Frequently asked Questions
Do you require any specific vendors?
The only vendor we require that you use is a licensed and insured bartending service. You can find a few of our favorites on our preferred vendor list!
Does Dove Hollow provide outdoor ceremony Seating?
No, we do not provide chairs for an outdoor ceremony as our 200 chairs will be inside at your reception tables. Clients will be responsible for renting seating for an outdoor ceremony. We provide seating in the chapel.
What if it rains on wedding Day?
No worries, we have a beautiful climate controlled chapel on our property that seats 200 guests. Hold your ceremony inside our chapel, and then have your guests head over to the Dove reception barn to celebrate! Our chapel can always be your Plan A ceremony option, or simply used as a backup plan- the price doesn’t change!
Do you require security?
Security is required for every event at Dove Hollow, but we will set this up for you. Payment is required at the 30 day meeting (every Client meets with us 30 days before to go over the event details and create a floor plan). It is $35 per hour per officer. One officer is required per 100 people.
How many guests can you hold?
We have enough tables and chairs to hold 200 guests with some seating being on the covered porch so there is ample room for the dance floor, DJ, bar, cake table, gift table, etc. The barn comfortably seats 160-170 guests for an indoor reception with a dance floor. We frequently host events with over 200 guests, and in this case there is a $500 overage fee and valet is required.
Are there any hidden costs?
Nope! The only other payment we require, other than the initial deposit, final payment, and security officer payment, are two checks, each for $500. These checks cover any damages or time overage that may occur. You will give these to us at your 30 day meeting, but they are not “cashed” unless there is a damage to the barn or unless cleaning is still underway after midnight, in which case, we discuss with our clients first.
Can I have my rehearsal or rehearsal dinner at Dove?
We hold weddings every day of the week, so there may be a wedding the night before yours, but if there is not, we do allow you to have a 1 hour rehearsal the night before your wedding. If there is a wedding taking place the night before your wedding, we are happy to schedule your 1 hour rehearsal Monday-Thursday the week of your wedding, or you can rehearse the morning of your wedding starting at 9 AM at no additional cost. If you would like to have your rehearsal dinner the Friday before your Saturday wedding at Dove, please look in to our 3 day wedding package on the pricing tab. This is the only package that allows a rehearsal dinner at the venue.
Do you provide any décor or linens?
At this time, we do not. Check out our preferred vendors tab to view our recommended rental options. We do offer a moongate backdrop for you to use if you so desire.
Do you offer In-House Coordinating or Wedding Planning Services?
Yes we do! Please see the MadLove Events tab at the top of our website for further details!
