Frequently Asked Questions
How many guests can you accommodate?
We can comfortably accommodate up to 250 seated guests within the chapel and 300 guests within the reception hall.
Will there be another event held on the same day?
We only host one event per day to ensure that each event is private and special.
How can I schedule a tour to see the venue?
Reservations are required for individual and group tours. Complete the form on the “Contact Us” tab, call, or email and we will be happy to accommodate your request.
Can I host a reception only at the venue? Is there a discounted rate?
We are dedicated to hosting no more than one event per day, and all of our pricing is based on the exclusive use of The Blue Magnolia for up to 13 hours. We do not offer discounts for reception only events.
Can you hold an event date if it’s not already booked?
Sorry, dates are reserved on a first-come, first-served basis, upon processing of a signed contract and non-refundable first payment.
What is the cancellation policy? If I cancel will my deposit be refunded?
Venue reservation fees and all payments made, regardless of due date, are non-transferable and non-refundable if you cancel the event. We highly recommend that in addition to purchasing Wedding/Event Liability Insurance, you also purchase Wedding/Event Cancellation Insurance which would cover any unexpected change of plans.
General Venue Questions:
What is the arrival/departure time for the day of event?
Once you have decided on your date, you will have exclusive access to the property and grounds from 10:00am to 11:00pm CST (with a 1-hour cleanup from 11:00pm -12:00am).
Do you require a Wedding Coordinator or Planner?
To ensure your event runs smoothly, we require that at a minimum, a Wedding Planner or Day-of Coordinator is hired.
Do you have to choose vendors from your preferred vendor list?
With the exception of our exclusive alcohol vendor, you may select vendors outside of our preferred vendor list as long as it is submitted to The Blue Magnolia team at least 90 days in advance of the event date and the vendor meets our standard requirements.
Can we rehearse at The Blue Magnolia?
Yes, the rental fee includes a one-hour rehearsal time. The latest time we offer for rehearsals is 4:00pm. Rehearsal times are based on venue availability. If an event is booked after you have chosen your rehearsal time, the booked event will take precedence and your rehearsal time will be rescheduled. You will be notified as soon as a conflict occurs.
Do you have areas for the bridal and grooms party to get ready?
Yes, The Blue Magnolia venue rental includes the use of the Bridal suite as well as the Groom’s suite on the day of your wedding. The suites can be accessed as early as 10:00am on the day of the event.
Do you require event insurance?
We require that each of our couples obtain event insurance for $1,000,000 liability, and if alcohol is served, you are required to get the additional alcohol insurance. It is a great idea to add on cancellation insurance to cover you in case anything happens prior to your event. This can be purchased through wedsafe.com and varies on pricing based on guest count.
Are there extra charges for cleanup?
Set up and take down of tables and chairs are included in the venue fee. At the end of the 13 hours' time frame, we require that all personal belongings you may have brought in such as bridal and grooms property, decor, florals, rental items, etc. be removed. All vendors, especially catering, are required to leave their areas as they found them. We have the venue professionally cleaned following each event.
