Weekend Weddings
A
Saturday wedding here at Wades Point Inn on the Bay requires
the purchase of all 26 sleeping rooms for both Friday and
Saturday nights. The ideal is for the bride and groom to
assign rooms for the bridal party, family and special guests.
Then, all other rooms may be booked on a first come first
served basis. Fifty percent of your non-refundable grounds,
facility and wedding coordinator fee is due when your contract
is signed, with the balance due one month prior to the event.
Using a Visa or MasterCard, each guest can call to guarantee
their reservation. Rooms will be charged at check-in in order
that a final bill can be presented before check-out. You will
be responsible for any rooms that are not occupied.

own expense. Your caterer can arrange for portable bathroom
facilities, a cook tent and a tent for the reception. The
tents will be set up west of the Kemp Guest House and
facilities will be in an appropriate location.
Receptions are limited to any four hour period of time
starting at noon and ending at 10 PM. The grounds will be

level of the music is not to exceed the owners' comfort level
and if alcohol is abused, it will be removed. The "Lookout

"Walk-Down Weddings"
When
the reception is being held elsewhere and only the wedding
ceremony is being held on property, a "Walk Down Wedding" may
be arranged. There is a facility fee for this event in the
amount of $30 per person, with a maximum of 125 people
attending. This event is limited to two hours and those two
hours can occur between noon and sunset. The term "walk down"
refers to all cars being parked off site and guests walking
down, weather permitting, the lane to the ceremony site on the
knoll by the cove. If music is a part of the ceremony, it must
not be overly loud and disturb the Inn guests. Photographs
and/or videos on the grounds are allowed, but be mindful of
the two hour time limit.

hundred to one hundred twenty-five guests. It's the
responsibility of the bride and groom to arrange for a tent if
more than 60 guests are expected.
Rates quoted are for
2010.
