Wedding Ceremonies, Receptions, and Socials
Rules and Regulations (candles, decorating, alcohol, etc.)
Wedding ceremonies and receptions have been held virtually everywhere on the beautifully landscaped grounds. Think of a special location which looks appealing to your bride and groom…under the fir trees, on the front steps of the original house, in the gazebo, under the walnut trees facing the lovely established grape arbor. The possibilities are endless at Gentle House! Ask our staff for ideas.

The renter is responsible for setting up tables and chairs for the event and then returning them to their storage location following the event unless prior arrangements are made. The Gentle house Staff can be hired to do this. We would need a diagram of your desired set up at least 2 weeks prior to the event.
