Flex Package $1500
Looking for a bit more flexibility on your wedding weeked? Your rehearsal time may not

This upgrade allows for a rehearsal time of your choosing on Friday (10am-6pm). In addition,
you are able to leave your décor/personal items until Sunday for pick up instead of taking
everything with you the night of your wedding. You will have a prearranged 2 hour pick up
window on Sunday during which all belongings will be picked up. This makes for a much more
relaxing time for you and your family the week of your wedding! *Please note that this does
not change the “Use of Property” times outlined on page 1 beyond what is described above
Ceremony Curtains in Aisle of Trees $1350
Want to add a flare of drama and romance to your ceremony? Our custom curtains will do the
