General
-
How far in advance should we book?
We recommend booking 6–12 months in advance for larger events and holiday parties. Smaller social events may have greater flexibility depending on availability.
-
Are tours available beforehand?
Yes. We encourage prospective clients to schedule a personalized site tour to view event spaces, guest accommodations, and resort amenities.
-
What deposit is required, when is the balance due, and what's your cancellation policy?
Deposit requirements vary based on the type and size of the event. Most events require a signed contract and an initial deposit to secure the space. Final guest counts and payment schedules are outlined in the contract, and cancellation terms will be reviewed during the booking process.
-
Can we host both indoor and outdoor portions of our event on-site, and what's the backup plan for bad weather?
Yes. Many groups combine indoor and outdoor spaces for receptions, dinners, ceremonies, and activities. In the event of inclement weather, indoor backup space is reserved and coordinated with your event team.
-
What's the capacity for a seated dinner, cocktail reception, or dance party?
Capacities vary by venue. Our largest space, the Ballroom, can accommodate approximately 350 guests banquet-style, while smaller venues are ideal for more intimate gatherings. We're happy to recommend the best space based on your guest count and event style.

Reunions

What lodging options work best for keeping our family/group together?

We can also create a custom online booking link, making it easy for your guests to reserve accommodations within your group block.
