Thank you for considering the 1812 Hitching Post for your wedding. You will be so thrilled with all we can do for you to make your wedding day be the most it can be! One of the best things you get with ALL packages is our almost 20 years of experience. We set up EVERYTHING that we provide for you so you and your family do not have to work on your wedding day.
It’s easy to book; just tell us the date and the time you want to walk down the aisle! We just divide your total into easy payments. We then divide the balance of your contracted amount into monthly payments that are due the same date of each month as your wedding date. The final venue payment, along with payment for any catering and additional guests, is due a month before your wedding. It doesn’t get any easier!
We send you a checklist for planning; you only have to contact one person (email and text is great!) about everything provided by our venue for your wedding from the decorations you want, your ceremony vows, your reception and ceremony music, and more. You can’t have a more relaxing and enjoyable wedding experience!
All weddings held in the evening will have outdoor lighting to include twinkle lights and bistro or Edison globe lights. The fire pit and tiki torches are available weather permitting.
Photography services are also available!
