BRIGADOON COVE RATES AND PAYMENT POLICIES

There is a non-refundable $500 booking fee required to hold your date.  The booking fee will be applied toward your total balance.  Payment in full is due 60 days prior to your wedding date.  Weddings bookings are not refundable.  Payments are accepted via check, cash, or money order.  We also require a fully refundable $500 cleaning/damage deposit, which will be returned promptly once the cove and cottage or house have been determined to be clean and intact.  The cleaning/damage deposit can be sent with your final payment.  All policies apply.

 

Brigadoon Wedding packages include EXCLUSIVE USE of the Brigadoon Cove and Cottage property for the entire day of the wedding.  These packages also include your wedding officiant, bride's mixed bouquet and groom's matching boutonniere, and some really lovely photography (both ceremony and posed) provided on CD 2-3 weeks after your wedding day.

BRIGADOON COVE POLICIES

Ok, here it is: all that unpleasant-but-necessary "No" stuff...  No smoking, No sharp-heeled shoes, No pets, - please tell your guests when you send your invitations!  No smoking.  We are in the mountains on the forest floor.  The danger of fire is just too risky to permit smoking, so please inform your smoking friends that they will need to refrain for the duration of your ceremony.  Also, because of the natural terrain, which is uneven, sloping, stony and unpaved, certain women's shoe styles can present problems.  Flats or walking shoes are certainly the most appropriate attire.  Should you or your guests insist on heels, be sure they are a minimum of 1.5" square at the base.  Regrettably, it is inadvisable to admit women in 'spiked' heels to the Cove, but they are welcome to stand at the entrance or on the road to witness your wedding.  This is for the safety of all our guests.  Ditto smoking.  (Did we mention No Smoking?)

We heartily recommend that you assign clean-up duties to one specific person, or you'll find that no one does it! 

Only registered guests are permitted on the property after 7:00pm.  (Thanks for understanding.)  The Cottage does sleep 4 and the Creek House does sleep 8, so if you are planning a gathering of more than just the two of you, you'll just need to register all the guests ahead of time and we'll be all set.  We do not charge extra for this.

IN CASE OF RAIN

If there is a light rain, we do provide white wedding umbrellas for you and your guests.  These umbrellas are generously proportioned at five feet wide, so they give abundant coverage for a couple (or small family!) and we will also be on hand to wipe down each bench and insure that folks have a clean dry place to be seated.  Because the cove is sheltered with towering hardwood trees, it takes a harsh downpour to render it unusable.

In the event of such uncooperative weather, we will help coordinate the relocation of the wedding ceremony to your reception venue, at no additional cost to you.  Bride & Groom may still dress here at Timberwolf Creek and have a photo shoot indoors prior to the leaving for the reception site.  In this case, the photographer will accompany you to the site and take pictures of the actual ceremony.  Price will remain the same. 

Because we allow you EXCLUSIVE USE of the property for the day, it is certainly within your discretion to postpone your ceremony until later in the day to take advantage of more pleasant weather. 

Wedding reservations are not refundable. We do request, because of the time and expense involved, that wedding packages are prepaid, by check or money order, within 30 days of making your reservation. Reservations made within 30 days are payable immediately. For your convenience, you may charge the nonrefundable deposit (one night's stay) to your credit card.
