WEDDINGS
& 
ELOPEMENTS

We have a list of preferred catering vendors that know our property and do great work.

We do require a professional day of coordinator for events with over 20 guests. We have 2 amazing in town coordinators we highly recommend who have managed many successful events here at the property. You are permitted to any hire a coordinator of your choice.

We're open to other catering teams outside of our recommended list who meet our requirements. Couples will hire their caterer and have a separate contract with said caterer. The caterer you choose must provide Magnolia House with proof of insurance certificate naming the Mag House, LLC as an additional insured. The caterer will bring their own food service and cleanup team to collaborate with your coordination team.

If you choose to serve liquor a one-time liquor permit is required for all weddings and events on Magnolia House property, per NC law. You will be responsible for applying for and paying the permit fee of $50. This permit must be provided prior to the event.

Yes! You can bring your own beer or wine. We do require all events over 20 guests to hire a professional bartending team to serve beverages throughout the event.

There is a noise ordinance in Hot Springs. There are plenty of wonderful bands that we can allow, although bands with very loud drums will not pass the noise ordinance, unfortunately. DJ's are permitted with the consideration of noise levels being taken into account. Any loud music will need to be finished by 10 pm, and afterward, ambient music can remain on, playing softly. Should you decide you'd like to hire a band, you'll need a noise ordinance permit from the town of Hot Springs.

Rain during our peak wedding season does occasionally happen. Rain options include getting married under the pavilion, if needed. Often times, if there is rain, it's usually a quick shower that we can work around!

Every couple is required to purchase Wedding Event Liability Insurance through wedsafe.com, which is usually ~$250 for entire weekend event. The Mag House, LLC must be named as an additional insured.

Yes! There is a $1,000 property damage security deposit that is due 7 days prior to the wedding event start date. The security deposit will be refunded, providing that there are no damages on, around, or inside the property. There will be more details about this in your contract!

Aside from getting your necessary permits later on, in order to book your wedding or elopement with Magnolia Estate requires a signed contract, and a 50% deposit. All of the cancellation and refund information will be outlined in your contract, and you can ask questions when you come for a tour, or at booking, as well! The final payment is due 90 days prior to your event.
