Frequently Asked Questions
What is included in the venue fee?
- Your venue fee includes your allotted rental time, dependent upon your booking of a ceremony (60-minutes) or a reception (3-hours), plus 2-hours for set-up time and one-hour for breakdown. Additional rental time can be purchased per hour, with the rate depending upon the price of the garden you are renting. Also included, is 1-hour of rehearsal time the day prior to your event.
How many guests can your venue accommodate?
- Brumby Hall and Gardens can host ceremonies for up to 200 guests for weddings and receptions.
What is your back-up plan for inclement weather?
- All gardens can be tented in the event of rain. We are happy to recommend tenting companies that have experience tenting our gardens. Any outsourced tent rentals must be approved by us. All events are rain or shine; we do not reschedule for weather or refund deposits due to inclement weather.
What is your payment plan? Is my deposit refundable?
- We require 25% of the rental fee upfront to secure your date and this amount is non-refundable. The remaining balance is due 14-days prior to your event date. You are welcome to make payments in between if you choose to do so. The non-refundable deposit may be transferred once, should the date need to be changed, and if it is available for use that day.
Can we choose our own vendors?
- You may choose your own vendors. Brumby Gardens does require all vendors to provide a business license and proof of insurance. If alcohol is being dispensed on the property, your caterer or bartender must have a pouring license, The City of Marietta owns the Brumby Hall gardens and house. All dispensing of alcohol requires a City of Marietta permit for serving alcohol. If your caterer or other licensed mobile or stationary bar business is within the City limits, there is no cost to the owner of the business. If it is not within the City limits, the permit is $50. We are happy to provide a “preferred vendors” list if needed.
Is there a coordinator on-site?
- We do not offer day-of coordination services. Brumby Gardens requires all wedding clients to hire a day-of coordinator. If you or your day-of coordinator have any questions, please contact our Facilities Coordinator, Deborah Koss at 770-794-4470.
