You have questions. We have answers.
We realize that you might have a lot of questions when it comes to choosing a wedding venue. We are here to make that choice as stress free and easy as possible. Here are a list of frequently asked questions that will hopefully make your decision super simple!

What dates are available?
Please refer to our available dates page HERE.
How do payments work?
All rentals require a $500 initial payment to reserve your date. This payment then goes towards your total payments. From your total amount due, subtract your deposit and then split that amount into three payments – a ¼ payment, ½ payment and another ¼ payment.
If your event is booked more than 1.5 years to your wedding date, the payment schedule is as follows:
1st payment - At booking $500
15 months out – ¼ payment
11 months out – ½ payment
7 months out – ¼ payment
If your event is booked more than one year to your wedding date, the payment schedule is as follows:
1st payment - At booking $500
1 year out – ¼ payment
8 months out – ½ payment
6 months out – ¼ payment
Example - $1500 total event cost would be a $500 deposit, with final payments of $250 at 1 year, $500 at 8 months and $250 at 6 months.
For events booked under 1 year to the wedding date, payments are: $500 deposit, with ½ payment at 8 months, and ½ payment at 6 months.
For events booked sooner than 8 months a specialized payment schedule will be given.
Do I need to schedule a tour or can I just stop by?
All tours are by appointment. After reading over all of our information, please contact us HERE to schedule.
In addition to individual tours, we offer an open house one time per month, that is the perfect time to tour! During our “off-season”, these dates are typically during a weekend, and during our busy season, they are generally on a Sunday afternoon, or a week night. Check out our open house page HERE to see when the next open house is.
How do I reserve a date?
Email whitney@thelegacyonpossumrun.com and tell us you want to book a date! After confirming the date is available, we will get you set up with an online reservation form and contract. Upon filling out the reservation form and turning in your $500 initial payment, your date will be held for one week. This one week will give you a chance to read over the contract fully and sign it. Once it is signed, the $500 deposit gets deposited and goes toward your total amount due. Then your date is set in stone. If the final contract is NOT signed in the seven days, your $500 deposit gets returned, and your date is no longer held.
What is the average budget of a couple getting married at The Legacy on Possum Run?
Good thought. A total budget will help you decide whether we might be a good fit for each other. Our typical couple spends between $12,000 - $18,000 (when considering venue, food, dress, décor, food, photographer, DJ etc…) for around a 200-person wedding. Some couples have definitely stayed below that as there are many vendors and options to choose from, and likewise many have gone above that price range. What’s nice about The Legacy is you have so many options to choose from when choosing your own vendors – its so much easier to stay within the budget you envision.
Is there a guest count minimum? Do you charge less money for less people? Is there a maximum number of guests?
Good question. No we do not have a guest count minimum. And no, there is no price difference if you have less people. We do offer some micro-wedding options/elopement packages. As for a maximum, the highest guest count for a wedding or reception is 250 people.
Do you book multiple events on the same day?
No. Although we have multiple spaces, we will not have another event taking place the same day as your wedding.
Are there overnight accommodations nearby?
Yes, please see our accommodations page HERE.
Can your parking lot accommodate all my wedding guests?
Our parking lot can accommodate cars for a 250-person wedding.
Do you have straight tables or round?
We have a mixture of both. Our guest tables are all 60” round tables and we have many 8’ rectangle tables to be used for food, etc. Bridal party tables have many styles and we are happy to help you choose what will work best for you.
Do we set up our own tables?
No. We handle all table and chair set up and tear down for you! We will already have a floorplan that we have discussed together - so everything is set up how you would like it!
Are table linens, cups, silverware, etc. included?
No they are not. Why not? Well, we want you to have options. Many venues include linens in their packages, and we get that, but they also bake it into the cost of their venue rental. We are trying to keep that cost down for you, realizing that some caterers include them in their cost, some people own their own linens, and not all people have the same taste in linens.
Because of this, we leave it up to you to provide linens, but we do have a rental package for them if you are interested. Basic white, black, and ivory table linens can be rented from one of our partners, right from The Legacy!
We do not provide any dinner or drinkware, or silverware (this is also something that many caterers provide or you can rent through them).
Can our dog be a part of our ceremony?
Yes! We understand that your fur-babies are family too. Dogs must be leashed any time they are in the facility or on the property (with the exception of during the ceremony).
What form of payment does The Legacy accept?
We accept cash, check or credit card. If you are paying by credit card there will be an approximate 3% fee that is charged to each payment. This payment will not automatically be added to the payment; instead, the payment will be made and the fee will accrue and be paid at a later date.
If my preferred date is unavailable, do you have a waiting list?
No, I’m sorry we do not.
Where can I find pictures of the décor available?
Here is just a bit of our décor that is available! We have tried to keep up with photos of everything, but to be honest, we just keep getting more and it’s impossible to keep it updated. So come see it for yourself! And yes - its all FREE to use!
Are candles allowed?
Flameless candles are allowed. No open flame candles are allowed. A flame candle may be used in the event of a unity candle but must be blown out before the room is not longer in use.
What time will I have access to the venue to decorate?
For one day packages, you will be able to access the venue at 9am. For two-day packages, you are given a 6-hour window the day before to do all of your decorating. 90% of decorating must be done the day before if you are choosing the two-day option.
When can I do a rehearsal?
If you are renting The Legacy for two days, the set-up day is the day you would do your rehearsal. If you are choosing a one day option, you would be able to do your rehearsal the morning of the wedding (for instance around 10:00a.m., or you may do a rehearsal at one of our open houses).
