When you arrive on your wedding day, the venue will be set up with all the tables and chairs according to the layout provided by your planner. The ceremony site and reception chairs as well as end-of-night breakdown/cleanup will be taken care of by our staff. Some venues require your caterer to do this adding anywhere from $2,000 - $2,500 to your catering bill. You are responsible for removing any items you brought in or rented on the day of your rental.
What is the policy on food?
We believe food is a big part of your wedding and we want you to have a choice in who you use. You are welcome to bring in any catering you wish however, we do require all caterers to be licensed and insured. There is an on-site walk-through with a member of our staff at least 30 days prior to your event. All food (cake, appetizers, coffee bars, etc) must be handled by a licensed food service provider. Lone Star Oaks does not cut cake or serve any type of food to your guests.

One of the couple must notify us immediately in writing if you need to cancel. All monies paid to that point are nonrefundable.
In the event of rain, we can move your ceremony into our chapel.

We find it best to have it the afternoon of the wedding after the bridal party has arrived. You can also do it wherever you have your rehearsal dinner.
