Q:  I fell in love with Sparrow Lane. How do I book?

A:  Great! Just reach out via email with your date. Once we have confirmed availability, we can get you on the calendar! We do require a 40% retainer and a signed contract to hold your date.

Q:  What is the capacity at Sparrow Lane?

A:  Ideally, we are 200 guests or less

Q: What are the rental times?

A:  Rental times are 9:00 am to 11:30 pm on Friday and Saturday nights. 9:00 to 11:00 pm on weeknights. 

Q:  Are there outdoor ceremony options?

A:  Yes! With 50 acres there are several different options for outdoor ceremonies.

Q:  Do you allow outside catering/bar service?

A:  You bet! We welcome all outside vendors!

 Q:  Do you have a preferred vendors list?

A:   We don't have a list of vendors that you have to choose from, but we are happy to help with any recommendations you may need!

Q:  Do you have a place to get ready?

A:  Absolutely! In addition to the Reception Hall and the Chapel we also have two adorable cottages for you and your bridal party to hang out in and get ready for the big day!

Q:  Are all the buildings air conditioned?

A:  Yes! All four buildings have central heat and air!

Q:  Do we have to set up and/or clean up?

A:  We will have the tables and chairs ready for you in the reception hall and the chapel. If you want to do an outside ceremony you will want to arrange a crew to move the chairs out of and back into the chapel or to add on set up service with us 30 days prior to the event (fee’s apply). For cleanup, everyone pays a cleaning/security deposit, in addition to the rental fee. If you choose to clean up your deposit will be returned to you. If you would rather forgo your deposit and have us clean for you, that is totally fine, we just need to know 30 days in advance. 

Q:  Can we rent the venue for more than one day?

A:  You bet! Multiple day rentals are pretty common around here! You even get the option to stay in the cottages with a 2 day rental!  You would have access from 9:00 am on day one to 11:30 pm on day two.

Q:  Is rehearsal time included in our venue rental?

A:  Yes! Each rental comes with an hour and a half of rehearsal time. We typically book those 90 days before your wedding. I try to get as close to the wedding as possible, but we do have to work around our event schedule so I cannot promise it will be the day before without a two day rental.

Q:  Are tables and chairs included in the rental price?

A:  Yes! I have enough tables and chairs to seat 200! Our round tables are made to seat 10 people. 132” linens are floor length on our round tables. We also have 12 beautiful wooden 6’ rectangle tables available for you to use. It works great to use the wooden tables first to designate the dance floor and then fill in with round tables as needed to accommodate your guest count. Not to mention, it looks stunning to have a mix of the warm wooden tables and chairs, and pops of color with the linens for the round tables. (even if that color is white) It’s absolutely beautiful!

Q:  Do you provide linens?

A:  I do not personally do linens, but we do have a vendor that offers a white crushed satin linen for our couples at a special rate. They rent for $15.00 a piece. If you would like to order those particular linens, you just need to let me know how many you need 30 days prior to the event.

Q:  Do you have decor for us to use?

A:  I do have some decor. I don’t want everyone’s weddings to look the same, so my decor is mostly filler as opposed to full centerpieces, etc.

Q:  Can we have real flame candles?

A: Pillar, votive, or floating candles can be live flame as long as they are in glass holders. Taper candles need to be flameless. We do have glass cylinder holders you are welcome to borrow, however, if you use ours you are limited to battery operated Pilars, which we have here at the venue, or floating candles.

Q:  What restrictions do you have?

A:  We don’t allow confetti or glitter, or fireworks since we are surrounded by hay fields. Sparklers are just fine though. 

Q:  Do you have staff on site the day of?

A:  I will be here in the morning to greet you and get the day started, then we have a venue host that will be on site about an hour before ceremony starts through the end of the event. We aslo have staff that will come in to deep clean the venue at the end of the event, so you will be in good hands!

Q: What is the address for the Venue?

A: We are located at 5629 S. 111th rd., Willard, MO 65781
