Honeysuckle Hills, LLC, 934 Mill Creek Road, Pigeon Forge, TN 37863, agrees to provide all the wedding and photography services listed on your invoice. Your invoice will be sent within 24 to 48 hours after we receive your contract.

By paying your invoice, you agree that all services and applicable discounts are correct. Ask for corrections before making your payment. Your bouquet credit, catering credit, and cake cannot be removed after you make your first payment because we will send the required, nonrefundable payment to the vendors. Please ask for those items to be removed now if you are unsure if they are needed. We can always add them back later.

Our payment schedule:

1/3 due within three days of receiving your invoice after signing contract

1/3 due within 60 days of the wedding date

1/3 due within 14 days of the wedding date

Additional payments may be made any time, but all payments are non-refundable because we are guaranteeing a specific date, and the wedding market is unique with the timeline in which couples plan and secure dates.

Further, all payments are nonrefundable regardless of circumstances, including but not limited to changes in plans, life events, weather, pandemics, wars and national disasters. While not required, we strongly recommend event and travel insurance.

You may reschedule your wedding one time, based on availability. We guarantee your price for one year. If you reschedule your wedding for a date more than one year later, the current pricing applies at the time of rescheduling and we will bill for any difference.

There is a $100 administrative fee to change your wedding package to a smaller one later, regardless of the paid balance at the time of the change. There are no refunds for any payments made that exceed the cost of the newly chosen wedding package.

Your private venue time begins with your guest's entry time, one hour prior to your ceremony. Prior to this time we reserve the right to schedule bridal meetings and venue tours. These appointments are typically scheduled at either 9am or 10am, and we always respect your privacy.

No other wedding or photography session will take place on your wedding day.

We allow up to 45 minutes to gather your personal belongings after your exit time.

If you or any guest is on property one hour past your exit time, we charge $999 on Saturdays and $899 per hour on weekdays.

Should events be delayed for any reason on wedding day, this may require some challenging decisions on your part such as how long to wait on people running late, and if you are willing to pay the overtime fee. Our coordinator strives to keep everyone on time, so please lean on us when things don't go as originally planned. Your happiness means the world to us!

That said, please choose a wedding package with enough activity time for all your ideas and photography requests. Review your itinerary and ask for advice to make changes or additions if needed.

Initials, I have read the above refund policy*

You are responsible for any property damage caused by you or any of your guests. We reserve the right to bill you for these damages and use all legal means to collect. Examples of damage include, but are not limited to graffiti, breaking furniture or decor on purpose, or excessive removal of our plants and flowers.

Honeysuckle Hills, LLC, is not responsible for inclement weather of any kind. There are no refunds if it rains on your wedding day or if you or your guests cannot make it to the venue because of snow or any other act of God.

You must adhere to all federal and state laws concerning alcohol consumption.

Our venue does not allow alcohol consumption until after the ceremony. By law, you are required to have a last call 45 minutes prior to your exit and the bar closes 15 minutes later.

Your Vendors

(Unless you choose to remove them)

Buddy's Custom Catering

Buddy's Catering has a 30 person minimum. If your guest count is fewer than 30, we will pack up any leftovers to take with you. It's very common to see lower guest counts with this package.

A $1000 credit is included in your package with Buddy's Custom Catering.

A menu will be provided. After you make your selections, we'll get the final price from Buddy's.

If your choices are less than $1,000, we will provide a credit reflecting the difference on your invoice.

if your choices are higher than $1,000, we will provide a charge reflecting the difference on your invoice. This is common if guest counts rise or if you choose higher priced menu items.

Buddy's provides styrofoam plates, plastic cups and silverware. If you prefer to bring fancier diningware, our staff will set those items out for you.

The food is served buffet style on long, rectangular tables with either white or black table cloths.

You have a choice of white or black table cloths for your guests, and sage or cream crepe table runners. You may bring your own table centerpieces or use ours. (ask for a picture of our current centerpieces if you like)

We will have enough round tables set out to accommodate your guest count. Each round table typically seats up to six guests each, but can be modified to suit a seating arrangement if necessary. (less than six at each table, or no more than 8 at each table)

Wedding Cake

A cake with buttercream design, up to three tiers, serving up to 30 guests, is included in your package.

A woman named Amber with Bakery and Desserts by Gracie will reach out to you by email to help you choose your design.

She will deliver your cake on wedding day.

White plates, napkins, and plastic forks are included.

If you bring your own diningware we will use those instead.

You may bring your own cake cutter or borrow ours.

Please bring your own cake topper.

Our staff will cut and serve the cake.

Photography

If you choose this package with our photographer, it includes all images of photographer's discretion in high resolution with a copyright release.

If you add an hour to your venue activity time, this does not include our photography. The cost to add more photography is $500 per hour.

All photography by Regina Starkey or any other Honeysuckle Hills, LLC, staff member is the sole property of YOU and Honeysuckle Hills, LLC, protected by federal copyright laws.

In the event of inclement weather, we will use covered and indoor areas for your photography and the use of umbrellas in the absence of dangerous situations like lightning.

Every effort will be made to provide high quality services and deliver requested ideas or poses. Our photographer works best when given full creative freedom instead of a rigid list.

Because a wedding is a uncontrolled event, we cannot guarantee delivery of every requested image or pose. We will not be held liable for the finished product or incomplete covereage in the event of time restrictions (because you are late, for example,) or constraints placed on our photographer by you or guests.

If the photographer included in your package experiences a family emergency or becomes to ill to work, we will make every effort to replace your photographer with one with equal qualifications. If for some reason we cannot do this, we will refund the total cost of hte photography in your package and you agree to accept this as compensation IN FULL.
