What is a sole use facility and what does that mean to me?
That’s a very important question, and one often overlooked. Your event is the only function that day. There will not be another event in an adjacent room with competing music or sound systems. You won’t need to worry about sharing the facility or common use areas, such as restrooms, with guests from another function.
When can we start our wedding reception?
We offer a six hour reception. Because we only do one event per facility per day, you are free to plug in your six hours wherever it best suits your schedule that day. Your reception starts when determined by you and indicated on your invitation.
When must we make our final decisions concerning our reception?
Often people change their minds on their menu, timing, cake choice, etc., which you are free to do until ten days before the wedding. At that time, together we will have a sit down meeting to plan your event in great detail. We will coordinate your timing, menu, cake selection, linens selection, seating diagram, and all other aspects of your reception. At this meeting we will also make an appointment for you to deliver to us all the items that will make your reception truly special such as cookies, favors, toasting glasses, cake knife, etc. This appointment usually occurs in the morning before your reception. Final payment is also due at the ten day meeting.
Can we have our wedding ceremony on site?
We often have both the wedding ceremony and reception. The Camelot is located on a five acre, tree-lined lot. The grounds are very private and provide the setting for a beautiful outdoor ceremony. A ceremony on-site makes for a marvelous transition to your reception and celebration.
