Congratulations, you’ve found your venue!

You’ve booked your wedding with Falling Water Gardens, so what are the next steps?

 


What else will we need from you?

✓ Banquet Permit – due one (1) month prior to event date

A banquet permit is a permit you apply for that allows the service and consumption of liquor at a private, invitation-only banquet or gathering held in a public place or business. Examples include weddings, company banquets, retirement parties, and club, organization or church events.

  • Order your banquet permit online here.
  • You must bring the permit with you the day of your event and it needs to be posted up in the bar area.
  • We also ask that you email a copy of the permit to us one month prior to the event so we know that you have it.
