What happens in the event of rain?
Unlike many venues, Stable Craft Brewing at Hermitage Hill has an indoor ceremony site available in the event of inclement weather.
We plan to have our ceremony off-site, or plan to have only our ceremony at Hermitage Hill, does the site fee change?
Because we only host one event per day, our fee structure remains the same regardless of whether you hold your ceremony, reception or both, on-site.
Do you allow dogs on-site to play a part in our wedding day?
Dogs are allowed outside on a leash at the ceremony and pictures. Animals, other than service animals, are NOT allowed under roof or near food. Your dog is at your own risk near our donkeys and horses. We frequently refer our neighbor “Home Away From Home” for boarding and grooming for wedding parties with canine participants.
My preferred dates are unavailable. Do you have a cancellation waiting list?
We do not keep a cancellation waiting list because once a date is purchased, we DO NOT resell your wedding date.
Does the venue come with a “Day-of" Wedding Coordinator?
Unfortunately, if you're trying to compare venues "apples to apples" we feel that this is a tricky question. Our answer is no. We think its possible for the job duties of a '"day-of wedding coordinator" to mean something different to you than it does to us, and the last thing we want is miscommunication. However, we do have a venue representative on-site before you arrive that will stay with the venue throughout the day. They can assist with questions regarding set-up, where outlets are located, and set up and break down ceremony chairs. We recommend every bride hire a professional wedding planner to assist with the day-of activities. Please click here for list of our approved wedding planners.
What are our catering options for Stable Craft Brewing at Hermitage Hill Farm?
Stable Craft Brewing at Hermitage Hill offers on-site catering services for all of our events. Executive Chef Stephan Klein previously from The Homestead Resort heads up our culinary team with his expertise.
Can I bring in an outside caterer?
We do not allow outside caterers at this time.
If we choose the one day option, will we be able to access the location early to rehearse our ceremony?
If you elect the one day rental, our venue will likely be reserved by another couple the night before. For that reason, one day rentals should plan for an off-site rehearsal.
Do you include linens in your rental?
Linens are not included in the rental cost, however NEW this season, we will include an inventory of Farmhouse tables that pair ever so beautifully with our Chiavari chairs and afford you signfiicant savings on linen rentals.
Can we have fireworks or candles for our wedding?
We do not allow fireworks or candles because of fire concerns to our horses and the hay storage in our barn.
Can we plug in an iPod instead hiring a DJ?
YES! New for 2019, we have installed a professional Presona sound system so you may use a playlist for your wedding reception. This new benefit helps save money on your wedding day.
We are using a rental company. Can they drop off or pick up items outside of the rental period?
All rentals, catering equipment , etc. must be removed at the conclusion of the event. Large items maybe stored in a designated area until 11 a.m. for pick-up the following business day.
May we bring in our beer?
We do not allow outside beer due to Virginia ABC laws and the fact that we manufacture craft beer. We offer 16 styles of beer and offer an American Blonde Ale that will suit those with non-craft beer drinking palates.
Can we nail decorations in the walls?
As our family logged some the trees off of our farm and cut the boards one by one, we request that holes are not placed in the walls. We do have areas where hooks are already placed that you are welcome to use for any additional decorations. We hope that you will find them beautiful without any extra work!
What is the event clean-up process?
The party must stop at 10pm and the room returned to broom clean condition by 11:00 pm. All approved caterers on our list are aware of these rules. All materials brought in for your wedding must be removed before exiting the property at 11:30 pm. All guests and staff must be off the property by 11:30 pm in accordance with our county’s rules and regulations.
How far in advance do you need final headcount, timeline and list of vendors?
In order for Stable Craft’s team to effectively set up for your wedding day, we need all information 8 weeks in advance prior to your scheduled wedding day.
