Refining the details of your occasion.
What is your payment schedule?

We require an initial deposit to reserve your dates, with the final balance due 30 days prior to your arrival. We accept checks, credit cards, and bank transfers for your convenience.

Do you allow outside alcohol?

Belvedere provides full bar service through our licensed and professional staff. To ensure compliance and service quality, outside alcohol is not permitted, though we offer a range of curated beer, wine, and spirits packages to suit your tastes.

What happens if it rains?

We offer beautiful indoor settings for all ceremonies and events. Our team monitors the forecast closely, collaborating with you to finalize any transitions 24 to 48 hours before your event.

Is there lodging available on-site?

Yes. The Residence at Belvedere offers private suites for the wedding couple and their immediate party. This allows you to inhabit the estate for the duration of your residency, from your arrival through the morning of your departure.

What is your catering policy?

To ensure the highest culinary standards, we work exclusively with a curated selection of preferred catering partners who are intimately familiar with our estate and equipped to deliver exceptional service in our unique setting.

Can we use our own vendors?

Certainly. While we provide a list of trusted partners, you are welcome to bring your own creative team. For the protection of your event and the estate, we require all outside vendors to be licensed and insured.

What is included in the venue residency?

Your residency includes exclusive access to the estate grounds, setup and breakdown, and on-site logistical support.

How far in advance should we book?

To secure your preferred dates, particularly during the peak season of May through October, we recommend inquiring 12 to 18 months in advance. We occasionally have availability for shorter timelines and welcome your inquiry regardless of the date.
