We pride ourselves on having no hidden fees for our couples. You will never see us charging couples to cut the cake, pop champagne, or pay extra for dinnerware. We have very few fees to begin with, and we are upfront and honest about them, as they are all listed in our venue contract signed by all couples:

- If an outside, third-party wedding coordinator is hired for the day, we charge a $750 fee for our extra labor and for convenience reasons. We provide a day-of coordination team and offer wedding planning help, included in your cost.

- A 3% fee is added for all credit card payments. We are charged this by the bank, so it is only to cover for lost finances on our end. This only applies to credit card payments-- not debit cards.

- If a reception dinner table must be added at the last minute, a charge of $16.65 will be applied per table for the extra linen(s). We press our linens using a commercial press machine, which takes time and labor. We press the number of linens accounted for (at no additional charge) when your final seating chart is sent to us, minimum two weeks prior to wedding day.


Yes, we provide day-of coordination services and wedding planning help throughout your planning process. This is a service we offer free of charge, and we actually ask that our couples do not hire a third-party wedding planner/coordinator, simply because we know our property inside and out and go above and beyond for our couples.


Of course you can! Our getting-ready suites will still be open and available morning-of for you and your bridal party to get ready before heading over to the church. We will simply build around the offsite ceremony for your custom timeline creation and prepare for a hard-start cocktail hour, during which your guests' arrival begins cocktail hour.


We only allow open-flame candles for floating candles. Otherwise, we use artificial battery-operated candles for any candle decor.


Our required security deposit is separate from all venue/catering payments. A required security/damage deposit of $500 is to be paid via check at the rehearsal. The purpose of this payment is to cover any serious damage or liability if any guests get inappropriate or out of hand on wedding day. Examples include: sexually harassing our staff, getting physical with staff or other guests to the point that security must physically intervene, damage to property (e.g. driving and crashing our golf carts, punching a hole in the wall), causing an avoidable biohazard (e.g. throwing up due to intoxication), bringing and doing illicit drugs on property, etc. Our goal is to mail the check back to you the following business day. We rarely keep the security deposit, but it works as a retainer in case things get out of hand.


Yes! We are contracted with a private third-party security company so we are able to have security at each and every event here at the Manor at Mountain View. This is so that everyone feels safe-- couple, guests, and staff alike. Want a photo with the security guard? All you have to do is ask!


We do! Actually, we prepare all your decor, layout, linens, and dinnerware in the weeks ahead, and begin getting everything together one to two weeks prior. We set up the first wedding of the weekend during the week. Once that wedding ends, we begin setting up for the next day's wedding that night, and so on. We finish setting up the details day-of and show you photos of the property while you get ready to put any nerves at ease.


Every wedding day is allotted thirteen hours. For example, we may let you into the getting-ready suites at 9:00am if the wedding ends at 10:00pm, we can let you in at 8:00am if the wedding ends at 9:00pm, etc.


We allow weddings-- from the ceremony's start to the reception's end-- to be six hours, no more. This often means a ceremony start at 4:00pm and reception end at 10:00pm, a ceremony start at 3:00pm and reception end at 9:00pm, and so on. 


All weddings have the option to end at 10:00pm, no later-- still following the 13-hour day and 6-hour reception format.
