The Manor

Sunchild Farms offers an in-house catering option, however, an outside vendor may be used for an added vendor management fee of $500.00. All food must be provided by a licensed catering service. Homemade foods are not allowed. Outside caterers must be fully insured, licensed by the health department, and provide servers if buffet lines are to be utilized. Failure to meet these requirements will result in the caterer not being allowed into the venue. 

Beer, wine, champagne, and seltzers with a maximum of 6% alcohol content are permitted. For events of 100 guests or more, security guards must be hired through the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office, or any licensed and bonded agency and be present for your event. 

Up to three mixed drinks with hard liquor are allowed if security guards are hired (regardless of guest count) and special event insurance with host liquor liability coverage is purchased with Sunchild Farms added as an additional insurance. 

Tailgating, kegs, doubles, shots, and 100 proof alcohol are not permitted. Bar service may open after the ceremony ends and may remain open for a maximum of five hours.

Sunchild Farms requires that all couples have a designated day-of coordinator. We highly recommend that couples hire a professional coordinator. A day-of coordinator helps with the day-of timeline, oversees décor setup and clean-up, keeps things running on time, ensures wedding party members are in place and acts as the point of contact during the wedding day for Sunchild Farms staff if questions or issues arise.  

 Glitter, confetti, Chinese lanterns, and sparklers are not allowed. Open flame candles may be used on the concrete surfaces. No pushpins, nails, screws, staples, tacks, glue, other adhesive material, or chains may be used on trees, on chairs, or in landscaped areas. Zip ties and twine are preferred methods of attaching décor. Command strips are not allowed on painted walls but may be used on barn-wood surfaces. Smoke effects, explosives, or pyrotechnics by applicant, applicant’s vendors, or guests are not allowed. 

 All couples must tour the venue before booking. Once a tour has been completed, a signed contract and nonrefundable, nontransferable save-the-date retainer payment are required to officially save your date. 

 Approximately half of the venue rental fee will be due at the time of booking. The remainder of your venue rental fee, as well as any add-ons will be due 30 days before your event. A $500.00 refundable security deposit will also be added to your final invoice.

Pricing for packages is subject to change without notice.

 All save-the-date retainer payments are nontransferable and nonrefundable. If a wedding is canceled or postponed six or more months before the event date, a refund of the venue rental fee (if already paid) minus the save-the-date retainer will be given. If an event is canceled or postponed four months or less prior to the event date, the couple will forgo a refund and be responsible for paying the remainder of the venue rental fee.  

 Per your contract, vendors can begin arriving once your rental period has begun. They will also be responsible for removing any items before the end of your rental period. 

 Rental time varies based upon which package has been booked and which day of the week your wedding falls on. Please note that your event setup and cleanup must be completed during the designated rental time. Exceeding this time will result in an additional fee. 

Sunchild Farms can accommodate weddings up to 300 people 

Sunchild farms venue management team will be on-site during the entirety of your event to handle venue-related tasks and issues. They will place your tables and chairs, restock the bathrooms, take the trash to the dumpster, break down tables and chairs, and deep clean the venue at the end of the night. Event staff will also help with bussing tables in conjunction with our in-house caterer. Event setup and tear-down are the responsibility of the wedding client or their hired vendors. 

Sunchild Farms clients are responsible for removing all personal items, décor, leftover food, additional event items, signage, and floral by the end of the rental time. If using an outside caterer, the client is responsible for making sure the kitchen is cleared of all items according to the standards of our in-house catering partner.
