Our max capacity is 98 guests including the newlyweds. 

Once you have decided to book, we require one sixth of your total rental fee at the time of your booking (contract signing). The balance is then split out in 5 additional equal payments, with the last payment due three months prior to your event. You are always welcome to send smaller, partial payments of any amount prior to the specified due date, so in effect creating your own payment plan on your own schedule. For all payments, please include the last names of the couple and the wedding date in the memo line if you are mailing a check. But, we are flexible and want you to have the wedding of your dreams at Venue 290, so we want to hear your suggestions on what works best for you.

We kindly request that all tours are by appointment only.

That’s a wonderful question! Every wedding is unique, and we love helping couples create a day that perfectly reflects their vision. Pricing varies based on the details you choose, and we’ll walk through all options and costs during your personal tour so we can tailor everything just for you.

Yes! As an all-inclusive venue, our catering and bartending services are included—and trust us, and they’re seriously next-level. Delicious food, perfectly crafted drinks, and zero stress—your guests will be raving!

At Venue 290 we only host one wedding each day to ensure that each couple’s event is special and receives our full attention.

The Holiday Inn Express is less than 1.5 miles away and offers bulk room rates around $100 per night. We also have The Baymont Inn and several Bed and Breakfast/Air BNB locations within a mile or two.

50 cars in our lot, and multiple spaces on the street in front of the venue.

Depending on your guest count, we have tons of different floorplans that incorporate rounds, straights, both….you tell us your vision, and we will make it happen!

We offer table linens and cloth napkins that coordinate with your wedding colors if you purchase our Ultimate Wedding Experience (we’ll talk about this during your tour). If you do not purchase this add-on, you will need to bring your own linens. Luxury disposable plates, utensils, paper napkins, and cups are always included no mater what package you chose.

Because we only host one event per day, our fee structure remains the same whether you hold your ceremony, reception, or both onsite.

We are dog friendly, with some specific stipulations. Dogs are allowed (only with pre-approval by us) at the ceremony and pictures. Animals, other than service animals, are NOT allowed to hang out during the reception or near the food. Dogs must be on a leash and someone must be responsible for them other than the bride and groom. They must be taken home immediately following the ceremony and photos.

Cash, check, Venmo, PayPal and all major Credit Cards. Please note: any Credit Card payments will be assessed a 3.5% handling fee.

You will have access to the venue at the time listed on your contract, not earlier. Please plan accordingly.

We provide full service planning and coordination for every all-inclusive package.

We don’t want to scare the neighbors and also want to keep the fire department happy, therefore, fireworks are not permitted. We also only allow sparklers for non-alcoholic events.

No vehicles can be left overnight. Please advise your guests of this policy. We often have multiple weddings and events spanning a weekend; therefore, we need our spaces for their events.

Music and bar service on Saturday’s must conclude by 10:00 p.m. to ensure that you, all of your items, and all of your vendors are off property by closing time. Music on Fridays, Sundays, and weekdays must conclude by 8:00 p.m. to be off property by 9:00 pm.

Unfortunately, no. All deliveries must happen during the standard rental period. Please advise your vendors of this policy.

No, candles are not allowed for safety and fire prevention reasons. We do allow battery operated flameless candles.

In a pinch, yes if one is a child, but we would not recommend it for your guests comfort.

Since each situation is unique, we will discuss this during your tour.
