RULES AND FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

Rule Number One: Relax and have fun!

Click on the drawing below for a rough draft of the layout of the ranch. .

Not sure, just ask!

We allow outside caterers, live bands and alcohol. These issues are addressed in our contract.

We do allow tents from rental companies. (Check the facility photo gallery to view one to understand size, etc.) Tents must be fire retardant and meet requirements and guidelines established by the fire marshal. The host will be responsible for any damage to the grounds from the installation, use or removal of tent structure.

Ranch owner John Ford is available to operate his sound system and music for both reception and ceremony, inside or outside. Most couples bring their own ceremony music, burned on CD. Any special songs for the reception, it is best to burn to CD. We have found the CD to be of better quality for outdoor ceremonies. You can also check with John, as we have a library of 1600 wedding songs, and we may have the songs you are looking for. The system can also handle Ipods. Please note that CDs have a better sound than Ipods with this system.The system includes a microphone and features additional plugs for up to four items. Because John does have a full time job, he is not available for rehearsals.

Charge: $200.00.

We ask that you give the ranch 24 hour notice to schedule appointments/deliveries in connection with your event, such as florists, rental companies, etc. The building does have an alarm system which must be activated by Wild Turkey personnel. And often there are other events scheduled which can not be interrupted.

All rental equipment must be picked up or delivered the day prior or day after the event. In most cases, there is an event following yours, and rental equipment needs to be removed. We are not responsible for damage to rental items. If the ranch must relocate these items off-site, due to another event, the host's deposit will be forfeited.

We ask that weekend events end by midnight. Weekday events by 11:00 p.m.

Drink responsibly.

DJ's, Rental Companies, Caterers - Please do not drive or park on the lawn.

There is a $35 charge for returned checks.

Smoking is allowed in the meeting room (or not, depending on the host). However, we ask that guests enjoying the outdoors, please use the outdoor ashtrays provided. Please do not smoke in the stable area.

A representative will be allowed on site during the event. This representative will be responsible for opening/closing facility, final inspection and activating the alarm system. Any damage should be reported to this representative.

The host is responsible for the actions of all guests and contracted vendors. Guests may not bring or take any alcohol from the premises.

If using an outside caterer, please let them know there is no garbage disposal and that no food may be put down the drain.

If you attach decorations to the wooden wall - you may use staples but they must be removed! For drywall, we ask that you use "U-Stickem" or some kind of adhesive that does not adhere to the wall.

ALL candles must have candle holders. NO free-standing candles can be burned. Please don't make me scrape wax.

No fireworks of any type inside barn area, including sparklers.

Throwing bird seed is permitted outside the facility.

No holes may be made on drywall. We recommend something similar to "U Stick Em." However, the rustic wood walls can handle small staples.

Aren't you sick of rules? I know I am.

Final Rule: Relax and have fun!

TIPS:

You may want to tie balloons on the mailbox
as it makes it easier for guests to locate your event.
If you are handling your own catering, please remember items
like ice, bottle openers, and cake/food serving utensils.
If you have candles, don't forget the matches!
And remember - have a good time!
