Do you have a limitation on which outside caterers
you can use?
|
| We allow any outside
catering you wish. We have had everything from potluck
barbeques to lavish catered meals. We provide you with
all the necessary table settings (Plates, silverware,
stemware etc.) but all serving dishes and utensils are
your, or your caterers responsibility. See our
Recommended Caterers. |
|
Can I bring your own liquor?
|
| Yes, you are responsible
for any beverages you would like served. Including
alcohol, soda or juices. Our staff refills water glasses
during the reception. You are also required
to have a state certified alcohol server (this is
required by law). If you choose we can provide 2
alcohol servers for $60.00/hr with a 4 hour minimum. |

requirements? |
| Along with a state
certified alcohol server you are also required to have a
banquet permit which you can get at any Washington State
Liquor Store. |

and/or relax?
|
| Yes, we have a separate
bridal suite as well as a grooms suite for changing,
relaxing or hiding out! They are both equipped with 2
sinks, large mirrors and counters as well as couches and
chairs for sitting. Each room can easily fit the entire
bridal party. |

100+ cars at no additional charge |
|
How many weddings will be booked on my day?

| You will have exclusive
use of the 22 acre ranch for your day. There will not be
anyone on the grounds except your guests and the Pine
River Ranch staff. |
|
What times do the Wedding Ceremonies take place?
|
| That is up to you. The
Ranch is yours from 3pm to 11 am the morning after your
ceremony. The only limitations are music must be off by
10 pm and guests not staying in the suites must be off
the grounds by 11 pm. |
|
Do you have any backup plans for rain or other
inclement weather?
|
| Yes we have a few
options for inclement weather. If you are having an
outdoor ceremony and are worried about bad weather let
us know at least an hour before the ceremony and we can
set up the ceremony inside the barn. When the ceremony
is over our staff will remove all the chairs immediately
and shuffle a few tables and your reception will be ready
within minutes with a very minor delay. If your wedding
is scheduled for the winter or you would like an indoor
ceremony the barn can be set up the exact same way. We
have had winter weddings two ways with the ceremony set
up inside and the bride, groom and officiate on the deck
outside and also with the bride and groom in the main
lawn in front of the arbor and guests standing on the
deck. We can work with any requests to make your wedding
exactly like you pictured. |
|
Am I able to make a room block for my wedding or
special event?
|
| It
is required that you rent all 6 suites at Pine River for
your wedding. There is also nearby lodging available
that we can recommend for you to reserve additional
rooms. We are also able to accommodate self contained
motor homes if previously arranged for an overnight fee,
we can also arrange for additional breakfasts if
previously arranged for a fee. |

to your package like motor home parking and extra
breakfasts but there are absolutely no costs that will
"sneak up" on you. |
|
Is the wedding venue wheelchair accessible? How close
