Frequently Asked Questions
Can you hold a date for us while we decide?
Our event bookings are on a first-come-first-serve basis. We will hold your date initially for 48 hours but will only be able to officially secure your date upon receipt of a signed contract and 50% initial payment. Once you have decided to book with us, we will hold your desired date for 7 days from when you receive the contract so you can review the details and make your initial payment.
Booking & Payments
Do you allow outside vendors?
Absolutely. We provide all our clients with a curated preferred vendor list of professionals, but you can bring in your own favorite. Our vendor requirements are that you must have a licensed caterer and professional wedding planner/coordinator. All vendors must provide us with a Certificate of Insurance for their business liability insurance naming Hidden Hill Venue as an additional insured.
We want to bring in our own liquor. How do I obtain an ABC permit?
Absolutely! We don’t have any food or beverage minimums, so you are welcome to bring your own alcohol (which can be a huge cost savings). If you will be serving liquor, you do need to obtain an ABC permit. North Carolina ABC commission supplies Limited Special Occasion permits for this scenario. Please refer to their website and instructions to obtain your permit. If you will be having just beer and wine, no permit is required.
Do you allow food trucks?
We do allow food trucks at our venue, as they are a licensed and insured professional caterer. Tip: don’t forget about serving staff! If you hire a food truck for your reception, be sure to ask if they have staff you can hire to bus tables like a traditional catering service would provide.
Who is responsible for cleaning the property?
Our staff does a thorough cleaning before and after events (mopping, vacuuming, dusting, trash hauling etc.), but event parties are responsible for doing the following by a designated time: putting trash in designated locations, removing décor, flowers, and any other items brought onto the property.
Do you have onsite staff during our Day?
Absolutely! One of our team members will serve as a Venue Host and be present at any given time throughout your day. We will be there before you arrive and stay after you leave, ensuring everything with the venue is perfect for your day. Our Venue Hosts maintain the venue throughout your event by stocking restrooms, assisting with directing parking as guests arrive, maintaining our facilities, etc.
Vendors & Services
Is there onsite parking?
Yes, we have upper and lower onsite parking areas that can accommodate around 70 cars total. We highly recommend providing shuttle transportation for your guests so that out-of-towners are not driving on mountain roads after a celebratory night out! We have a list of transportation providers on our preferred vendor list.
Do you allow animals or pets on the property for events?
We do allow pets everywhere except for our getting ready suites so long as we are told in advance and they are supervised at all times while on the property. Tip: we highly recommend having a designated pet handler for your wedding day. We have recommendations on our vendor list.
Venue Details & Amenities
Is there lodging nearby?
Yes, we will provide you with a list of nearby rentals. Our two favorite hotels in the area are: The Fairfield Inn & Suites Historic Downtown Morganton and The Hampton Inn.
Also check out the properties at Stay at Worlds Inn - 6 houses combined sleep 42
Are there things to do in the area for our guests?
Yes! Morganton, NC has something for everyone including outdoor adventurers (hiking, kayaking, zip-lining, mountain biking, boating, fishing, etc.); food and wine lovers (wineries, breweries, great restaurants), sports lovers (Silver Creek Golf Club), shopping and other family-friendly activities (greenways, parks, disc golf, pickleball, splash pads). Visit Discoverburkecounty.com/natures-playground/ for more.
What time will our wedding rehearsal be?
The date of your complimentary 1 hour rehearsal is typically the day prior to your event and the exact time will be determined in your 30-day out meeting. We try to accommodate timing preferences, but availability for timing depends on other events scheduled for the week.
Logistics & Guest Experience
What are the legal requirements to file a marriage license in NC?
We’re located in Burke County, NC. You can obtain your marriage license from any North Carolina courthouse, and it must be done within 60 days prior to the wedding. It will expire after 60 days if the wedding hasn’t taken place. Your marriage license must also be filed within 10 days after the ceremony to the Register of Deeds office that issued the license. If there is any confusion about marriage license requirements, we recommend contacting the Register of Deeds where you will be obtaining your marriage license.
