They do not handle any coordination of the event or the production of the host's décor, you may hire a professional for this service.
Do I need to hire a wedding day manager or event coordinator?

While we do not require you to hire a wedding day manager or event coordinator unless your event exceeds 120 person count. We do highly recommend it. These professionals can ensure that all tasks are complete and that the flow of your day is seamless. Our very own Venue Sales and Service director is a certified wedding planner and offers Wedding & Event Management services via Southern Lace Weddings and Events.
Do you have a place for me to get ready?
What do we do during inclement weather?

When planning an outdoor event you should always consider a "plan b". Our facility does include the pavilion which is typically used for the reception part of the events. Couples have utilized this space as their "plan b" by having guests sit at their reception table and performing the ceremony in a centralized location. You may also consult with a local rental company to have a tent placed over the ceremony site or placed elsewhere on the grounds if you would like another option for plan 'b'.
What about pests?

BKP is an outdoor venue, we strive our best to manage Mother Nature including year around pest control and ground maintenance. The week of your event we will fully inspect the venue for any pests that may need to be tended to. Our ground maintenance helps keep bugs and wildlife at our most possible minimum. You may bring bug spray and/or citronella candles/torches to place out around the outside of the venue.
What about décor? Can I decorate the location?
