Do you provide catering? Is there a kitchen?
We do not provide catering services. Clients can bring in any catering vendor they prefer! We do not have an onsite prep kitchen, so any caterer must either bring equipment to prepare food (ex: food truck, portable grill, etc.) or they must bring food which was prepared offsite. We do have a 14 cu ft. refrigerator located in the groom's room for small/medium items. Ask us about our recommended vendors list!
Can we bring our own alcohol?
Yes! Clients are able to buy alcohol and bring it to the venue, but it must be served by a licensed and insured bartender. We allow beer, wine, and cocktails, but we do not allow shots of liquor anywhere on the property.
Do we get access the day before for a rehearsal?
Our standard rental is for 1 day only and does not include access to the property the day before the event. Most clients rehearse offsite, and sometimes they will do a quick run through first thing on the wedding day. Ask us about our rehearsal package if you need more than 1 day for your event!
What happens if it rains?
Ohio's weather is unpredictable. In the event of rain, we will likely move your reception into our tent. Most couples choose to have their ceremony in the pine forest even in the rain, as the trees reduce the intensity of rainfall. If the rain is torrential, we would advise the ceremony to also take place under the tent, or delay the ceremony until the rain weakens.
How does set-up and tear-down work?
Wildflower Woods will set up all of your tables and chairs for the ceremony and reception. While we do offer a large array of decorations, it is up to the client to decorate the ceremony and reception sites using whatever décor they choose to use or bring. During tear-down, Wildflower Woods staff will make sure that any borrowed decorations are collected, while all other decorations must be cleaned up by the client. If reception tables and chairs are set up in the pine forest, clients are responsible for bringing them under the tent at the end of the night.
We offer day-of wedding coordination for an additional fee which handles most of the decoration set-up, timeline management, assistance with tear-down, and more!

What about electric?
Although our venue is surrounded by nature and feels far away from modern life, we do provide electrical outlets and power sources for all your wedding day needs. DJs have access to a single power source in the ceremony meadow, while multiple outlets are located in the pine forest and throughout the tent.
