Question 1

How many guests can SageView host?

Accepted Answer

Venue capacities are max 150 people per booking as per our safety regulations.

Question 2

Who sets up and packs down décor? Are there any restrictions?

Accepted Answer

Your team will be responsible for all setup and take-down of décor.

Restricted items:  
We do not allow the use of any real flame candles, sparklers, fireworks, floating lanterns or anything with open flame.

No decor affixed to walls or ceilings. All decor must be easily removable and cause no damage to the site (stick on hooks are allowed)

We do not allow glitter, confetti, rice or silly string as the clean up is impossible.  If you wish to have guests throw items when you walk down the aisle we recommend bird seed or dried flower petals.

If you do have extra décor that may interfere with this policy, we ask that you get in touch with your Wedding Coordinator before purchasing anything, as we do have the right to refuse.

Question 3

What are your prices?

Accepted Answer

We know your budget is the most important aspect of your planning process, which is why we are always fully transparent with our services and charges. Our pricing may vary depending on the time of year, weekend or week-day rates and any additional services you wish to add to your package. We can work with you to help bring your vision to life within your budget constraints.

Question 4

Can we bring our own caterer or beverages?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely, we encourage couples to source their own services, but we do have some vendors that come highly recommended.

Please note: You must supply your own special event liquor license. (Proof required) and hire your own pro-serve bartenders and servers.  If you book a professional bartending service from one of our preferred vendors, they will include this in their service.

Question 5

What seasons can we book our event?

Accepted Answer

All of our sites are non-heated and have 3 season availability. We are opening our doors for official bookings for 2025 and 2026 from the July long weekend to after the September long weekend. In special cases, we will open for an off-season event. Please contact our staff and submit a special request.

Question 6

What happens if the weather ruins our plans for an outdoor ceremony?

Accepted Answer

In case of unforgiving weather, RVA has you covered. We offer our Quonset indoor reception area as a ceremony backup, ensuring your ceremony can proceed seamlessly and beautifully, regardless of the weather. Our dedicated wedding coordinators will manage all the logistics so you can relax and enjoy your special day stress-free. In fact, some couples prefer this space as a ceremony setup from the beginning.

Question 7

Are Pets allowed? What about horses?

Accepted Answer

When we say Barn, we mean it! There will be many animals already on site such as horses, chickens and dogs. We love our animals and know you do too, which is why we kindly ask if your pet is part of your party that it remains on a leash and under control at all times. Any 'business' it may have is promptly picked up and disposed of.

If you have a horse, we offer overnight paddock and pasture space at $40 per day. The owner will be responsible for providing hay and feed accordingly.
