How far in advance can we reserve our wedding date?

Wedding dates can be reserved up to two years in advance.

​

Please note that weddings scheduled between April and August are subject to the release of the MiLB schedule, which is typically announced mid to late September of the preceding year. During this period, availability is limited, as private events cannot be hosted on home game days. Our team will work closely with you to confirm dates as soon as the schedule is released.

What is required to officially book the space?

To officially reserve your date, a signed contract and a deposit ranging from $500–$1,500 are required. The remaining balance is due prior to the event date.
