The Wilderness Presidential Resort does not supply décor, linens etc. The Pavilions have wooden tables and benches and trash cans. All rentals will be required for your celebration unless you decide to use the indoor event space. In this space, tables and chairs are available for use and may not be moved to other locations. The Tent is new, it is white and does have sides. It can be moved but will always have to stay 'fire safety compliant' and will require a permit. This is usually at an additional fee. Details on request.
Your event timeframe includes your set-up and clean-up time unless contracted differently at an additional fee, per additional hour/s.
You may bring in or have delivered party snacks/food (no onsite grilling allowed without prior authorization from management), cake, soft drinks etc. at no additional fee. The Resort does not provide any food or beverages but can share a list of preferred venders on request.
A 50% Deposit is required at time of booking. The deposit is non-refundable if the party is cancelled within 48 hours prior to the event.
If you leave the venue dirty, you will be billed an additional clean-up fee.
The packages detailed above include an accommodation block. This will allow your guests to call in directly and reserve their cottage or cabin. In the event you do not fill your accommodation, the Resort will make every effort to resell the room nights. If they are unable to do so, then you will be liable for the nights not filled.
