When the contract is signed and emailed back, 50% is due. (This can be in one payment or spread over two months.) The other half is due four months before the wedding date, and the refundable security deposit is due six weeks before the wedding date.

To reserve a date, email us at twingableseventcenter@gmail.com and let us know the ready-to-book date(s) you want to book so we can confirm it is available. If you have not toured and want to, you can request a tour (or a Facetime tour if you live out of the area) on our tour request page. An in-person tour is not required before booking a date. Brides do book sight unseen. Dates are reserved on a first-requested basis. Whoever has requested to start the contract process from us by email for a specific date will be first in line.

Yes. This is for your safety, the safety of the guests. All bartenders will be licensed and properly insured.

Guest tables are 60-inch round tables that seat eight. We have a limited number of 8-foot and 6-foot rectangular tables for the head table, buffet, gift table, dessert table, etc. For a beautiful look, we have two barrel tables that are similar to an 8-foot rectangular table that can be inside or under the big arch outside where guests enter.

In the case of rain, we have a beautiful backdrop indoors with the glass door or barn doors. Guests sit at their tables. Sometimes, close family members, around 20-50, will bring their chairs to the dance floor as an option. (The dance floor is always open.) The TGEC team might have to move the few (usually 3 - 4) tables down the side of the venue if needed. We set up for rain if it’s calling for it, so there are choices in aisles. Our couples have loved this option because it’s a stunning ceremony and doesn’t require the room flip other venues require.

We do not provide a wedding coordinator. However, we do have a team leader onsite. Someone on our team will answer questions from your vendors and direct them as necessary, etc. They are there to answer your questions, too.
