Frequently Asked Questions
What are the check-in and check-out times for housing?
Check-in is at 2:00 PM and check-out is at 10:00 AM.
Can we get early access to our Bridal Suite on our wedding day?
Yes. If you have accommodations on site the night before, you will be able to access the Bridal Suite as early as you would like on the morning of your wedding. Early access before 9:00 AM is available for $200 per hour.
How much time do we have to remove our belongings after the reception?
You have 30 minutes to remove all decorations and personal items. Friday and Saturday events must be cleared by 10:30 PM, and Sunday events by 9:30 PM.
Can we extend our reception time?
Yes, extensions must be arranged in advance (not as a day-of option). Friday and Saturday events can extend to 11:00 PM for $1,000, and Sunday events can extend to 10:00 PM for $1,000. We encourage parties to consider booking The Lodge or Main House instead of extending.
When will my rehearsal take place?
Since we host weddings every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, rehearsals are scheduled back-to-back on the Thursday before your wedding. Each rehearsal lasts about 30–45 minutes and is separate from any rehearsal dinner you may plan.
Can I host my Rehearsal Dinner at Knotting Hills?
Yes. The rehearsal dinner package is $1,750 and includes access to your reception building and ceremony space from 6:00–9:00 pm. During this time, your party will have its rehearsal run-through and will be able to set-up, enjoy dinner, and complete clean up (including kitchen cleaning and trash removal). Please note, Knotting Hills does not provide food, beverages, table linens, or staff for rehearsal dinners.
Does Knotting Hills provide a Day-of Coordinator or Wedding Planner for the day-of?
No, we don’t provide a Day-of Coordinator or Wedding Planner. We recommend hiring a professional to manage the details of your timeline, while our team ensures the venue and your vendors have everything they need.
When will my Venue Director reach out to me?
Your assigned Venue Director will contact you approximately 3 months before your wedding date to begin finalizing details and answering any questions you may have.
What does a Venue Director do?
Your Venue Director is your main point of contact leading up to and on your wedding day. They assist with logistics, answer questions, and ensure the venue is set up and running smoothly so you can focus on enjoying your celebration.
Do we have to set up and remove our own décor?
Yes. Any décor provided by Knotting Hills will be set up and removed by our team. If you bring in your own décor, your Day-of Coordinator or a designated member of your party will be responsible for both setup and removal.
Can we bring in our own food?
No. All food must come from our list of Approved Caterers. If you wish to use a caterer not on the list, your party must pay a $2,500 fee, and the caterer must provide proof of a business license and insurance and sign our catering agreement.
Does Knotting Hills provide a sound system, or do we need to hire a DJ?
Knotting Hills does not provide a sound system. You are welcome to hire a DJ or live entertainment to bring your celebration to life.
