IMPORTANT DUE DATES:
DUE ON THE FIRST OF THE MONTH, DURING THE MONTH PRIOR TO YOUR WEDDING: (For example, if your wedding date is September 23rd, the due date would be August 1st.)
1. Event Liability Insurance Certificate. Your event liability insurance must be valid for your wedding date and be in the amounts of $1,000,000 per occurrence / $2,000,000 general aggregate. This insurance can be purchased at wedsafe.com. Certificates can be emailed to richville5553@gmail.com.
2. Proof of Bartender’s Liability Insurance. Your bartender must carry $1,000,000 in liability coverage and “1885 Farms LLC, 5553 Richville Dr. LLC and all affiliates” must be added as an additional insured rider. Proof of insurance can be emailed to richville5553@gmail.com.
3. Refundable damage deposit. Damage deposits can be sent using the same payment method you use to make your monthly payments. For our records, this payment must be sent separately from your final payment for the venue. The damage deposit will be returned to you within two weeks of your wedding date, provided there are no damages.
4. Wedding Day Questionnaire. Completed questionnaires can be emailed to Audrey at richville5553@gmail.com. Please note that this is ONLY required for couples who have not purchased the Decorating Service. If you purchased the Decorating Service, you DO NOT need to complete this form. We will go over these things during our Decor Consultation.
OTHER DATES TO KEEP IN MIND:
TWELVE TO SIX MONTHS PRIOR TO YOUR WEDDING: Don’t forget to schedule your engagement photos at the farm. Our couples get complimentary access to the farm for their engagement photos. The majority of our flowers bloom August through mid October, but engagement sessions are available year round.
TWO MONTHS PRIOR TO YOUR WEDDING: If you purchased the Decorating Service, now is the time to reach out to Audrey to schedule your decor consultation. The decor consultation typically takes place two to four weeks prior to the wedding date, but you’ll want to get it scheduled as spaces fill up fast.

SAMPLE SEATING CHARTS
We will customize your table layout according to your guest count and desired arrangement. Here are some sample table layouts from previous weddings to help you determine which arrangement you’d like. If there is no room for dancing on the main floor, don’t worry! The attached gazebo or lower level make great dance floors. Both spaces have string lights hung from the ceiling to set the perfect vibe for dancing once the sun goes down!
