would also apply to an uninsured or unlicensed caterer.

These measures ensure that your event runs smoothly and safely while allowing you to bring in your own food. If you have any further questions or would like to discuss this in more detail, please feel free to reach out.

Question 13

What is your cancellation policy?

Accepted Answer

We encourage anyone not to book until they are certain of the date and price. We do not offer refunds for cancellations.

Question 14

Do you allow date transfers?

Accepted Answer

Any date transfer request is at the sole discretion of Paper Mill. If allowed, a transfer fee may be required.

Question 15

Do you offer payment plans?
