Can I choose my own caterer or bring my own food? Yes!

​

A Note About The Toasts: Alcoholic beverages are allowed on the premises, but any SALE of alcohol is strictly prohibited. There can be NO payment, tipping or paid ticketing systems for alcohol, to align with our village ordinance, or else all security deposits are immediately forfeited. You are welcome to provide free alcohol for your tables. We've also had a bride and groom rent a small, portable bar with two bartenders providing an open (free) bar without tipping.

Wedding Rehearsal availability: As long as no event is booked the day prior to your wedding, TPL is available for a one hour rehearsal on your ceremony site the night prior to your wedding, either from 5-6pm or 6-7pm. For fully-booked weekends, wedding rehearsals are Wednesday and Thursday evenings from 5-6pm or 6-7pm.

 

When can we decorate? Your decorating team is able to decorate during the rental timeframe to avoid conflicts with other events. You may decorate during your wedding rehearsal if it is the night before your wedding. For safety reasons, no decorating is allowed on the tent itself or its parts.

​

What can my guest do between the ceremony and reception? We have wagon rides available at an additional cost, mini-golf included in the ceremony+reception package, a wooded hiking trail loop that connects to our paths that offer a walk around the horse paddocks and over the covered bridge to the sheep paddocks.

 

Are there bathrooms onsite? Yes, there are two guest bathrooms attached to the Clubhouse/Bridal Chambers, and one private, indoor bathroom reserved for the bridal party. They will be stocked with toilet paper, soap and paper towels. If you would prefer to rent a portable restroom to be located right outside the tent, you are welcome to do so -- just let us know so we can help you with placement.

​

Where can guests park? For simplicity on your invitations, we recommend using our Menomonee Avenue address and letting them know that there is overflow parking available on Maple Road for those who would like to enjoy a scenic walk to the ceremony and reception. For your awareness, We have two parking areas available to wedding guests: a two-lane grass lot off of our Menomonee Avenue entrance, which is nearest to the ceremony and tent, and two paved parking lots off our Maple Road entrance, which involve a nice walk to the wedding site. The gravel road that leads to the covered bridge and horse paddocks is for ranch personnel use only (and is also closed for the safety of wagon rides that may take place there). Vendors must enter on Menomonee Avenue to park. Our Menomonee Avenue entrance address is N84W19100 Menomonee Ave, Menomonee Falls, WI, 53051.

​

Where should I tell my vendors to enter and park? All vendors should enter ONLY using our Menomonee Avenue address/entrance. There is no vehicle access allowed to get to the tent/reception from our Maple Road entrance, as the gravel roads around the horse paddocks and over the bridge are for ranch personnel, wagon rides and walking only on wedding days. We recommend allowing your photographer and DJ to park in the Bridal Chambers parking lot (this building is also known as The Clubhouse) on Menomonee Avenue, which has eighteen spots available, two of which are handicap spaces. For vendors that will be arriving later (for example, the caterers), they should enter on Menomonee Avenue only and park on the grass between the tent and grass parking lot.

​

Can my guests and I feed the animals or go inside the paddocks, even if familiar with horses and sheep? No, no one except TPL staff are permitted to touch, feed the animals or enter the paddocks or stables, for the safety of all people and animals and out of respect to our animal owners.

​

What time does the property open/close for us? 10:00 AM to Midnight on your wedding day

​

What if it rains? You are welcome to host your ceremony in the reception tent, as a rain contingency.

​

What if we aren't out on time? Please plan ahead with all the help needed to be out on time. We may have other events counting on it!

​

TPL is not liable for any incidents or injuries that are incurred while on our property.
