24.Is There A “Ready Room” Included In The Wedding Packages?

We recommend utilizing our Resort guestrooms to serve as your ready rooms, which will apply toward a room block if contracted. A Board Room or a Hospitality Suite may also be reserved as an additional space to get ready, starting at $250. All guestrooms are based on availability at the time of contracting the wedding.

  •  If you contract a minimum of $5,000 (before service charge and tax): a complimentary guestroom is included for the night of the wedding. Most couples choose to reserve this room the night before the wedding as well to become a ready room for the morning of.
  • If you contract a minimum of $20,000 (before service charge and tax): a complimentary Presidential Suite is included for the night of the wedding, and an additional night in the Presidential Suite* may be reserved for 50% off the current rate for a two (2) night stay.

25.Do You Offer Special Room Rates For Wedding Guests If I Book A Wedding With You?

Absolutely! Our wedding room blocks are based on availability and seasonality. We require a minimum of twenty (20) contracted rooms per night.

26.Do I Have To Pay For The Rooms In My Room Block In Advance?

No, we do not require any advanced payment for a room block. The only time you will owe the resort money for your room block is if you are in attrition.

27.What Is Attrition?

Attrition is the number of rooms in your contracted room block for which you will not be penalized if unfulfilled. We allow for a twenty percent (20%) nightly decrease in the number of rooms contracted without financial penalty, up to a cut-off date (30 days prior to the check-in date). For example, if you contract twenty (20) rooms, you are financially responsible for filling (“picking up”) a minimum of 16 room nights. The good news is that we count all of your group reservations toward your pick-up; therefore,
if anyone in your room block comes early or stays late, those room nights will count towards attrition!

35.What Is Pif?

A Public Improvement Fee (PIF) is a fee that developers may require their tenants to collect on sales transactions to pay for on-site improvements. The PIF is a fee and NOT a tax; therefore, it becomes a part of the overall
cost of the sale/service and is subject to sales tax. Examples of these improvements include curbs and sidewalks, parking facilities, storm management system (including snow removal), sanitary sewer systems, road development (within the site), and outdoor public plazas.

36.What Is The Deposit?

A 25% deposit of your estimated total is required at the time of contract signing. The remaining 75% is due in installments between contract signing and (14) business days prior to the event.
