INTIMATE EVENTS & WEDDINGS

• A four-five hour duration is assumed for your wedding/event.
• A longer duration would need to be approved by Rodney and Robin prior to the event, and it may involve an additional cost.
• All event guests must be off the property by 10pm.

Pictures may be taken onsite on a date other than your wedding date as long as they are scheduled ahead of time during a weekday/evening when the property is not otherwise rented.  Robin will work with you to select a date that will work with your schedule and The Palms rental schedule.

Caterers and Decorators may visit The Palms to view the property for decoration/catering planning prior to the event.  A preview date will need to be scheduled with Robin on a weekday/evening when the property is not otherwise rented.

• Renters are free to decorate the back patio and yard for their event
• Renters are responsible for their own Decorations, Setup, and Tear Down
• Tents may NOT be anchored in the backyard - this is because stakes could rupture the septic system
• A rented tent may be erected on the back patio.. it must be secured so the wind cannot blow it off the patio.

• Parking is limited to a maximum of 20 cars.
• Approximately 10 cars may be parked inside the gate in the driveway in designated spaces.
• The remaining cars will need to park outside the gate on the grass on the same side of the road as the property with all wheels/mirrors off the roadside. Cars parked across the street are subject to towing, as it is a No Parking area.
• It is your responsibility to ensure that guests are parked correctly

• Due to nearby neighbors, bands may not perform - let us know if this is an issue for your event, and we may be able to work something out.
• CD, iPod, or Aux music may be played and can be piped into the back patio and backyard speakers.
• Softer music, such a harp or guitar, may be played.
• Please note that the park next door makes their closing announcements over a loud speaker at sunset. These announcements can be heard at The Palms - you will want to time your ceremony so that your vows are not occurring when the announcement is made

• All visiting guests must be off the property when quiet hours begin
