What is the procedure for a typical wedding/reception?
Typically, guests arrive for 5:00 pm and are greeted by our friendly staff, asked to sign a waiver then given a meal ticket and a ticket to get on the horse drawn wagon that takes them to the ceremony site. Soon after, the bride and her bridal party are brought in by horse drawn carriage. The ceremony lasts about 15 minutes. After the ceremony, the bride & groom are whisked away for a few minutes of alone time while we ask your guests to head over to the lodge or the Rubber Rodeo for some fun. The bride and groom are returned to the ceremony site for photographs with the wedding party and family. Once photos are finished, guests are seated in the lodge for dinner. The bridal party is introduced and seated and then dinner is served. Speeches can be given throughout or after dinner, which is followed by the cake cutting, bouquet & garter toss and “first dances” . Once all of this has taken place, the dance starts in the lodge, the Rubber Rodeo reopens, and the bon fires are lit outside.
