Do you offer discounts (Military, student, etc.)?
One Preston Events is dedicated to our community. To show our gratitude for the hardworking members of our military, teachers and
first responders (police, EMT, firefighters), we have special discounted pricing. Contact us for more information on our discounts.

Do you require security for a reception?
Security is required for all events serving alcohol. Please contact us for information on alcohol service and security.

Can I host a ceremony at the chapel without reserving a venue for a reception?
Yes, you can have a ceremony at our indoor chapel or outdoor Gazebo space without a booked reception. Our stand-alone chapel and outdoor spaces can be rented hourly. Please contact us directly for availability and pricing.

Do I meet with someone prior to the event?
Yes, you will have a venue host to meet with prior to the event. Site visits are scheduled with the venue host as needed.

Do you offer on-site coordination?
One Preston Events has an amazing team of wedding/event coordinators that can be hired for planning and coordination services. We will provide a dedicated venue host to assist with venue details only if you do not use our coordination services.

Are we responsible for tables, chairs, and linens?
Tables, indoor/outdoor chairs and linens are included in your rental fee. We also have a rental catalog with items you can rent for an additional fee; including decorations, centerpieces, charger plates, lighting, arches and much more. You can find our rental catalog on our website or contact us directly for more information.

When should I provide you with a floor plan for my event?
All floor plans are due no later than 30 days prior to your event. After booking, the venue team will discuss the layout of your
venue space and set up the agreed upon floor plan prior to the event.

Can I hire my own vendors (caterer, coordinator, DJ, etc.), or must I select from a preferred vendor list? If I can bring my own, do you have a list of recommended vendors?
One Preston Events has a preferred vendor list, but does allow the use of outside vendors. All vendors not on the preferred vendor
list must provide COI and contact us to complete our new vendor form at least 60 days prior to your event.

Can we rehearse at One Preston Events?
Yes, the rental fee includes a rehearsal time. 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.

Can I set up the day before my wedding?
All setup will be restricted to the rental period unless otherwise agreed upon with One Preston Events staff. If additional hours are requested, an additional charge may be incurred.

Do you have areas for the wedding parties to get ready?
Yes, the rental fee includes the use of the getting ready suites on the day of your event.

What is the cancellation policy? If I cancel will my deposit be refunded?
Venue fees and payments are non-refundable. However, we will do our best to accommodate date changes. We highly recommend that in addition to purchasing wedding liability insurance, you also purchase wedding/event cancellation insurance which would cover any unexpected change of plans.
