Wedding questions
When are weddings available?
On-site weddings and receptions are available September through May, depending on availability, guest count and space.
Can we have our wedding at Fenimore's in June, July or August?
Fenimore's Table does not host private on-site weddings in June, July and August. Please still get in touch, because catering and other wedding options may be available.
Do we need a wedding coordinator?
Yes. Every wedding at Fenimore's Table needs a professional wedding coordinator or planner to run the timeline, coordinate vendors and oversee setup. Our team handles the venue, food and beverage service.
How do we reserve our date?
Your date is confirmed when we receive the signed wedding agreement and a non-refundable deposit of 25% of the estimated total. We can offer a courtesy hold for up to 7 days while you decide.
What is the payment schedule?
25% at booking, another 25% 90 days before the wedding, and the remaining estimated balance 14 days before. Bar and other consumption charges are settled under the final agreement.
When are the menu and guest count due?
Menu selections are due 30 days before the wedding. The final guaranteed guest count, plated entrée selections and any dietary restrictions or allergies are due 14 days before. Charges are based on the guaranteed count or actual attendance, whichever is greater.
Does the per-person price include the venue?
No. Per-person menu pricing covers the food. Use of the restaurant or event space, and any food and beverage minimum, are set in your wedding proposal.
How long is the reception?
Reception packages include up to 5 hours of event time. Additional time can be arranged in advance and may add charges. Vendor setup and breakdown times are set separately in the event timeline.
Can we bring our own caterer, cake or alcohol?
Reception food is provided by Fenimore's Table. A professionally made wedding cake or specialty dessert from an approved bakery may be allowed with management approval. Outside alcohol is not permitted.
What is included, and what costs extra?
Standard Fenimore's tables and chairs may be included depending on the layout. Specialty chairs, linens, china, glassware, tents, dance floors, lighting, florals, décor, entertainment and specialty A/V are additional unless your proposal includes them. Tax and service charges are added.
Can you host the rest of the weekend?
Yes, depending on availability. We also host rehearsal dinners, welcome gatherings, showers and farewell brunches.
