Everything you need to know for your special day at the Canal HouseFrequently Asked Questions
Can we revisit the venue once we are booked?
Yes. We have open hours for the venue every Saturday from 9-10 a.m.
What time can we access the Venue on the day of our Wedding?
You can gain access to the venue at 10 a.m.
Earlier access will need to be scheduled beforehand, so make sure to reach out to us directly if that is something you need.
Is a rehearsal included with our rental of the Venue?
Yes. Saturday weddings have rehearsal on the Thursday before from 5-7 p.m.
Friday weddings have rehearsal on Thursday from 7:30-9:00 p.m.
Sunday weddings have rehearsal during our tour hours on Wednesday from 5-7 p.m.

How long do we have use of the Bride & Groom Suites on the day of the wedding?
You will have access to the Bride & Groom Suites from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. on the day of the wedding.
How is alcohol handled at the venue?
You may bring in all of your beverages, but if alcohol is being served, you’re required to use our bartenders.
Bartender rates are $30.00/hour. Any event under 100 guests requires one bartender and
any event over 100 guests requires two bartenders.
The venue will supply ice for the day, but you are required to provide all cups, napkins, etc.
Are there any additional costs?
We have tried to think of everything — including heating and cooling of the venue, free outdoor ceremonies, the use of our wooden cross or white arbor, even ice for the day!
The only item we are unable to include is event insurance, as it needs to be in your name.
What is event insurance?
When renting a venue, you are taking liability for your guests. Event insurance is designed to protect you.
Event insurance can be obtained by reaching out to your local agent, online, or we can send you some contacts that can help. Getting event insurance takes about 10 minutes, should be done about 30 days prior to the wedding, and will cost anywhere from $100 to $300.
How is cleaning handled?
We keep it simple; we ask for all trash to be disposed of in our dumpsters. All of your decorations, flowers, food, and beverages are taken home with you.
If you decide you would prefer not to touch a thing after your big day, we do offer a cleaning service. We will clean up and pack up all of your decorations in your provided boxes so they are ready for pick up the following Monday.
