Those who book wedding events with us are fully responsible for any and all alcohol served to their guests.

Many professional catering companies will have specifically trained staff available for the serving of adult beverages. Pheasant Run Farm Bed & Breakfast | Weddings and Events will assume no responsibility for its service or use during your event. Our guests are to be aware that under no circumstances should their event become a mere "drinking party".
How long are Weddings and Receptions at Pheasant Run Farm?
You and your guests will have use of the reception room, patio, and grounds for 5 hours. All parties must end by 10PM.
If you wish to have an evening event for example, you could begin the ceremony at 5PM and have your guests leave by 10PM.

Guests may plan their event their way, but an example may be planning approximately 1.5 hours for the ceremony, picture taking, and hors d’oeuvres. For a reception, one may plan 1.5 hours for the main meal, and then 2 hours for dancing and socializing.
May we extend the time of our Event?
Unfortunately, all events must adhere to the 5 hour rule.

The Bride will have a suite in the Bed & Breakfast to get ready, which will be available by 11:30AM on the wedding day. The Bride and Groom may spend the wedding night in the same room, it’s complimentary. A fully served breakfast on the morning after the wedding is included for the Newlyweds.
Is there a place for the Groom to get ready?
There is a lounge with a separate entrance available for the Groom and Groomsmen to ready themselves for the special day.
Is there a site for an outdoor Wedding Ceremony?
We have several outdoor areas that can be utilized as scenic locations for your Wedding Ceremony. One of our most popular spots is across the white foot bridge in front of the waterfall where there is usually some pleasantly dappled shade. A sunny location – something to consider especially if you are having an Autumn Wedding – would be under the white pergola in the meadow.
What happens if it rains or snows on our Special Day?
We advise always having a back-up plan, just in case the weather is uncooperative. Your Wedding Ceremony could be held indoors in Jacob’s Room (the room with a wood floor that is usually used for dancing). Another option is to have your Wedding “Dinner Theater” style with the guests seated at their tables and the Bride and Groom standing in front of the open French doors. No matter what happens – your Wedding Planner, Caterer, Friends and Family members, as well as our staff – will be willing to help things go smoothly.
Can we decorate?
You may decorate, but you may not use tape of any kind, tacks or nails on the walls, woodwork, or ceiling. You may use tacks in the old beams only if you remove them when you are finished. If there are any helium filled balloons, do not let them float unreachable to the ceiling nor let them go outdoors – as the strings and balloon materials are dangerous to local animals and wildlife. Please note that the picture above the fireplace is not to be moved. (No confetti or loose glitter please!)
May we use candles?
You may use candles if the flames are enclosed – such as in a glass container – and there is a plate under them to catch any wax. Battery–operated candles are a wonderful option.
May we scatter flower petals on the grass?
Fresh flower petals may be scattered and left on the grass.
If you use silk flower petals, they must be raked up – as they do not disintegrate.
May we have a DJ?
Yes. Please keep in mind that music – except for music for an outdoor Wedding Ceremony – must be kept indoors.
Is any furniture included?
Yes. Furniture we offer for use on site includes 1 black antique sideboard, 1 craftsman-made farm table for the food buffet table, 2 48" round tables, 4 rectangular 6' long tables, 1 36" round table that can be used for cake or as a sweetheart table, and 10 5' round tables that can seat 8 to 10 guests each. Tablecloths are not provided as most caterers will provide tablecloths as part of their services. There are 100 silver Chivari chairs with white cushions. For an outdoor Wedding Ceremony, there are 22 white wooden Amish-crafted benches that are 7' long and seat 4 to 5 guests each. The benches are rough on the bottom and cannot be brought indoors. Setting up the benches is the responsibility of the wedding party, as well as putting them away. Wrought iron patio furniture and umbrellas are available for sitting on the patio.
Must we take away the trash?
You may leave 2 bags of trash in our dumpster (which is next to the parking lot). We encourage separation and recycling. We will provide 2 trash cans and trash bags. You may also leave any aluminum cans to be recycled in a separate bag. Please arrange to have the rest of any remaining trash removed upon the end of your event.
May we put balloons or signs at the front entry?
Yes, but you must take them down when the party ends. If there are any helium filled balloons, do not let them float away nor let them go outdoors – as the strings and balloon materials are dangerous to local animals and wildlife.
