Ceremony

How can I get married at the gazebo if it's raining?

You can't, or at least you probably shouldn't.  That's why Norlyn Manor has a chapel, if the weather outside isn't as perfect as the rest of you wedding day, you can move your ceremony into the chapel and never miss a beat.

​

Is there a place for me to get ready before my wedding?

Yes, Norlyn Manor has a beautiful and spacious bridal room for you and your bridesmaids to get dressed.

​

Vendors

Is there a vendor list we need to choose from?

No, you are welcome to work with any wedding professional you want.

​

Do you have a preferred vendor list?

No, we can offer advice if you'd prefer, but we feel charging vendors to be on a preferred list only hurts our credibility as wedding professionals.

​

When can my DJ, florist, or baker arrive?

Generally, vendors can come in any time after we open in the morning, but if they would like specific times, we would be happy to answer them for you.  Just have your vendors give us a call.

Bar

What beers are included in the unlimited package?

The unlimited package includes Bud Light, Miller Lite, and Budweiser.

​

What wines are included in the unlimited package?

The unlimited package includes Stone Cellars Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Chardonnay, as well as Beringer White Zinfindel.

​

Are liquor packages available as well?

Yes, a top shelf liquor package can be added to the beer and wine package for $8 per guest.

​

Can we bring in a different beer, wine, or liquor?

No, because we have a liquor license, the State of Ohio does not allow customers to bring in any alcoholic beverages, but we can order it for you.  Generally, we charge a small stocking fee for this, please inquire for more information.

​

Decorations

Are candles allowed to be used?

Yes, but there are some fire code restrictions to keep in mind.  All candles must be contained in a glass or metal votive, lantern or other appropriate vessel.  The flame of the candle cannot be taller than the vessel that holds it.  So if the wick of the candle is within an inch of the top of the votive, the votive is not tall enough.

​

Are there any restrictions on decorations?

Yes, Glitter and confetti are not allowed.  We also do not allow anything to be taped, nailed, pinned, tacked, or in any way adhered to the walls.

​

Will you set-up my decorations for me?

Yes, but with a few restrictions.  We are happy to put out party favors, flower petals, centerpieces, table numbers, decorations, etc.  We will fill vases for floating candles and light the candles.  We cannot however, assemble floral centerpieces or hang tulle or garland, these tasks are reserved for your florist.  

​

Food

What caterer do you use?

We don't.  All of our food made in house, from scratch, and served fresh.
