Evangeline Acres is a family-run venue grounded in our belief in traditional marriage between one man and one woman. While we warmly welcome all guests, the ceremonies we host must reflect these values.
A signed rental agreement and a 30% non-refundable deposit are required to secure your date.
Payments are broken down into three parts:
A $500 refundable security deposit is due 30 days before your event to be refunded 14 days after the event if there is no damage, policy violations, or overtime occurred.
All contracts, invoices, and communication will be handled through HoneyBook, our secure client portal.
You will have your own Client Portal, which you can access through the links sent to your email or by using the Client Login on our website. This is where you’ll find your documents, invoices, proposals, and any updates related to your event.
We prefer all payments to be processed through HoneyBook for convenience and transparency. HoneyBook accepts the following payment methods:
Direct payments outside of HoneyBook may be accepted, but HoneyBook remains the primary platform for managing and tracking your payment schedule.
Yes. You’ll have 24/7 access to your signed agreements, invoices, and payment history through HoneyBook. Just click Client Login on our website to open your portal..
Yes. All official venue-related updates and reminders will be shared through HoneyBook to keep everything in one place. You’ll also receive email notifications for reminders and important updates, so you never miss a detail.
Yes, you may bring in your own vendors, but they must be preapproved by the venue at least 30 days before your event. We’re happy to review your selections and ensure everything aligns smoothly with our guidelines so your day is exactly how you envision it. Please provide a complete list of all your vendors 30 days before the event.
Cooking inside the venue is not permitted. However, food trucks and food carts are allowed with prior approval.
Yes, beer, wine, and champagne are permitted. All alcohol must be served by a licensed, insured, and preapproved bartender. No liquor or distilled spirits are allowed at the venue. Depending on the size or style of your event, security may also be required to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone.
Smoking is allowed only in designated outdoor areas.
For safety reasons, fireworks, sky lanterns, and similar items are not permitted. Sparklers (hand held) may be allowed outdoors with prior approval.
We currently provide up to 200 white chairs and 30 rectangular tables for your event. If you prefer different styles (such as round tables or specialty seating), these can be rented through nearby suppliers.
We welcome décor that enhances your celebration, but please avoid items that may cause damage to the property. Please see restrictions or your contract for a comprehensive list. All décor must be removed at the end of your rental period. You are also welcome to use any décor items we have available on hand at no extra cost. Our collection is currently limited, but we are expanding our inventory over time.
To help keep Evangeline Acres beautiful for every celebration, we avoid décor that can damage the property. This includes nails, staples, thumbtacks, strong adhesives, tapes of any kind, glitter, sparkling sand, cold sparklers, fireworks, and sky lanterns.
If any prohibited décor leaves marks or residue, an additional cleaning fee may apply. And because certain adhesives can cause hidden damage, using them may also result in a penalty. These guidelines help us maintain the space for all our couples and guests.
Open flames aren’t allowed, but candles in fully enclosed glass holders are perfectly fine. Handheld sparklers may also be allowed outdoors with prior approval. We’re always happy to look over your décor ideas and help make sure everything is venue-safe.
Pets are not allowed due to farm animals on the property. (Service animals are, of course, permitted.)
Inclusions vary by package but generally include tables, chairs, and setup. We do not provide full cleanup services. As a simple guideline: whatever we set up, we will break down. Anything you or your vendors bring in must be fully broken down, cleaned up, and removed by your team. We will haul off the bagged trash only.
Yes. A Day of Coordinator is required for all weddings at Evangeline Acres to ensure the day runs smoothly. They handle vendor communication, scheduling, and logistics so everything stays on track. Your coordinator must not be part of the wedding party, a family member, or a wedding guest so they can stay fully focused on managing the event. If you prefer, we offer an in-house coordinator who can assist for a small additional fee.
You’ll have access to the preparation suites as early as 7:00 AM on the day of your wedding. Vendors may also begin arriving at that time unless otherwise arranged with the venue.
All events must conclude by 10:00 PM, with cleanup completed by 11:00 PM.
Yes! Every wedding package includes a complimentary 1-hour weekday engagement session on the property. If you’d like more time, you can pre-purchase additional hours at $50 per hour depending on your needs. Extra time beyond the included hour will be charged accordingly.
Yes, a 1-hour rehearsal is included in select packages. The exact rehearsal access depends on the package you choose, so please check your package details for what’s included. If you need more time, you’re welcome to add additional rehearsal hours at $50 per hour. Any extra time beyond the included hour will be charged accordingly.
Yes, you can book the property for photo or video sessions at $50 per hour. If you’d like to use the preparation suites during your shoot, that can be added on for an additional fee of $25 per hour.
We ask that all couples have a contingency plan in place for outdoor ceremonies and receptions. If weather becomes a concern, we’ll work with you to relocate your event indoors at Cedar Hall or another available covered space. Final decisions about moving indoors should be made at least 4 hours before the event start time. Please note that while we’ll do our best to accommodate, the venue is not liable for any changes in experience caused by weather.

Yes. This is one of those details couples often don’t think about until the wedding day. Evangeline Acres has a large commercial ice machine, so there are no last-minute ice runs, no hauling bags, and no worries about warm drinks. Many venues don’t offer this, and it helps keep your bar and refreshments running smoothly.
We also provide:
All of these are included at no extra cost and give your catering and bartending teams a smoother, more organized setup.
